Midas did a great job for me, if you know the Firestone guys use them. Make sure they are careful with the rear hangers. They shouldn't be visible, like this...

I am gonna look for a local Midas thanks. Maybe a friend modder out here has hook ups

I hate to keep asking questions but I gather some one will fin this thread and get the info they need like me

- I need a new/used flange.
- To cut and shorten the forward hanger to move the wider Magnaflow over to keep it
off the spare.
- To remove the tow hook on that side to get extra room.
- 60 bucks hopefully but maybe not depending on the shop and workers.

Any of this work done going to be a problem when or if the stock muffler needs to go back on?

Thanks again. I am test fitting the new rear lip and will see how much room I have to play with when I install the Muffler.

They cut the existing flange and used that, I guess you could buy a new one should you decide to go back to stock but they could just weld the original back on even if they needed to section in a piece of pipe.

Cutting the forward hanger was their solution to the problem of the magnaflow being wider than stock, your guys may have a better idea. The tow hook is two bolts.

Price, I don't know about CA. There is nothing on this install a good muffler shop hasn't seen a 1000 times before, the only thing I would ask for specifically is that the rear hangers be welded to the top, not the back or sides. It's more work for them but they know it looks better.

Good I will keep this stuff in mind when going into the Midas shop Tues

How long did it take? 1-2hrs?

Carver

About an hour as I recall.

Thanks! Thus is going to really help whe I drive into Midas informed . Out here so many con artists. Freaken American tires told me $159 was a discount on a premium alignment. Lol.

Congrats! great car. I love it. If you get yours installed before I do please share your experience and how it differed from Carver's.

PS: I think Magnaflow owes you a little commission Carver

infinirx, I'm in CA (SF) and know a guy but haven't had a chance to talk to him yet; will try today late afternoon. His shop deals with mods all the time so I'll prep your questions to him and hopefully come back with useful info tonight.

Edit: Sorry I wasn't able to make it to the shop on time last evening. Hope your install went well today, Tuesday.

Soooooooooo the Midas in my area told me they are not allowed to do it cause it's a custom part and they could get sued. I call big BS cause they would have done it if I had bought the muffler from them. but oh well. On to a new search.

fffffffffffffffffffff them! Pigs **** Midas.

infinirx

Nah it's all good. I think Carver got a Midas that is a bit more lax about these things. Maybe cause some Midas shops are privately owned that some can differ. Couple of my friends are helping me out with a place.

Carver

Too bad, the boys here never batted an eye, just ran that thing up on the lift and started mufflerin'.

infinirx

It's all good. I expected them in a way to try and boost the price up as much as they could. There was one guy at the shop and three cars. Not a very good location
