Default New muffler pics

I have added two Dynomax turbo mufflers about 4 months ago to my current setup. I just wanted to share some pics. I now have the perfect exhaust note I want. It has a smooth very deep tone that is mild but beefy at idle. It sounds like an exotic beast at WOT. My low-end torque seems somewhat reduced (not by much) but it more than makes up for it in the 3-6k band (quite noticable) . Overall, it seems as if my car is a bit quicker and my gas mileage is up maybe 1-2 mpg on the highway (@75-80mph on my way to work, I used to get 22.5-23 mpg during a week averaging of driving about 600 miles. I get between 23.5-25 now). Now...I am a happy man but not done yet. I still have to install a Auto Supra TT rear end, TT sways, coilovers, new LCA's, and wheels/tires .

Here are the pics...

Nice set-up...... Are those the tips that came with the mufflers?

The tips are Ractive Black Chrome tips (look great when they're clean). They were just welded on the Dynomax mufflers. The Ultra Flo I think has tips but these didn't. They were roughly $50-60 each.
