Hey I ordered some magnaflow 14829 mufflers and I brought it to a muffler shop but they said I bought the wrong muffler. They said the 14829 was a center-center and our tsx need a offset-center muffler because the center-center piping will be really close to the suspension. It gonna cause vibration or something like that. Can anybody help me? Or maybe i could bring it to another shop and see what they say.

 

Im having the same issue. I'm in the chicago land area.

 

i have same mufflers installed and the shop didnt say anything about having trouble fitting them and there isnt any vibration so they trying to bs you and i would search for other shop

 

there is like 4 guys with those mufflers and i dont think anyone said they had problems fitting them

 

This is BS.. I tried so many shops. one guy told me they would be angled. I know tobwac killerg and two other have them.

 

hmm now im concerned, since this was gonna be my next mod...

 

Hey tobwac can you snap a picture under your car to see how it lined up? I wanna show the muffler shop

 

dont think killerg had any issues getting his mufflers to fit. ed, ask him? pretty sure he had zero issues though. he never mentioned them to me or on his thread if he did.

 

here is one i took yesterday when got my resonator installed

 

Thanks a lot! And what resonator did you installed? And why didn't leave the stock resonator

 

I believe the shop is right. You need a shop that's capable of bending pipes and fabricating. The mufflers not a direct fit. Any serious shop shouldn't have a problem with this though.

 

yeah, tobwac, is it just the angle of the pic or is the drive side muffler tip slightly touching the bumper?

 

i got the Vibrant 1141 and i kept both resonator for better sound cuz just the vibrant is not enough to kill the raspy noise

 

its def the angle of pic there is like a 3/4" space between the tip and bumper

 

Oh. I see. How you liked the sound with just the muffler installed

 

i liked it a lot it was much deeper and little louder than stock
now after dowpipe and test pipe and resonator were installed its even louder and even deeper

 

here is a video i dig up from my thread with just the mufflers installed

Any one want to sell their cut off pass side stock muffler? I will pay $100 shipped to 40514.

Thanks, Joe.

 

Had my local shop install some Magnaflow nockoffs. They have the same part number as the Magnaflows, even with the MF in the part #. They fit perfect, look exactly like that pic above. Even put the stock tips on to em to keep it lookin clean.
Sounds good, took a while to get used to the sound inside the car though.
