Did you really mean 6” diameter???

Yep, 3”inlet/ 3”outlet with a 6“ diameter outside shell.
It currently touches the differential, but a session with a ball peen hammer (strategically used) will give it some clearance. It isn’t as pretty as the 4” Magnaflow, but is substantially quieter.

Total spent with all of the changes ( 3 baffles and rewelding, too) $3500. Ouch, but it is done and it is nice!

Reflective!
Still a close fit , but the hammer to the muffler case and the shaved differential casting area did the job.

Headliner in. Not my best project, but I’ve reached the “I don’t care zone” with this item. There are some details left to do on the back transition “rail.”

Yep, lots of polished nuts on this car.
Stealth decal under the hood.

(Details: waiting on the air bubbles to "pop out.")
