Muffler Help 2.0 vs 2.25
dude i dont know which one will fit jackass. u think ur funny dude but im surprised u dont get ur *** kicked all the time. i know i ask a lot of questions but im a college student and i need to make sure i dont waste my cash. so if u dont wanna help than dont post. u dont have to be an idiot. go wipe ur moms ***.
Alright apparently you don't understand the concept of welding, so I'll explain it to you. Welding is a process that allows a mechanic to attach one piece of metal to another piece of metal. If you are just getting a muffler they will weld it on. As such the pipe size makes no difference.
The reason I don't get my *** kicked is because I don't socialize with people that need every little detail of their life explained to them. As a result of this I don't have to act like an *** when stupid questions are asked as they are not asked. Oh and the mom comment was a nice touch, reminds me of my junior high days.

dude i gotta get the right size so its kind of flush with the bumper. dude i dont need everything handed to me on a plate but since i know nothing about cars i could use some info. im just here to learn. I heard you can clamp on a muffler with these special clamps so you don't have to weld? is that not true? maybe you could be a bit more humble.
Goddammit newb listen to what we are saying! It doesn't matter, unless you are buying a muffler that has an 8 inch tip you'll be fine. When you go to the muffler shop they can make a recommendation and can adjust the position of the muffler so that it fits. Clamps are a waste of time, they'll probably leak and in the end it'd be cheaper to just have them weld on the muffler, it literally takes 5 minutes. This topic comes up at least 5 times a week, I'm tired of being humble, especially when it takes 3 pages for the person to damn well listen and get what everyone is saying.
ok so basically i wont be able to get this muffler on myself. i will have to take it to a shop b/c the clamp will leak? I'm just tryin to find the cheapest way. I guess ill just pay them 50 to weld it on. im gonna buy the magnaflow and bring it to them. so they dont overcharge me. so they're gonna have to weld some extra pipe on or put an extra long tip.
im just gonna say this one time. basically when i put this magnaflow muffler on that i want its gonna be about 6 inches from the bumper so i want to put a 6 inch tip on. I'd like to saw the old one and clamp the new one to save cash. but since u say that wont work good. i wont do it.
They should haven't to add anything, they should just be able to cut off your old one and weld the new one on. Before you order a muffler go to a shop and see what they have and what something like this would cost.
so u think i should take whatever they have? they'll charge me over retail for it. all i know is that i took measurements of my stock muffler and the magnaflow that will fit the best is 6 inches shorter.
You could use clamps, but it's not a good idea. Realistically I don't care what you do, it's your car and your money. Would I use clamps if I was installing just a muffler? Hell no.
You don't need a Magnaflow muffler, there are other brands out there. The only thing that makes Magnaflow special is that it's Magnaflow, you're paying for the name. As long as you buy a decent muffler (ie. no ebay crap), you'll be fine and should be able to find one that looks the way you want it to look and fits the way it should fit.

The best plan in my opinion is for every exhaust mod you do do an intake side mod. The exact route I went is intake, header, throttle body, intake manifold, fuel rail and then catback exhaust and I haven't noticed any loss, only gains. Unless you're turbo I wouldn't recommend changing out the cat, in the recent Import Tuner they did a comparison between stock cat, two forms of a high flow cat and a test pipe and they gained maybe 3 hp out of changing out the cat, and this was on a 160 hp engine. On our engine you'd be lucky to gain 2 hp.
