nice install, but you should of gotten real muffler tips.
Looks like they just used normal pipe and cut it w/ a chop saw at an angle for the tips. Take a file and clean up that edge. You have some metal bur on there which can lead u to cut your skin when you wash the car or cut open anything w/ that sharp edge.
You can see it in the pic.

Thanks. The original total was $246 but the shop had to custom make that Y so it brought it up to $321.00 that's not including the mufflers. I know I couldas saved like $20 a muffler if i woulda bought em off ebay but i wanted that done right then and there.
No benefits to dual muffs. actually makes the car lil bit heavier. the 40's just sound better than the 80 series imo.
The best way to do the exhaust on our cars though is mandrel bent pipes into 1 single in/single out or transverse if u want duals.

is that all you got tho was the mufflers?? cause damm that sounds decent I might go with some flowmaster's when I get the chance, but since I'm getting the OSV kit I need some option on what to get. I'll form a thread later on...

i've noticed tho that the single in dual out muffler setup sounds a bit raspy more than the y-piping to dual mufflers... the dual mufflers sound actually much better

less air volume going to each muffler, quieter sound

now if i do that instead of the 1-into-2 setup that is usually done... there would be no difference on performance.. just added weight and prob better looking
