it's too late for this muffler removal, but for others that may want to swap out muffler, there's lots of thread on this topic,
and here's my rendition for removal without taking the bumper off
1) remove the two u-tubes
2) remove the lower muffler hanger.. the little round wire
3) remove the two nuts holding the muffler (plate)
4) push the plate towards the bumper to clear the two bolts.. the muffler should just drop out
