Default Pissed! Magnaflow wont fit according to....

So I found a good priced shop to install the Magnaflow mufflers w/tips and guess what the dumbass tells me their is no way in hell they will fit since both ends are offset. I told him that friends who also have GS's have them on and there's a way. So then he suggest cutting a big hole in the rear bumber. I got the car and got the hell out of there.

I am really getting tired of the shops here with their high *** prices and crappy service. First off this is possilbe correct since "Lexis11 " has them on. I am so close to just trying to do this myself.

What do you guys think and what is required for this mufflers to be installed.

tell them not to worry about that... its not an issue. I ran magnaflows for about 2 months while I waited for my JIC set up, and it fit fine.

Yea but they think their is no way so that means I have to find another shop who has some way to make them fit. Wish there was a install guide...

Hey man,

As soon as I get my GS I will bring it to my guy and get him to install the mufflers. Unfortunately until then I have no experience with the mufflers on a GS so I can't help.

Good luck,
Jonny

Yea thanks, like I said I need to find measurments, pics, or a guide so I could show the shops what needs to be done or try to do it myself. The search for a good shop continues....

Let me ask this question, Bucky's want to cut where I placed the yellow line, make a new pipe to the new muffers, but what about the connection in front if it, what about the gasket???

Thanks

Look, i just did mine and offset offset is the correct design.
All you have to do is tell them to cut it off RIGHT after the flange and bend pipe from the flange to the muffler.That way you can still unbolt it if you need to.

Dont worry the resonators are further under the car than your yellow lines.
Anything under a 100 bucks is fair.
