Default Trying to decide about doing a custom exhaust.

I'm not sure if i should do a custom exhaust on my car. It's a 96 a4 2.8, and i'm thinking about buying this magnaflow muffler right now. check it out, its got a lifetime warranty, tell me what you think about price, quality, etc. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Magna...spagenameZWDVW

do it. actually if you can find the 14816, it sounds a bit deeper and nicer IMO

piping is cheap. just go to like autozone or something. the welding part will cost more. unless you just clamp them on.

I'm definitely gonna weld them, i dont' feel too safe with just clamps on there. How much of a difference is there b/w the 14816 be then the 14815

I don't know either, I'm honestly curious. I don't have my A4 at home otherwise I would go look, but it seems like 6.5" would stick out kind of far.

ya for sure but did you see the picture at the end of that video, it looked pretty clean. I thought the pipes would stick out way too far to, but i guess not.

just sent an offer on ebay for the 14816 for $145. is that a good price for the muffler, it's brand new and there's free shipping.
