What are the case lengths of each muffler? i'm assuming both are 7inch round? are these the diesel mufflers that magnaflow offers?
since they are magnaflow i'm assuming they are using fiberglass packing material (i think this is why they burn up/hollow out after use)?

Rich if you're reading this can you chime in on how long the cases were in aspecs 4inch exhaust??
call me pessimistic but i don't think they will be quiet, but that is subjective

Thumbs up

I will let the engineer know it personally. This guy is more **** than my Senior Drill Instructor from Paris Island. He only wants to do things the right way.

Wow, looks great, but that is going to be really really really loud. I speak from experience.....I recently swapped on an Apexi GT spec catback (3.75 inch) modified to work with my 4 inch dp and resonated mp, and the larger rear muffler made the exhaust more reasonable (before w/a 4 inch magnaflow muffler'ed rear section it was really damn loud). Sounds better too in my opinion.

I dont like to here that Ritch, Sean is making me the same setup this week. You think I should have gone with a differant muffler?

BTW, the above work looks very nice!

The magnaflow cans have proven themself to be very reliable for my center muffler in the past. Thanks for the posting.

The tires you are looking at are my rolling dirties. They are used when the car is in the shop. I have a set of Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +45mm all around with 275/35/18 NITTO INVO.

where did you get your 4" DP and MP? I have an Apexi GT Spec Exhaust too but I'm looking for the 4" setup.

I just made a new brace that replaced the factory unit. It is 100% stainless steel. Since the exhaust is 4" and I had no choice but to make it right.
