You just have to do what anyone here would do . Check your local parts stores or muffler shops . An independent muffler shop can put one on a lot easier than you can yourself . ---

I have had good luck with the pipe bender places. They replaced everything from the cat back for less than I could by parts for. An extra $15 to weld the split cat. 7 years later the muffler went out, it was replaced under the lifetime warranty, though I did have to pay $3.50 for a new clamp. And the place an indy shop is still in business 20 years later. ---

I once put a new muffler on the 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass that I owned. I bought the muffler at NAPA. I spent two hours installing the new muffler. When that muffler failed, I didn’t have time to replace the muffler, so I went to an independent muffler shop. The muffler was replaced in ten minutes and the total cost, parts and labor, was less than what I paid for the previous muffler at NAPA. ---

And don’t forget to change your muffler bearings at the same time. Wouldn’t want to ruin a new muffler with old muffler bearings! 😆 ---

> [@Brandon34](#): > > What is a good low price 3" muffler? Surf over to [rockauto.com](http://rockauto.com) , see what they offer in the way of mufflers for your car. They’ll usually list a number of vendor and pricing options. For the 5.4L engines there’s 4 options, ranging from $48 to $98. The oem replacement job looks to price out at $775, and about an hour labor. ---

![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/1/13347abaa2d640602abcff6f2d0b41932f624d2b.jpeg) Because muffler bearings are exposed to water, snow, and ice, I always pack them with a good quality synthetic marine grease. Even though the muffler is toast, the bearings are like new. ---

Maybe the ball bearings are why Scott Muffler company went out of business … 😉 [https://www.cartalk.com/radio/puzzler/muffled-out-0](https://www.cartalk.com/radio/puzzler/muffled-out-0) ---

> Blockquote What is a good low price 3" muffler? > [What Is A Cat Back Exhaust Systems? - Land Of Auto Guys](https://www.autoguysland.com/cat-back-exhaust-systems/) Hi. If you are going for low price, and don’t have a welding machine, local muffler shop is a best solution. They usually have a range of cheap universal mufflers. It’s a cut-out and weld-in job. Other option is a specific replacement part, which comes with piping and flanges. This is something that can be done with only a basic socket set on your driveway. PS. Avoid glasspacks. They burno-out fairly fast.
