I got it from some company I found off eBay. I think they are called Speedy Dynamic. They
look really nice. They only negative thing is they rotors are really lound when I slam on
the brakes. Really loud.

are you just adding the mufflers or the entire thing?

I can get the mufflers pretty cheap from Allied exhaust or bigexhaust, is it worth it just to put on the new mufflers?
