these mufflers are ____ty and they dont flow so well. i know cuz i worked at midas and it's midas's performance muffler choice. i hope it's cheap. it wont be crap but it's not the best is all. just dont get a "z" wave .

ther is someone selling tanabe tuner medallion mufflers on ebay for $102 with free shipping

[hotbox05]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
unless it is direct fit i can just about guarantee you that it's a tanabe style universal muffler. i buy em and sell em for alot less that 102 shipped

[jct]

i'm lazy i need direct fit...

[hotbox05]

lol , um if u take it to a shop and have em weld a universal muffler it'll only cost like 40 bucks and u choose any muffler anywhere and it'll take less time 4 them to weld a muff in than for most peeps to bolt a direct fit in.

heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...e=STRK:MEWA:IT

it has a tag that says tanabe. do you think it is a copy or something fake???

ok i retract my previous statement it looks to be authentic tanabe , but all universals are the same , that and if u look at that outer wrap of metal that is riveted into place , that is an annoying rattle just waiting to happen , i've seen it happen two or three times , oh and 80mm is 3 inch so that is a turbo car muffler , too much for our lil non turboed 1.5's that and a pain to bump up almost an inch. stick with a 2.25 or 2.5 inlet diameter. and the "hot' tanabe look is the "racing medallion" style versus the tuner medallion.

muffler shop welding disconnect the battery geeee that sounds like too much work lol

[hotbox05]

they dont disconnect battery , they lift it up and then weld er up.
