I know it seem that way but remember these are custom made mufflers with custom made insides. Remember they are 3 1/2" high X 9 1/2" wide X 13" long. Like I said they don't look like any muffler you have seen before. This is not a muffler you can go into a Performance Shop an buy, they don't have or sell them.

Hey guys I did my own muffler delete yesterday! Sounds like a muscle car with more drone than the US military. Best part is it costs nothing! Just lower your car and bottom out as much as possible on uneven roads etc. /sarcasm

They've got some decent camber wear, but they're only temporary wheels so I'm not worried about it.


Looking forward to seeing how your exhaust turns out!

because these mufflers are custom made they are taking longer just can't go into a performace shop an buy them. but i'm waiting. want to get my car done already, but every thing is getting delayed. soon it will all come together. headlights, tailights, pedals, sprint booster. guess it all take time.

Not happy with the tips or the x-pipe look? I think the tips look good, nice angled cut. They look really similar to mine except I don't have the vents inside (I forget the technical name for it). No one will see the x-pipe so as long as it's durable you should be good to go. It's looks designed well and well made.

you couldn't get a better made tip. the word your your looking for is call (resonated) helps reduce sound but not flow. the X pipe will add Hp when the 2 exhaust meet at the X it causes the exhaust flow to have a tumbling effect and also helps reduce noise an helps for a better flow.

Right, I though it was called a resonator but wasnt sure, with mine I opted out and don't have it. I know all about the x-pipe, I have it on my exhaust too
