Claim 9:
10. A method for modifying an exhaust system of a motor vehicle having an engine, an exhaust flow path, and a factory catalytic converter positioned within the exhaust flow path between the engine and a factory muffler having a downstream end attached to a pipe section visible to the motor vehicle's exterior, the factory catalytic converter being connected to the factory muffler through a factory pipe segment, the method comprising the steps of:
a. detaching and removing from the motor vehicle the factory catalytic converter and the factory pipe segment;
b. positioning a replacement catalytic converter within the exhaust flow path between the engine and the factory muffler;
c. positioning a replacement pipe segment within the exhaust flow path between the replacement catalytic converter and the factory muffler, connecting the upstream end of the replacement pipe segment to the downstream end of the replacement catalytic converter and arranged for tightening to connect the replacement pipe segment to the factory muffler to form a gas-tight seal therebetween.
