so no body has head of the kool vue mufflers. looking for something that's lighter but doesn;t sound ricey and isn't to expensive. thought about using some cb turbo mufflers but those are more for trucks

Pretty sure I have the exact same ones in a 3" size on my SC400. They way they're mounted on mine, you can't see where it says 'magnaflow' on the tip. Got it done at a local shop for $150 including tips themselves and also cutting, bending, and welding 2 new pieces to make them sit closer to the bumper than the factory exits.

Here's mine for reference - You could probably go with 4" tips but 5" will likely be too big for the factory cut-outs.

I know someone on here has cut tips off of some aftermarket muffler and welded on new larger tips to resemble the 5zigen fireballs.

That's really funny....

OP, have you thought about S2000 tips? A few SCs are running with those and they look absolutely amazing.... Although I am not sure how to go about sourcing just the S2k tips (maybe call a Honda dealership?)

Good luck. Definitely a good idea since not everyone wants a loud exhaust and that's understandable. The only person who would laugh is an ignorant moron, and you shouldn't pay attention to that type of folk anyway.

i stand corrected.. i have thought about tips before while standing in the exhaust section in a parts house. but i assumed the performance hounds would start barking rice at me. fail.. assumptions aside it is a visual upgrade though i have always liked the angle cut on the stock tips. in for the before afters.

measured this mourning right after the Q was asked. just barely 3 5/8" if i can find a replacement muffler that doesn't look like a huge cannon im gonna cut off my tips and weld them to the new mufflers. i keep looking at flowmasters and magnaflow's but everybody has them but i've got 2 cherry bomb turbo's i keep thinking about using to replace the stocks.
