depending on what kind of muffler you have/made
make a small hole in the muffler part, and use a microskrew and remove your motor and put the skrew through one of the holes in the bottom rear, and then skrew your exhaust on...
i have an exhaust/muffler that is made out of pen/gel pen tubing..so it was easy to install

mine came with a whole in it specifically made for a screw  check out toys 'r' us or target for a toy car called "Modifiers" but make sure you get a Series 2 1/43 scale.. not the Series 1 1/64 scale. the series 2 comes with replacement mufflers for the car. i just used one of them.. granted i bought this toy before i even knew about the mini r/c world, so i didn't buy it specifically for the muffler.

thats exactly what i did. i glued the muffler to the body instead of the chasis of the car. this is better because not all the cars have mufflers on the same side. placement of the muffler on the chasis looks sorta off cuz the body is higher up. if you search for mufflers under my SN you'll find some pics of how it looks.

OK thanks guys. Im probably just gonna glue it because i got my muffler out of a model set and its small and plastic so it would be pretty hard to screw it in, and also what ghosstryda said. Ill post pics of my skyline soon, i hope lol.

IMO, its better to use model glue/cement. super glue dries too quickly....

I glued the muffler (pen nib) to the body, look how it turned out. At least it looks better than before!
