It looks great. I think it looks even better than the HKS, Greddy, LMS or the Tanabe setups. Nice and flush with the rear bumper, tips not overly large. Great job!

Well, I picked up some magnaflow 4" Slant cut tips, 4.5" long and 2.25" inlet.

I wonder how much a shop would charge to weld it on?

This is a great deal, but I Was wondering why the pricing you gave was a lot cheaper than the pricing on the magnaflow site? For example, you site 90 bucks per muffler while the link cites 153; two mufflers alone would cost 300, or am I missing something?

Nice GNN. I did the exact same thing (oval tips though) about a month ago.

The magnaflows with stock intake it felt a bit torqier, and sounded good. Then I added a K&N typhoon intake and performance was the same, but the sound was awesome.

When you step on it, it is pure muscle sounding. And when on the freeway it is smooth and low level noise.

Paid $265 parts and labor at a shop in Hawthorne.

I prefer a deeper sound than the G35. Can you suggest another model that might produce a sound like that?

I would say the set up I am using is similar to the G35, however it is deeper-

I now have over 2000 miles on my set up and Im still very happy-

Thanks!
