I loved the sound of the flat black Vibrant 3"in/out muffler I had on my turbo'd Civic. The design is probably a copy of the Magnaflow, which will sound great too.

^Are you sure they installed Magnaflow mufflers? Those look off-brand to me. Here's what a Magnaflow muffler looks like :

Nope, the mufflers are mounted opposite of each other. A logo should show on one. And, I believe Magnaflow puts their logo on both sides.

My bad I didn't read the first post I was too busy looking at pics and video. A local shop said he can do mine for $200, basically $75 for each muffler and $50 for labor, can you post a drive by video please.
