i had one shop do a 2.5" cat-back pipe to the stock muffler for $100. then later on i had a transversal Magnaflow muffler installed for like $240 or $260 and they took off my 3rd cat for me too. since then i put my 3rd cat back on (stupid move on my part) but i'm thinking about taking the cat back off lol i have a clip of when i first got it done but this was like right after i got it done and it sounds that loud with the cat ON now days. but heres a vid, not the greatest vid cuz my friend didn't know how to use the cam but ya

Go to the drivetrain, tuning, and exhaust section...there is a thread with all of the exhausts people have with their different looks/sounds...

Yea that makes sense. I wont be paying full price either. My buddy has a hook up at borla and is getting me that system for $400.

And unfortunetly no he can't hook anyone else up, I allready asked and he said it would be a one time thing.

i couldn't find the measuring tape so i had to do it the old fashioned way with a ruler and mark a line lol it came out to like 17 1/2" to 18". so id just say about a foot and a half wide. it's a lot smaller and lighter then the stock muffler. and no i couldn't use the stock tips because the stock tips on the 3.5se are only 2" diameter or something like that and its pointless to get a 2.5" exhaust and have (2) 2.5" pipes exit the muffler and then get restricted into 2.0" at the tips. right now i have no tips, just painted the pipe black and it looks like i have black tips. ill get tips after i do something to the back bumper..... let me know if you need to know any other measurements besides the width

i hate to make you go measure again but could you grab the height and width of it as well. im looking into a borla its 19inches long so roughly the same as yours just want to make sure it will fit. i dont get my car till wed and i want to order it before then

Yes, 3.5 and 2.5 exhaust is the same from axle back so it will fit. It will be somewhat quieter than on a 3.5 though because we have an extra muffler right after the cat if I'm not mistaken.

ya you guys have a resonator after the cat, you can take off the resonator if you want but it'll make it a little more raspy
