Default 14829 piping

Today i got my magnaflow 14289's and i was about to take my car to the local muffler place. ....then i realized that there was no way they would fit on my stock piping. I had read about how awesome they sound..but i had never paid attention to much else. So, here i am with two brand new mufflers just waiting to be put on.... Can someome give me suggestions on some somewhat inexpensive piping?

thanks.

the people who put magnaflows onto their cars get custom catbacks done by a muffler shop. they dont use the stock piping. there are no piping kits, everything is done custom

umm it will vary from shop to shop, also depending on what material (aluminized, stainless, etc), whether you want crush or mandrel bent piping. run a search for "exhaust piping" and you will get a lot of info. for pricing just call up a local shop, doens't hurt to ask
