Exhaust pieces on a Sunday????????

Hey guys, I'm trying to piece together a different exhaust for towing. Going camping soon and don't want to listen to the stack. I think I can make it work with a piece of 4" straight and a 90. Heres the kicker my only time to do it is Sunday and don't know where to go in Edmonton. Would usaully go to Greggs but there closed. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Its 4" into a straight through Magna-Flow muffler into a single 6" stack. Its not very loud at all unloaded but towing a 7000# trailer its almost unlivable. I just want to dump it after the muffler when towing then use the stack when empty.

1st Truck Centre (Freightliner) is open 24/7 on the west end, 170th st. I work for the Lloyd branch. Not sure if they will have 4" as most semi is 5", but never know, give them a call, might get lucky.

Thanks guys, just finished with some backyard engineering. Got lucky and my pipes came apart, reversed the 90 that went to the bed and pointed it at the ground. Looks very stupid but is noticiably quieter. Going to Jasper next weekend....................I guess we'll see, should keep the suit off the thing.

I can't remember if you have 4 inch exhaust to a 5 inch stack or was it a 6 inch stack??I installed some sort of BD muffler which knocked out at least 75% of the noise when towing...It was nuts when it was a straight pipe..

I've got some flex and hardpipe in the garage that I'm not likely to ever use. if you want to reengineer later.

4" into 6" Yeah towing without a muffler lasted one trip. It was kind of nice not hearing the women yabering on but when my ears wouldn't stop ringing and the chihauhau woldn't come because she suffered hearing damage, I had to put a muffler in.
