Just ordered some stuff from hottexhaust.com. Now I need to have it put on and it will all be Magnaflow. Local muffler shop said he would charge $80 to put it in with 2.5in pipeing, from the s-pipe to the axle. I just hope that the res will fit without any rattling. :pray:
I have mmw header, injen sri, magnaflow axle back

Custom exhaust is a great bang for the buck. Looks like your setup will be just over $200 installed for an s-pipe back. I used to have a magnaflow custom exhaust. It was alright, just a little quiet for me. Not to mention the shop put it together very sloppily so it was rattling. Congrats dude.

Yeah have had problems with exhaust shops also, a good welder is priceless! Hope they do good work for you.

That 6" resonator might be a tight fit, make sure they weld it in with at least 1" clearance to everything around it - especially for the floor brace that's bolted under the midpipe. The exhaust system expands when heated and if it touches anything else you'll feel it rattling your whole car, especially at idle.
