Abstract: An exhaust stack system for a muffler having an exhaust stub pipe including a self-holding taper on the outer diameter of the exhaust stub pipe. The exhaust stack pipe also has a self-holding taper on the inner diameter of the proximal end so as to matingly connect to the taper on the exhaust stub pipe. Preferably a securing mechanism holds the exhaust stack pipe in proper orientation with the muffler stub pipe. In a preferred embodiment, the securing mechanism further includes a spring clip member. The exhaust stack pipe has a longitudinal slot approximate the taper and the muffler stub pipe has a hole in alignment with the longitudinal slot so that a hooked end of the spring clip can fit through the longitudinal slot and into the hole. In another embodiment, the securing mechanism is a screw through the exhaust stack pipe and the muffler stub pipe.
