Ask member GSoup for the coupon code. It knocks off 10% on top of a 6% sale going on now. Shipping is free. Total cost 224.00 plus install.
Thanks lexmenow! I just placed my order and with the discount + taxes (free shipping), total cost out the door was $254.00!

I can't wait to get them installed in April!

Gotta take off the L-tuned mufflers, shine them up and put them in the classifieds now!

Question for you lexmenow, how much more pipe did you have to buy to join the muffler to the existing piping?

The pic of the muffler shows it as not having any pipe on the end that is joined to the exhaust pipes coming from the engine. What about hangers etc? All those had to be welded on?

My local muffler shop measured pipe so they could match length for welding the tips to the mufflers. I kept my stock mufflers so the shop cut and welded my existing exhaust to the mufflers. They welded hangers, but not like stock.

I hope this helps.

The sound will change a bit as the insulation inside the mufflers burns off a bit. Not detrimental at all, so no need to fret. Had mine since late 04 I believe, and it is not as deep sounding inside of the car as it was new. I had my girlfiend drive my car around my block once since I never heard these magnaflows outside of the car.. All i have to say is wow... It sounds throaty and raspy similar to a C6 Vette You will be happy

Yes, GSoup, lexmenow and I bought different ones because the tip on the one you bought is not centered in the cutout of the bumper.

Part numbers
muffler #14235
tips #35121

Hey Hameed...

I wanted to clear that up for those that were reading and saw different prices in regards to it.

For the record, mine was perfectly centered.

Tuddy & oohpapi44 also have the same muffler. I took them to my muffler guy and they are centered also.

Maybe I said that wrong.

DASHOCKER said that they are off-centred ala Supra style tips. Does that mean anything to you?

I know his mufflers are installed on an angle on purpose. Other than that I guess he would have to chime in and clarify that.

I sure hope I didn't waste my money buying the ones I did and should have just bought the same ones you bought that had tips on already.......
