Here it is again, the exhaust retails for around $900. Pretty sure you can get it for $700 free shipping on EBay if you need hard enough, full catback.

Ok finally got it from UPS. My local Muffler shop did the install.
Was worried at first because the actual exhaust pipe is 3" and the Magnaflow inlet is 2.25"
Looking closer at the OEM exhaust it reduces to 2.25" or so. So they made their own reducer to make it fit.
Turned it on.
At first it sounded all ricer to me. Wasn't really liking it. I drove off thinking I'm probably gonna have to go back to stock. But as I kept driving it seemed to "loosen" up. Didn't sound so bottled up.
Turned the car off, then back on after about a 20min drive and finally heard the sound I was looking for. A nice sport touring sound I wanted.
From 1200-2000 RPM there is some drone under acceleration. As soon as you coast there is hardly any sound which is great for those long road trips.
I'm now wondering, what if I had just done a 3"in/3" out muffler and had that plugged in without having to reduce it to 2.25"????

thanks man... im starting to get use to the tone.
Im still considering getting rid of this muffler and going with a 3"in 3" out single muffler and doing the dual tip outlet.
Not sure if going down from the 3" OEM pipe to 2.25" on this maglaflow might be choking it up a bit. I know a lot of you guys are running this exact muffler though
