    I made my own deflector out of sheet metal and screwed it on... it doesn't look too bad, and I can run a screen. I just cut it the same size as the deflector and screw through both at the same time. You can drill through the cat like Mike said, but I like a side outlet better anyways. It's less prone to melting the top plastic... I also don't see the point in buying a non-cat muffler when I can just mod the cat muffler and get the same results. ;)

    I'd take a picture of my muff-mof, but my new iPhone 6 (POS) won't upload pics to the forum. :hair:

    November!! Buddy just ordered I think 2 weeks ago and got it like the day they shipped them?

    Chevy. You getting the big plus phone? If I were an apple guy that would be the one I got. Apple finally got with the times and made a big screen. Only took them what 3 years or more? I might of looked at apple harder a dew years ago or even last year when I got a new phone but the tiny screen was a deal killer. My first smart phone was the same size as the 4 and that was what was out at the time 3.5" screen. I could barely and I mean barely type on that thing it was so small.:Yar:

    The last update iOS 8 is the problem. If you look in the Suggestions and support forum, you will see a thread with some of the problems.

    What browser are you running? Safari or Chrome?


    To stay on track, I would just drill through the back of the muffler as well. But you better have a good drill bit :)

    Update the OS to iOS 8.0.2 and it should fix that problem. iOS 8 (even the updated version) has still got a few bugs that need to get squashed.

    I've had nothing but apple products since my apple IIgs but can't see spending the money for an iPhone

    Just stepped out of the dark ages and ordered an android smart phone from republic wireless. $10 a month for unlimited talk and text. No contract and can switch to a 3G ($25)or 4g ($40) plan and back whenever I feel like it. And since it uses wifi to make calls when possible I'll actually be able to use my cell phone at my house.

    I have a network extender from Verizon. Fixes that no service at the house thing quite nicely.

    Yeah, there are a lot of newer low cost options now. Better then being locked into a 2 year $$$ agreement.

    Ting and freedom pop are a couple others that have some interesting deals as well. For me being able to have cell unlimited minutes and a wifi phone for $10 a month means I can ditch my landline and save $35.

    Anyone know if a 266 deflector will fit on the left side of the muffler BEHIND the baffle? For those not knowing where the baffle is, it's the seam on the muffler.

    Mastermind.....you here?

    Mike I looked up Republic wireless. Its a bit sketchy to me. You only get 25mb of data per month it looks like over the cell?

    You can burn that up in a day just responding to these forums let alone actually using the net on your phone!!! Watch a dang 200mb youtube video and there is 200!!!

    It's unlimited 3 0r 4g data on the sprint network. The 25mb limit is for roaming data.
