http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2445381057&category=33 636

these say they have a 2.5" inlet and when i measured the pipe with a caliper on my car it was about 1.25" does any one kno any thing about this? if these items would work? and how to install them?

Thanks for you help

For the love of God please dont do it. They are obnoxiously loud. The muffler shop have adapters that they weld if the pipes are / are not big enough to your stock pipes.

the muffler shop will weld them on a make them fit, that is not the issue. the issue is that they will make your TL sound like crap. i saw a TL in my neighborhood with mufflers like those and 1: looks like crap 2: sounds worse

Not trying to thrash, but if I couldn't afford to buy high quality parts for "my" TL, then I'd be better off keeping it stock.

As for the mufflers, if you get those, it's like cutting off your mufflers and glueing on "the ones on ebay." Most exhausts off this website fit our cars and have a bolt-on application. Meaning you can take off/put on yourself at home. If you cannot spend over 200, just be patient and see if anyone would hook you up with used comptechs or something in the "For Sale Forum". Good luck for your investment on your TL!

Putting that "Fireball" exhaust is the worst thing U can do for ur car. Its gonna look awkward, cheap and jus BAD.

Save ur money and invest in an OEM body kit or somethin or maybe anohter car
