This is my first post here, and I know this topic has been beaten to death. Hopefully my questions are a little different, because after lots of searching I still can't seem to find the answers. The truck is a 2011 2500HD Hemi
When installing an aftermarket muffler, where do you guys mount it? I removed my stock one, and any replacement is going to be shorter than the stock 38" can, so did you install a piece of pipe before or after the muffler. Obviously this will affect sound somewhat, and I'm thinking if i mount it further towards the rear it will help with some drone and cab noise.
Also the new muffler won't have hangers, so is there a way to hang the new one, or will the hanger on the front and tail pipe be sufficient?
Lastly, I just bought the truck (used), and I'm wondering if there's anything specific for issues to look for? I've read about manifold bolt rattle, hemi tick, and some steering wander stuff, but so far this truck seems ok.
Thanks for any help!
