OHh I was hoping you did because imagine having that muffler laying there teasing the hell out of you with no brackets to install with would be pure torture

how do you like the sounds, I must say I couldn't wait to turn my car on after the install when I did it.

yea it would have been a bad tease if i didn't have the bracket. I actually left work 2 hrs early to pick up the muffler at the post office and had 3 layers of clothes on during the install cause it was like 20 degrees here.

Sounds awesome, I already had a cpe midpipe installed and installed the HR y pipe over the wknd and installed the HKS last nite. I actually let me buddy take it around the corner 1st cause i wanted to hear what it sounded like outside.

Yeah on the box, that should have been an extra $15.

Loved the HKS but (don't laugh or hate) it was just too loud. I'm one of the grandpas on this board and figured out after 6 months with the muffler I liked the car a lot better quiet. I put the sedan mid on with the HKS maybe thinking that would do the trick, but it was still too loud.

So now I'm running the stock muffler with the coupe mid and it's perfect.

Johnnyone, glad you like it!!

IIRC, you and I are, uh, Men of a Certain Age. Which is why I asked. I got rid of my Stillen cuz it was too loud, don't want to make the same mistake again.

I was looking for Tony's MagnaFlow to have a true dual flow through (since Stillen's isn't)... interested in seeing if performance is enhanced...

If someone was looking to buy his to quiet their exhaust they better hurry up before I get it ~

I too got rid of the HKS because the drone during highway miles was a bit too much. Now I got a DD, kinda miss it.

I dunno. I don't remember it being anything special. Wasn't it just a cat back or just some single exhaust system?

I'd need a 2 in / 2 out unit. Since the Borla version droned like no tomorrow, I was thinking of using a magn resonated X. did a good job on the drone up front so why not another one out back? Klubbs used to have this setup I think
