That link doesn't work, but I have a custom 2.5" exhaust on my TII using the Magnaflow universal polished stainless mufflers. I used part #14256 and they were around $90 each shipped. Sounds great...very deep, but not loud at all. If you want loud, don't go with this model.

I've got a custom single exhaust with a Flowmaster 50 series muffler. Word of caution, some say that Flowmaster's can be damaged on rotaries. I've put on 30,000kms and multiple lapping days and it's fine. I recently put in a Eddelbrock muffler where the cat use to be. I think the important thing is to select a muffler that has been designed for a high performance application and can take high heat.

I think you want a muffler with stainless steel packing instead of glass. From what I've heard, glass will burn out.

I bought them from a company in CA called CRW. My father owns an exhaust shop and odered from them, so he may have gotten a small dealer discount. However, I think I recall seeing them online for around that price. These things sound GREAT on my TII!

if youre going to get a knockoff muffler, get the Greddy evo, I'm most pleased with the sound of it on my fc.
