So the guy at my local muffler shop told me he will charge me 225 each to instal some knock off series 10 mufflers but if i was able to get my hands on some real ones by Monday he will install them for 60 each

My question is it 2.5" to 2.5 straight?

Since these mufflers are chambered I would steer clear of them. Force induction motors want as little back pressure as possible. I would look for a good straight through muffler like a Magnaflow.

 

[Dwp87r]

Does the inlet outlet made as you know im not very good at cars my first time.

 

[Dwp87r]

Something like a magnaflow something like this or no? https://www.amazon.com/MagnaFlow-Ex...utomotive&sprefix=magna,automotive,181&sr=1-3

I take it you are removing your stock mufflers? I would look to get a Magnaflow around the same size and shape of your stock muffler.

Yes removing stock mufflers for something that sounds better i also want to do everything you guys did with your cars the tune and all that. Its just im a kid with decent money and this is my first time modding a car. so far all i have did is cosmetic stuff. is the factory style 2.5 center outlet to 2.5 offset inlet?

Since you are new, I would read the first couple of posts in this thread before throwing money into your SHO.

I dont have that info off the top of my head. Is your SHO near you. Mine is 30 miles away right now.

Think VERY carefully about this. It will limit who is willing to tune your car. For a street car, there are much better things you could do and keep your tuner options open. Keep an eye out for a used set of catted pipes if the cost is the issue.

I agree. A good pair of catted DP's will perform just as well as a un-catted set up.

Even though it seems to be a popular choice, and shouldn't be illegal, isn't it "technically" illegal to remove the 3rd cat as well?

It is. By law you aren't suppose to modify any smog equipment on a vehicle. But what fun is that?

What you decide to do with your vehicle is between you and God (and the local law enforcement) but by federal law tuners cannot modify any emmisions compliance monitoring equipment on the car. The 3rd cat isn't monitored by this so we don't care, but many tuners are really getting to where if you even MENTION cat deletes they won't tune you because they don't want any record of them having any dealings with customers with modified exhaust.

At the moment we will still tune for the performance aspects and fueling, but cannot and will not modify or remove any emissions monitor equipment sensors.

I’ve had catless downpipes since 2017. Still going strong
