I did about 3 months of 1-2 hour a day research... I've done this with all of my custom exhaust builds. Exhaust tones, air flow, and actual power gains are so touchy that if you would even change the diameter of the muffler I'm using by a quarter of an inch you would have a completely different tone.

So to answer your question, no. If a local exhaust shop tried this with you just walking in and them it in a couple of hours (or even a day), it will most likely sound like garbage.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is a magnaflow muffler. I was debating putting together a double-can weld center muffler (like the MXP exhaust) but felt this was a much better, easier, and cleaner look. I like the fact that from behind you can still see the mufflers but not all the way. Plus the slant they have coming from the back end gives it a really mean look.

I've received a few PM's already and am in the process of considering making a few, limited edition sets. I'm still doing a little more homework on what will need to be done but I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to do this if enough people are interested. I would honestly like to make available a full system.

I'd love to make something similar for the sedan but I currently don't have access to one. I was an idiot and gave up my loaner without taking the measurements I needed to consider a job like this. I'm sure I can work something out at my local dealer though OR find someone with a sedan around me.

Looks like someone put your rear tires back on the wrong sides, or you wanted them like that. Those look like the Eagle F1's or maybe the Toyo Proxes T1R's

Haha I was waiting for someone to notice that. They're switched back now but I was messing around when I plasti-dipped my wheels.
