Atlas, how much are you getting mufflers for?
So you basically proved my point in your statement you sell parts for your friends shop meaning you get to do work/get parts for a discount.
Still factoring in the time, margin for error and the fact you actually have to take measuements and ensure a proper fit it's worth it to buy it from a vendor who has already mastered this even if it costs $100 more if you don't see my point I don't understand how you are allowed to drive.

If this is for your accord, compatability with the TL's I can't answer and won't argue because I don't know it to well.
Why do you want a 3" compared to a 2.5". I mean obviously it will sound different but have you seen if the difference is worth it?
Sorry for being harsh lol

If you can find someone do to good welding for cheap I would say yes. But you also have the ability to find a exhaust used

So the two videos of car with no mufflers

The exhaust need modified...
1.Cut about a foot our of the mid pipe where the flange was.
2. Cut ~2" out of the long section on the Y split.
3. Angle cut the short part of the Y to aim muffler straight
4. Cut and rotated short Y up because muffler aimed down.
Some pics
Last pic you can see two spots were modified above.
Sound clips with mufflers on

Yeah you can add one to tame it down a little more if you think it's too loud or if there is too much drone. I would look into a Dynomax resonator, I see a couple on their site with a 3.5" inlet/outlet so it will fit over the new exhaust piping without having to modify it.

I am going to try to use my 2 stock mufflers....lets see if I can pull it off. I am having trouble finding a reducer, but I might be able to get a custom reducer made. I dont want to have it welded, I want to use clamps. I will take pics of everything as I am putting together and onto my car.

I wonder how it would sound if you just put one larger muffler in the middle and straight to the tips, instead of paying for 2 mufflers. I still have stock piping but run no rear mufflers and still have the mid and a Dynomax res in place of the stock one. I just can't see the advantage of having 2 unless you want more noise control as long as the muffler is straight through.
