roof spoiler

Hi, does anyone know if the 99-01 rear roof(length) is the same as 96-98 RL.
I want to buy for my 96 RL but they only have for 99-01. Thank.

I want to make sure before I buy the magnaflow. Will the muffler fail the emission test?
I'm in Cali. btw.

It looks like just a muffler. Are you going to cut the stock one off and weld this one on? If do, should not have any issues with emissions.

If you install it, please post pics and sound clips. Very interested in doing similar myself.

Yea, I was thinking the same, since it's just the exhaust; I don't think it will fail the emission test. Anyway, I going to order the 14815 instead, the 14816 tips are too big (3.5)

Awesome. Thanks!
What color did you get? Be sure to post a pic when you get it mounted. I've got an 04 and I've been itching for one of those.

My color is Yr511P, Devon Slate pearl. It's brown and black, it's just a weird looking color but I love it You guys notice this is an universal roof spoiler right? So you need clear silicon to hold it in shape. Dude, the shipping is taking forever. I want it now! Oh BTW there are two models for the roof spoiler, make sure you pick the BRS, its look the best.

Yea, the spoiler came in today! It looks pretty good lol. I can't wait to mount it on. As for the exhaust, I'm still looking for a clamp on tips that fit the 3''.

Thank all. My 96 is 29psi. With the new 225/55/16 tires, it's bounce a lot more like a sport car , Does anyone experiencing this or is it my strut? I had 216/60/16 before and it smooth as hell. Personally, I like the 216/60/16 more because it smooth and very comfortable when driving. Anyway, I'm still finding clamp on tips with 3'' inlet and outlet, no luck so far. I guess I need to get the magnaflow 3''inlet and weld it on.

I think is the PSi on the tires that caused it ride too rough. I just changes it back down to 32F and 30R it helps a little bit but not much. Anyway, the rear spoiler came in yesterday and I can't wait for the rain to stop so I can mount it on!

LOL! Glad you guys like it. I bought the trunk spoiler from ebay. "Paintedspoilershop"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Paint...ht_2381wt_1017
You have to provide to the seller your paint code with the name and your trunk length. I told him my trunk is 50'' but from the pictures you guys can tell that was a little bit short. I forgot to take in account that you have to form the curve of the trunk. So 50.5''? I don't know, I think it's better if you have painter tape or cardboard and use that as a guide. Anyway I can't wait for spring break so I can touch up my rear bumper.

FAILED, they couldn't get it install. The guy at the shop told me that it going to be leak if the tips are cut off. But he also mentioned that he can install a different magnaflow for $160, i guess I'm going this route. If anyone interested in my Magnaflow 14815 ($125) PM me, or else I'm going to return it.
