If it is welded on, you can grind away at the weld until it either falls off, or you see what appears to be a crack all around the weld ( you can then pry it off). If it is clamped on, then you should just have to beat the rust away with a hammer and chisel. But really, mufflers are so cheap you should just get a new one.
Probably a rotted exhaust pipe has broken off. Take the car to a muffler shop for repair.
the thermostat on most mercury's is located just above the muffler. must remove exhaust pipe and muffler to reach thermostat. good luck.
on the exhaust pipe ;)
the resonator is a separate part of the exhaust system not part of the muffler it is to change the tone of an engine sound some are mounted before the muffler and some after the muffler if you really want to remove it cut it off with a sawsall or chain cutter and weld in a piece of pipe or look at a aftermarket exhaust catalog many replacement pipes omit resonator's.
You have to remove the intermediate exhaust pipe, the muffler, and drop the rear differential to remove the gas tank. gas tank must be removed
The exhaust valve, the exhaust manifold, the header pipe, the catalytic converter, the muffler and the tail pipe, not to mention the clamps and hangers.

Answer: Welded onBelow would be how to repair if the muffler has broken away from the exhaust pipe.If you have a welding machine:If your just attaching the muffler, You would need to attach the muffler to its hanger, then find a way to secure it to the exhaust so you can then weld it in place.If you do not have a welding machine:Most auto repair shops, have a welding machine so that they can do these kind of repairs if you lose your muffler, you can also purchase some special muffler/exhaust tape to tape around the break. Using the tape is a temporary fix.
It carries the exhaust away from each cylinder and routes it to the exhaust pipe where it flows to the catalytic converter and then to the muffler where the sound is deadened. It then flows from the muffler to the tailpipe where it is released into the atmosphere.
its about 2.5" but that is from the headers to the muffler and the tail pipe is 3"
That big pipe on the bottom of your car with the cat and muffler on it, ends in a tail pipe, squirts pixie dust.
It will make the exhaust come out those holes instead of the the tail pipe. Just take your vehicle to a muffler shop and have them remove your muffler and put pipe in it's place. No restriction means more flow which means higher performance, unless your talking about a 2-stroke then don't f with it.
