$300? How much did they charge you for the fab work? I had the same exact install done with a different muffler and they only charged me $60.

thats way too much. my buddy has a 96 sc300 and it cost him 325 for two magnaflow mufflers, and full exhaust. the guys made the whole catback exhaust and the y pipe.

i paid 125 for my mufflers and work from that same shot. i dont have magnaflows. i have a more sophisticated looking and sounding version of the typical civic rice can. look good and sound awesome.

Why did he weld the hanger on the front side of the can? You should have had 2 cans...

I was wondering the same thing.

When I was getting exhaust done, ... I had to stop the guy from welding a hanger on the rear part (in plain sight). Looks horrible.

Because right above the hanger is a bolt where the stock hanger was bolted on to. I watched Pablo install it. I also decided to go with a singal because I have read that a singal produces better air flow, plus I will be going NA-t soon.

single 2.5" wont produce enough flow if you go na-t.... you will need to either replace it with like 3.5" if you want to stay with a single exhaust or add a 2.5 section on the other side.

i think 2.5 is enough for Na-t.. depending on how much PSI hes gunna run.. but yea..

since its NA-t hes not gunna go 20Psi soo its gunna be enough.. n also its straight pipe..

but 300 is WAY too much.. u shuold have ditched the muffler and just added a tip..

my exhaust is 156.. and it was piping, tip, and hangers here n there..
