Default Muffler Install Question

Just got the Magnaflow Mufflers w/tips, 14829's and everything looks good.

But where can I get the pipe shown below. The current one is welded onto the old muffer, or will the shop just weld it off onto the new muffler?

Also for people with this muffler did you keep the resonator?

Thanks

Yea it only comes with the muffler w/tips, no extra piece of pipe.

Hey man,

They will bend a piece of pipe for you at the muffler shop. That is a pretty simple shape so they can do it. I would suggest getting mandrel bent though as crush bending will lose flow.
