it's a magnaflow muffler. Not sure how it would sound on a 3.0 but i've heard them on a Type S before and they sounded tits. A lot better then my ricey N1
Dust, can you get me some better pictures? From different angles and further back? Also, how wide and long, tall is it?

I've been looking at the Magnaflow with the dual oval tips. The guy at the muffler shop said they're real good (of course, what else would he say). I was quoted $220 installed. Have you got a quote yet?
the average price for the magnaflow 14258 is 121.99. i found it at one place for 102.99.
figure 20 for shipping so he's charging you at least 60-70 bucks for install. i don't know what exactly is involved in the installation, but thats assuming a good hour or so of work. are the tips included with the price of 220?

I can't find any other pics. I must have deleted them!

It's a 3A Racing "Air Dynamic" muffler.

but these are what I could get:Tips = 3 1/4" round (x 2)
Tips = 8" long (from canister to end of tip)
Tips = 8" (from left edge of left tip to the right edge of the right tip w/ about 1/2" space in between)
Muffler = 9" wide (both canisters w/ about 1/4" space in between)
Muffler = 23" long (excluding "Y" pipe connected to exhaust pipe)
Muffler = approx 4" tall (guestimate)
"Y" pipe = apprx 3-4" (from rear of canisters to exhaust pipe--this is a guestimate and can be customized)

:PThe space between the tips is about 1" to 1 1/2" not 1/2".
ghander, the one you posted, i've heard it on a 3 liter V6 engine, sounds nice and deep and pretty subdued, not ricey.
the one rick has is probably much louder cause the canisters are so small, but if you have a bigger canister, it should be more muffled...
