Muffler Tip Broken
The tip of my muffler broke off today. Is it okay to drive without the tip? What are my options for repair?

Thank you!

The pic doesn't work for me but I assume you mean the rear-most tip which is actually attached to the resonator. Mine did the same thing, the resonator is pretty cheap at Rockauto. It connects to the muffler pipe with a flange right above the rear axle. You can grind off the bolts and attach a new resonator. Issues with no tip may be exhaust seeping into the rear plus heated gasses melting your plastics back there. Is it a big deal? Probably not but I didn't like smelling fumes.

Perfect opportunity to do a side exit. Your lungs will thank you for it

Can I buy one of those universal tips and clamp it over the end of the resonator?

just go to a muffler shop. Have um whack off the resonator and weld a L shaped piece of tubing so that the exhaust exits behind the rear wheel. This way the fumes dont come into the cabin if you drive with the rear window down and it will improve your rear enter/exit angle meaning youll have less chance of tearing it off when off roading

Sounds like yours broke off differently than mine. Mine broke at the canister so no way to clamp on a piece.

Does anyone know the diameter of the resonator that a tip would clamp to? Is it 2.5" ?

the pipe OD is 2-3/8", i bought a 2-1/2 OD pipe which had the perfect 2-3/8 ID, i cut 2 slits on the side to help it expand just a little bit for a very tight fit.

Many options to fix. The real issue is that the pipe is likely rusted in other places.
