i have searched sites and found how to drill out the 99 and newer ventures. i was gunna try that but thanks to another member on the forum{sorry i dont remember the name} i found that it is not possible to do it like i have seen. i have a 1984 venture with the cones on the end. the pic i saw on the others didnt have the pipe stick out so i guess it didnt have cones. so i would like to know the best way to do this. thanks very much

I pulled the mufflers off my 86 and on the back side I used a grinder with a cutting blade to cut a door, bent it back and cleaned the muffler out. I bent the flap back down and welded up. You can't see it from the front side. There are some tack welds you will have to drill out and weld up on the back of the muffler. Be careful if you use a torch. The first time I did it I got the chrome too hot and it turned blue. It sounds great to me.
