That can looks HUGE! How much ground clearance is there?
Is your xB dropped? and if so, how much?

Actually there is plenty of clearance, i will be dropping my car tomorow, so well see what happens, the tip of the muffler is offset so must of the muffler is hidden. The sound is very mellow not ricey. i have a few other muffler options available too.

So, I take it you removed the resonator? I was going to go to a local shop tomorrow to see if they could whip me up something custom. I like that look. I might have to buy a can and have my local shop make the piping. Looks great!

I havent removed the midpipe we ran out of time, i was going to try a few differnt smaller resonators until i like the sound but as far as the rear section, i have enough to make 8 kits with mouning hardware for around 250 picked up wich is cheep because greddy charged 400 for theres for the first gen xb. Im also looking in to getting the kits mandrel bent wich might make it go up a little in price.

Not to offend but with it pointed out all crooked looks stupid to me. Even if it sounds good it doesnt look right at all..it looks RICEY. Straight out looks better to me but I wouldnt use a can style either cause those just look RICEY to me. To each his own tho...good luck.

Thanks for your input...ive had some people like it and some dont, i have other muffler options im working on as well wich are smaller. this was just the first mock up, and if you read my origional post, i also stated that i can make them straight or turned out as well, it all depending on what the buyer wants. Im also working on a mid pipe to replace the huge resonator.

need to get rid of these muffers, 120.00 plus shipping or you can pick up in covina, there extremely nice, retail for over 300 just for the muffler, the tip is offset so most of the muffler fits behind the bumper. (these are just the muffler if you local i have a shop that can fit them for 80.00, wich includes flanges, gaskets and hangers.)

Nice vid clip, but is it me, or does it look like a different exhaust in the video? The one in the pics look really shinny and clean. Where as in the video it doesnt even look like the same shape of the greddy tip or the can/muffler. my be im trippen
