Help...Replacing Type S Mufflers

I have a 07 Type S and would just like to replace the mufflers. Too much cash right now to do a full CBE. I would just like Borla or Magnaflow's.....anybody know the size or part #'s?
I searched and found Magnaflows for a TL, but for the Type S has a dual tip which is different.

I could be wrong, but I don't think you'll be able to match the tips and the angle. Somebody else will chime in soon though...

It would actually not be all that difficult... if you had a shop who was competent cutting and welding... then it can be done


but sorry srt-11 I dont think borla 40652 will do it

you'd have to use something along the lines of magnaflow 14266 or 14580

Magnaflow 14580 looks like the way to go. 5"x11" oval muffler, 1 in 2 out. Similiar to stock. Thanks stillhere153

For anyone else interested, looks like Borla is not an option. Contacted them, and the single in, dual out is 19" long with 3" inlet and 2.5" out.

Why don't you just do Stage 1, 2, 3 or 4 exhaust as posted here on the forum? Do a search. You'll gain a nice sound and no need to replace mufflers. I have Stage 2 and it sounds like a G35 coupe.

It costs $100-125 to do Stage 2 or 3. $30-50 for the resonator and 75 ish for labor. Less than the cost of mufflers.

if you're looking for a inexpensive exhaust, go stage 1-4 .. as said above. very inexpensive, but results are amazing. i went straight pipe from the cat back and got some 40 series flowmasters, and my car sound so meaty.

just search here and youtube, see which fits your needs best.. oh and don't get used to cheap mods, anything for our cars will be a pretty penny

the stage 1-4 do nothing performance wize... swapping the mufflers for magnaflow single in dual out will definitely improve exhaust flow for the car...


to the original poster... my advice to you is get yourself a full custom catback while you are at it... since you'll easily get the mufflers for cheap... (pm me I will search for the cheapest price).... you'll use the stock tips by cutting and custom welding creatively...

the hurdle is the stock y pipe and the restrictive resonator and midmuffler... replace those 2 with something along the lines of a hushpower resonator or an aero resonator and you should be very good.... also find a shop capable of mandrel bending or one who uses prebent mandrel pieces.... you'd want to go 2.5" to the y and 2.25" from there back

I just put a set of Borla Pro XS on my 06 TL and it sounds sick. You might have to get new tips since you got the type S (lucky). I changed my tips cause of the angle of the stock ones. Good luck

You have to be kidding me with that remark. Sorry, my wife and kids come before my car.

The cheapest and most effective way of changing the exhaust note on the car, would be removing the resonator and replacing it with another, or doing likewise with the midmuffler. It would probably be $70 in labor and $50 in parts.
