I agree with Juan Carlos. I suggest you cover the slits in the end of the insert.

If you don't want to weld, you might be able to secure a washer in the outlet of the insert with several screws.

I'm not quite understanding where the washer would be. Can you make a simple draw ?

You install the washer in the muffler outlet, as described in the following thread.

You could also purchase a db Dawg.

Alright, so I ended up using that insert and I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with the results

Noise has been lowered a lot but still sounds 'punchy' :P

I still need to secure it. The first attempt was trying to use a bolt that snapped its head

2nd attempt will be a bolt + locking washer + nut.

Ah, I also plan to apply high temp paint to the insert to avoid rusting

I'm happy with the results. Is hard to hear the difference in a video but believe me it does sound lower, quieter. As a result now I hear the engine

More pics, now painted!

Your quiet insert sounds great.

You did a very nice installation.
