OK - I got the magnaflows installed. I ended up running dual 2.5" pipe from after the cats, custom X pipe, removed the 3rd cat and all resonators, dual all the way back to my 2 Magnaflow 14829's. I paid the extra money to have the pipes mandrel bent instead of regular. This is supposed to help airflow immensely.
I ended up paying $280 for the install and $190 or so for the mufflers.
I honestly could not be any happier with the work. As soon as I can get my car on a lift I will take some pictures of the exceptional work.
The car sounds incredible!! I felt a huge difference when I drove it. Stomped on the gas and my head went flying back!!
Y'all want pics and video huh!!

I highly recommend this to any SC4 owners.

In all honesty, the difference was a lot more than I ever expected. On my last SC4, I had the same dual setup, but they were not mandrel bends and I stuck with the stock mufflers. I thought I liked that sound.
Until this

I would do it again in a heartbeat, definitely worth every penny! It looks incredible, and the sound -

I think it sounds more like an exotic sportscar now than anything else. I would hate to try and guess the HP increase, so I won't

As soon as Josh (Senator) can get some free time I will get him to record the car for me with my camera while I give her some juice!!

If we have them in Tulsa, Oklahoma - you gotta have them in LA!!!
Look in the yellow pages for mandrel piping and maybe someone there might be able to point you in the right direction.
IMHO, I would hold off until you can find someone who does it. Worth the wait!!
