+1 to that.

A lot comes down to who is capable of welding stainless in your area, it was a struggle for me and I ended up with a shop that exclusively builds tube frames and custom work for offroad vehicles. As such, I spent most of my money on the fabrication itself.

I did luck out and was able to grab my magnaflows way cheap($70 shipped each) through advance auto and a very very nice coupon code I found online.

Thanks for reminding me about advanceauto. They always have a coupon running around. I have a shipyard nearby and I know a person that welds for the shipyard. Do you know what model magnaflow muffler you bought? Theres so many. And was it 2.25 or 2.5 inch inlet and outlet? Thanks

It was model 11235 I believe. 2.25 in/out. People at the lextreme forums have done all kinds of different exhaust setups and found that without some form of forced induction on the UZ motors, anything beyond 2.25" piping will negatively effect performance.

Ok so the original exhaust has 2.25 inlet and outlet? Trying to put together everything. Its gonna come out to about 81 shipped tax included already per muffler. I went with the polished instead of satin. and I have to figure in the tips. I appreciate your help man. Thanks

Just to clarify, I bought the parts but wanted to check that everything will fit. I bought magnaflow mufflers offset/offset 2.25 ID and 2.25 OD. The tips I purchased were 2.25 ID and 4 OD. Should all this work?

Yes, that should work just fine.
