If anyone doesn't know, replacing the mufflers is actually really easy. I did it with a
14mm socket and ratchet
2 2inch exhaust clamps
2 new mufflers
1 pair of slip joint pliers(large)
The aftermarket mufflers have a larger inlet pipe than OEM so that it will slip over the 1 7/8 pipe and then clamp down with a 2 inch clamp. I would suggest cutting the old mufflers new further than an inch away from the muffler to get the best mating surface for the new ones. I used a reciprocating saw with metal cutting blades and safety glasses.
I didn't even have to jack up the car either.
Basically, cut off the muffler, use the pliers to help push the muffler out of the hangar and boom. Then put the new muffler over the Y pipe and slip into the hangar.
This is what both of my mufflers looked like:
They didn't even muffle anymore haha and were full of carbon chunks.
