Has anybody used Ractive brand mufflers on their Vette. I picked up a set of polished stainless steel mufflers, look very nice but do not have any flange on back of mufflers to use rear hanger. any ideas on how to install them.

Not sure how they are now, but they sold some downright horrible stuff in the late '90s. Most of their mufflers were glasspacks that neck down to about 3/4" diameter on the inside. A muffler like that would choke off a Honda Civic. See if you can spot how much this one necks down.

These mufflers are the same overall size as stock mufflers.Inlet @ 2.25"
Outlet looks larger. From what i can see inside looks fine also.
