If you get the muffler in for now, I'd look for some o' them. That way you don't end up with just some crappy U Bolts, or welds you'll have to try and cut later without trashing the new muffler.

I might just get a cheap turbo muffler. Would getting a 3 inch muffler be ok being tubo mufflers dont have much flow???? I am looking at a Summit racing turbo muffler that is suppost to have gains of 21 hp at 5600 rpm. I had a dynomax turbo on my van and it didn't have much more flow than stock. I was wondering if it would be better to go with the 3 inch to get better flow or do you think I should stick with the stock 2 1/2? I still might wait and get the flowmaster in feb. I am not sure. I will be ordering my trans cooler or muffler friday. So I still have time to decide.

i hope this helps you a little.
first of all, our tubing on the exhaust is stainless alloy. it gets surface rust and thats all. now the muller is another story. get a F body[camaro] muffler and have them cut your * off and weld it on. while you are at it, get yourself a high flow cat and have them do the same .
our pipes are mandrel bent already , so why get rid of them?

The magnaflow i heard is to rough for my liking personally. The flowmasters were very smooth and mellow. If you want to compare our videos here ya go...

I think Aviator, Bonnie94sse, Hailey, Tamara and Drifter (I think thats it) will all agree that my car sounds anything but rough with the dual Magnaflows...I guess I will have to hear FlowMaster and comparo
