Default Exhaust parts in...

Got my mufflers, Y pipe, hangers, and V Band clamps all in 304 stainless. Just waiting for the 3in tubing to show and we will get started on the midpipe back part of the exhaust. Hopefully these will sound good, if not gonna get some HKS Carbon Ti instead.

Those should look pretty good. Make sure you give them a bit of an angle though. I think it looks better than straight out.

They are just cheap ebay mufflers.
4in tip with a bit of titanium coloring on the end

I plan on straightening the exhaust tubing as much as possible so the mufflers will be coming out at an angle.

not trying to scare you or anything, but be very careful with those mufflers when washing your car..I had the same exact ones, never sprayed directly into the muffler, and they rusted soo bad they fell apart from the inside..may have had to do with the high humidity here in south TX too, but just giving you a heads up..but for less than $80 you cant beat it

They do sound good though..I have a clip of my old ones..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbfbnoZwNG4

Sounds good!!!
Yea I dont expect too much from them for the cost. I just wanted to throw something on for the time being. I am pretty sure I will be using some HKS Carbon Ti's down the road once my complete swap is done. Everything else will be laid out so changing out the mufflers wont be too difficult.

I just wanted to give you a heads up. They do sound good, especially at WOT..I had no droning, they didnt have a raspy sound to them at all..and if you are in a low humidity area and just careful when you wash the rear of your car, they should last a long time..
