Muffler and exhaust system replacement.?

I have a 79 Ford Ranchero with a 351 Cleveland engine, the exhaust is cut right at the middle of the car where the bed of the truck is.My question is, can i just buy come glass packs and piping at auto zone and use that ?Or if i went to a salvage yard could i just cut an exhaust out of a vehicle and make it work?The way it is now it‘s way too loud.

Answer:

whether you believe it or not.you have anti lock brake,s.with at least one bad wheel sensor.have the sensor,s checked.
extremely tough task. check out at a search engine. this can help!
If u can weld or have a buddy who can and he has a tourch (to put bends in if needed) buy some thrush turbos or flow-pro there cheap and sounds pree good if you got some money to put in buy flow master 44 or if u want loud not like straight pipe at all but loud go super series
I would take the vehicle to a local muffler shop. Ask your mechanic for a referral to a good but cheap shop. Most of the crap in local stores is cheap Chinese made mufflers. they rust from the inside out from condensation and fall apart in six months and start rattling enough to drive you crazy. there needs to be a certain amount of exhaust pipe and then a catalytic converter and a muffler. buying rusted old crap at a junkyard is not a good way to go. That dipstick answer from alex is from a guy who has never had rust and dirt fall in his eyes under a junkyard car. Bring some good safety goggles if you just have to go buy junkyard rust buckets. All the pipe should be welded to prevent leaks.And ideally you want the exhaust routed over the axle and farther back good luck
