just go to atlantic muffler in east LA and tell them you want a magnaflow. be sure to tell the old man that the filipino guy with many RX-7 referred you. he should remember me. located 1 block north of the 5 FWY. shall you decide to go on a saturday or sunday, be there before 7:30. They are the cheapest in LA so there is always a long line despite they have 6 bays.

I would stick with the Magnaflows, have used them for a long time, and they hold up to the rotary heat..

Edelbrock of all companies just released a rebuildable core muffler i want to try...

I raced blown big block chevys with no cats and sraight outs to Borlas, and they lasted great. I have no experience with THAT muffler, but for an extra little bit of money you can get a smaller and purley better Borla. I have a strong feelign towards these sportsman ovals, they sound great and are not too big. Heres where to buy them. If you buy them here they can answer any questions as well. http://www.borla.com/xr1.sportsman.oval.mufflers/

not to hijack the thread or anything, but has anyone tried the Greddy EVO exhuast?? it looks tempting and not too loud on the decibels either.. and if so, what are your comments on it??
