Default axle back

I just got a flowmaster 50 delta flow. pipe starts right in front of rear axle and exits almost where stock did...just a little higher. $175 out the door installed.....good low sound, no interior resonance, and tucked up out of the way alot more than the stock muffler..

The MBRP has a deep tone but its very quiet. Its a nice tone in the morning. but you cant hear it when driving.

Was just looking at my exhaust very simple to take off the muffler might go do that here in a few min. What is the best way to get the rubber hangers off with out destroying them?

I did it by spraying the some WD40 to oil it up and then using a big screwdriver to pry them off and it worked fine and i have taken my muffler off like 4 times now
