I don't feel up to it right now. I have to install my new intake, my new black wing, and I'm working on 3 Solstice and 2 Sky's and Gilberts Race Cobalt.

Umm, shouldn't you try to get the crap out before re-installing?? so you don't get **** in the muffler and resonator?? I have always seen a long bar or chisel used to shatter the material then you remove it while out of the car.

He has a side exit pipe, so the only thing it will get on is the ground. But Even when you think you got ALL of it out it will still blow chunks. I washed it with a hose and all that too, still shot out a plume of material.

I don't have my side exit exhaust any more, I didn't have my cat on it. I traded Jason exhaust yesterday. I now have a 2.5 in with a magnaflow muffler but it has the cat on it. I felt a big power loss in 3rd which is why i wan't to take it off.

Good Job!! I have been thinking about doing this mod since I bought my car. I just was not sure how to go about it or if I could pull it off with a CLEAN look. All though I'm not a fan of those Riced out mufflers I do like the clean dual appearance. Thanks for the write up.

Cannons! LOL! I'll give you guys 2 tickets to the GUN SHOW.

We shot some vids tonight so we have to upload them and edit them before posting.

And hey, somone had to do it first. I origianlly wanted just tips back there, but I LOVE the way these sound, trust me, worth every rude comment that could be made against them. I too frown on Fart Cannons, but oh well guess I'm going double barrel.

Okay, but you have to buy the parts. Mainly just spray paint. And you need to know if your fart cannons are going to fit to.


>We took video and pics today. Going to upload in the next couple days.

I left it at Promuffler. I stopped liking how those magnaflows sounded. they created all the rasp.

You know the more I read this tread and look at those pics, the look of those mufflers really stands out. Who makes those bad boys anyway. I am really thinking about this mod. Are you going to try and post a sound clip or video of you duals? I would really enjoy hearing these in action.

WAY TOGO MAN I LIKE!

Very nice!!! I had pretty well the same setup on my Matrix.



Dual Magnaflow Mufflers, with the y-piece just past the rear axle. I also had a high flow Magnaflow Cat and a high flow Magnaflow Resonator (which is technically another muffler). It sounded pretty mean! Especially when I would hit lift at 6500rpm. The only complaint I had about it is on long highway trips, the drone from it would get somewhat annoying. Other then that, I loved it!
