they sound pretty good, louder with these tips then the orignal magnaflows. I will take side pics later today, Megas have offset outlet and the body of the muffler is pintched and bigger. unfortenatly i couldnt find anything like it universal so i decided to reuse the magnaflows instead of throwing them away.

If you don't mind me asking, what did this set up cost you? I'm in the market and...sort of local I wouldn't mind having a similar custom exhaust.
