Your factory muffler actually looks like it has a 21" body. So the 24" body magnaflow would be longer than factory. I really think you will like the 18" body over the 24" though.

That sounds rather high for installation of just a muffler.

Midas' monkeys will often make deals on the side during "down time." If you show up when no one is there and have cash (bring 2 20's), you can often make a deal with one of the guys.

Granted, if they screw it up you probably will never get it resolved (as I found out the hard way with some struts). But welding on a muffler is not rocket science, so I say give it a shot if you can't find a shop under $50.

Another option is to make a post for a welder in your area here on YT. Surely somebody could bust it out real quick for you.

ok now that I am kinda used to it...its not TOO loud.

I would of gone with something a little more quieter. but it is nice to have that rumble sound. It is not as dramatic as I have made it seem. Crusing at highway speeds, you cant even hear it unless you get on it. Accelerating, you can hear it...thank god its not a high pitches yelp.

If you think that's bad, you guys should hear my exhaust (glasspack) at WOT and full boost in 2nd gear near redline. My friend says my 4R sounds like an approaching 737 followed by a fury of raw, high-velocity exhaust notes all trying to leave the pipe at the same time.

I love it.

I had talked to Tdiddy and he said he had the 18" 24"overall.

I guess it isnt too bad...im just a baby

All the soundclips sounded the same...I guess the only way to figure which one I like was to actually install it and hear it.
