I've got a 1981 Jeep CJ7 (6 cyl) that needs a new muffler due to the rotted out old one. Easy enough to replace, right? WRONG!
The previous owner had everything from the catalytic convertor to the exhaust pipe welded together. He also had Headman Headers installed on the manifold.
The only piece that has not been welded on the exhaust, is on the pipe that comes out of the cat that connects to the headers via nuts and bolts.
So, it would appear that this is my only option at cleanly removing the exhaust. But where do I find all of the connection pipes? My main problem is finding a pipe that I can reconnect to the header and then to the catalytic converter (that I must replace due to the welding). I'd like to do this without welding. Any ideas out there?
ps- i would like to use a cat rather than omitting it entirely.

Arggh! This sounds so custom that you can't count on OE parts to work or fit without some cutting or add on short pieces. If you don't have torches this is going to be tough.
You may find it cost efficient to have a muffler shop just weld in another muffler if the rest is ok to save.
Where I live you can't eliminate a converter from any vehicle that was made with one new -- could be different where you live,
