Installing MagnaFlows (99 GS400)

So I recently ordered Magnaflow mufflers with tips, with the following dimensions;
They are the 14827 model
2.25" inlet
The tip is,
4" diam.
angle cut
7" length
Will they clear? Any rubbing points I should be aware of? Any problems?
Would like to know if anyone in Central NJ would be willing to help me set these up? I have no idea of what I would be doing, or should be doing.
Payment:
a 6 pack, and lunch![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Youre going to need to unbolt the factory mufflers, cut off the length of piping that has the flange attached to it and then weld it back on to the inlet section of the muffler. Measurements can be tricky, i'd honestly suggest a muffler shop, they'll weld them in for just a few bucks.

Return the 6 pack to the grocery store and take that money to a muffler shop and have them weld it up for you.

I honestly think you should have the system welded. I've had a SLP exhaust on my Cobra before and it used clamps. After the first week or so, it would get loose from all the vibration from all those WOT runs. I would have to re-tighten them over and over. Especially the ones for the exhaust tips. Sometimes they would rotate, sometimes they would extend. I was scared the tip might fall off on the freeway.

I'm just thinking, why do many domestic with aftermarket exhaust would clamp while most of the imports have welds? (I'm also talking about exhaust kits I sometimes see, most imports if not all have flanges to them, while sometimes I still see clamps for domestics???)
Also, your car's a Lexus, do it right.
