Pretty good. I got quoted 300 to put in the mufflers I chose. So you're in good stead for all that work!

You gotta go step by step to get a feel for it so its good that you went the way you did. They think that if you live in a city that you're a chump so yeah I got quoted that. I decided to weld it myself one of these days since you can get an arc welder from harbor freight for 60 bucks. Better investment to just do that.

The dude claimed I got the wrong size muffler and he'll have to do a custom job. I loled and left...

Lol 400-700. You'd think they're making it out of titanium or something. Or at least if its custom built like this!




A lot of guys here just get the car straight piped but its sooo freaking loud and the drone on the freeway is just annoying. They sound good but it wear's off. Plus this is a nice comfy car so the sound just get's annoying.

Best thing I did so far is get rid of the mid muffler and stock resonator and use a dynomax resonator. Nice tone mid range and i'm planning on losing the mufflers and putting in a nice open shorty muffler. Will be loud when I'm on the throttle but quietish on the freeway with no drone.

With the magna's yeah you'll hear a difference. Magna's do have a chirp to them which I don't really like. You may or may not be able to hear that. Not sure about the TSX setup but without the stock resonator you'll get a deeper tone but that's only if the aftermarket one you buy is smaller.
