Default Muffler q.

ok I think I've found the one I'm getting. I just want to make sure, do I have to take it to a mechanic to have them put it on? for some reason I though you could bolt them on, but is there welding done? And about how much would it cost (I know it will vary) but roughly, for a muffler to be installed? Thank you guys!

ok thanks alot, that is good news, but the bad news is that the muffler I was going to get isn't held anymore where I found it. I can't find it anywhere else anyway, and was wondering what I should look into, nothing real expensive, I dont want the whole system, just the muffler itslef, and I'm not looking to boost Horsepower +50 or nothing, (exaggerating I know) I just want to have some noise coming from my car, so you can hear it, then look, cause right now it's a mosquitto. Thanks guys, Remember, I dont want to spend alot of money!

To me those are all very Cheap mufflers. I got this muffler on my Si and it sounds GREAT. Magnaflow stainless steel mirror finish ( street series) Race series a little more louder. Nice deep sound NOT 2 loud. I been buying Maganflow for the past 6 years. E-bay sell them cheaper than my LOCAL muffler shops. If you don't have an acct. ask a friend who has one.

I got mine from my local shop for 180 installed but that was 2 1/2 yrs ago. Now it's almost 250 out the door. You can make them an offer on E-bay but don't go tho cheap. They are already giving out a good deal. Try to lower it by 15 dollars or so + they included FREE SHIPPING can't beat that. Let me know [&:]

ok one more question, along with the other questions. I've been looking, and found that some have different inlet sized holes, from 2 1/4 - 2 3/4. Is the size going to matter? Will I be able to pick any size and they are welding it on anyway? or what? Thanks!

Just go with the 2/14. it's cheaper also no need for the 2 3/4
