These are DNX mufflers, they advertised in scc mag and stuff, they are made by a company called DriverFX. I got them both through a hookup for only $113 SHIPPED for BOTH!!!!! I had an ebay one on my accord- it was nice but these are really nice. I think retail on these is around $110-$149 each....

they should fit fine if those are 4" tips, i have 4.5 and had to do no cutting at all... since they are circles, just remember that the 4" is the measure of the diameter, so it doesnt get fatter until the middle.. the cutouts should be fine the way they are, but you can always do a test fit by unbolting the old mufflers and just holding them up there to see

Yeah..kinda pissed the tracking info said theyve been "in town" since wedsnday...Havent seen them yet.. I figure the UPS guy didn't want to have 4 huge boxes on his truck and keep pushing them to the side.... I don't know. They'll probably be here in the AM tommorrow, i am going to "skip" my college algebra class and get the exhaust doen then come home and wait on the wheels and tires....If they aren't here by 1pm i'm calling ups and going down there to pick them up...I need them by sunday (autocross day) so i really need them now so i can "heat cycle" them.
