I agree that this really works, but how about the next time you need to 
replace the muffler? How hard is it to get the length exactly right on the new 
muffler? Clearly you need to weld the new muffler flanges on last, but the 
muffler tubes have to be cut to the right length first. Keep in mind that the 
next muffler will be different, because it's from a different manufacturer, or a 
different production lot, or just because....

How hard is it to get that length right the second time around?

If the flanges fit around the OD of the muffler tube, that makes it easier, as 
you then get some latitude for adjustment. Is that how they fit?
