guys, i got my car out of the shop, the muffler is not a straight through design so i thought it would be quieter but its only a little bit quieter. the good thing is, it doesnt drone as much inside the car :-) i have a twin straight cut 3" tip on it. looks aight.
the shop charged me $282.90 for an this which is basically a press bent axle back exhaust of mild steel with a generic muffler and tip.
i think thats expensive, anyone else think so?
heck of alot cheaper than genuine parts....
I can't believe you guys are having trouble getting your cars to be legal noise with aftermarket exhausts. A 2.5-3" exhaust with intermediate muffler and or resonator and a good quality rear muffler should have no problems - and flow well also. if you can't pass with a good quality rear muffler like the hyper medalion then maybe a good mandrel bent intermediate muffler as well will improve things...
it all depends where you go..
but you should have been able to almost pull a catback with that price
viperx, i think that was the price for a cat-back system. Pretty good if thats the case!
I just had the hole in my exhaust welded over... $49 which is a bargain for the absolute silence i have now :D
Cam, if you ever get sick of the exhaust, you should weld a stock muffler on to that system - i think there is nothing quite like watching modified cars get beaten by stock sounding cars!!!
the price was for axle back exhaust only. anyway, i was thinking about putting back on the stock muffler but i picked it up and shook it only to hear was sounded like sand rattling around in it and remembered when i first took it off the car it used to have a bit of a tinny sound somewhere in the rev range.Quote:

( my mates travelling behind me with the tanabe would complain that their head lights would reflect off the muffler and blind them lol)
