Default Magnaflow mufflers

I'm thinking about buying these mufflers off ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Magna...QQcmdZViewItem) They are Magnaflows 5x8 Muffler 2.25"Inlet 4"Tip 14" body 14829.

I was wondering if any type of fabrication and or modifications will be needed if i am keeping the stock exhaust pipes.

There are quite a few members on this forum that run these same mufflers. I suggest searching to find answers

You will remove you're stock mufflers and a custom pipe will have to be made to attach the Magnaflow to you're current exhaust. Easy as that.

As far as I know, Magnaflow does not offer a full cat-back set up for our SC's.
Any muffler shop can replace your stock units with these and still retain the stock piping and so forth.
Plenty of members here buy a pair of these universal mufflers and fab up their own system. I had these 2 mufflers with 2.25 inch piping from the 3rd cat/resonator back on my old ride(sc400).
Here's a pic of my old set-up for reference...
Hope this helps

I have a guy at a local shop who can get me these mufflers for about 160 for a pair. He would probably do the mounting job for around 30-40ish. Give or take 10 bucks. So you're looking *if you can get a deal like that* between 180-200 bucks for everything mufflers included.

Jewcano is right,
Most muffler shops will charge between 30-50 bucks for installing the mufflers.

I bought my mufflers from the Performance Peddler...The 14829's go for $91 bucks a piece....check them out, shipping is free and it arrives like in 2 days

actually man the price has gone up... 121 now

so definitely if the shops will charge only 30-50 ill go ahead and do that... do you by chance have any sound clips with these mufflers and stock exhaust?

Hey guys, before you buy try www.hottexhaust.com with code "BRYP15", great price and free shipping! I have a 14829 on my RX300 and love it.

Not an SC but it's just another pic of the actual muffler itself.
