Canada muffler damage

so this thing is obviously finishd. is there anything I need to know about replacement that might same me a headache? i'm going to change it myself sometime soon, possibly with the help of a generous friend with a lift, although not a very mechanical friend. I have the giant manual, and I just changed my rad and cleaned out my throttle body yesterday, although this is my first time wrenchin.

The Chrysler muffler is expensive. So as I did when I had my 89 xj I went to Cdn Tire and bought there "Cherry Bomb" (flashie red) its cost me at the time $35. a couple of muffler clamps (also bought there) if need be a small pc of pipe between the catalytic converter & muffler all in all $50. max. On the 4 litre there is a slight pleasant sound, not loud. And this muffler fits up there really nicely and allot lighter too. The muffler lasted me 3.5 year

Thats not good, but you might try and find a tube that will fit it and have it put in and then I wud suggest u keep the tire as a spare or run it in the rear. Patching it most places won't do it, but if u do find someone I wud say keep it for a spare only. If someone does patch it they might have u sign a waver clearing them of any damage that might occur from the use of that tire.
