You can do it yourself took me 30 min and I know little about cars.... will make louder and more power much lighter too

Don't know about HP,but the sound is great.EZ home install using all stock hangers.No need to take to shop,and requires no welding.Highly recommend.About an hour or two to install.Back to the HP it can't hurt when you see the size of the stock muffler. Hope this helps .MIKE

I did not see any H.P change. You can do it you self but I went to a muffler shop.

I cant say i have seen an increase in hp it does soubd great though as for the install really easy driveway install the muffler clamps right into place no problem only thing is you are going to want to adjust the trumpet tips on the end mine were not even after install and thats easy as well just loosen the bolt adjust and tighten install is less than one hr no need to weld.

Instead of asking will it fit check your inlet diameter of your exhaust you inlet needs to match the inlet of this muffler but my advice get your self something better such as DCSPORTS it sounds crisper and won't kill your hearing unlike this muffler

It will fit. A good exhaust shop can make anything work. Should sound good too. Not too raspy. Not the best muffler you can buy but good for the price.

Depends on the car and engine for what sound you get, I had a 2010 MB C300 and it did make a slight difference. More of a change in a lot of acceleration, not much change in idle noise. Technically on a lease you can't modify the exhaust, chances are they won't find it when you turn it back in though. Just keep the resonator when they take it out and when you return the car you can always put the resonator back in. It doesn't void warranty. The manufacturer just would not cover the warrenty on the Xpipe or anything past the Xpipe (muffler and exhaust tips) since you modified before it. This xpipe is a replacement for the resonator (basically a secondary muffler, in general terms) in the exhaust system.

I'm not sure if that's possible. But if you have a 2.5 dual exhaust off of your engine, and you made it become a 2.5 single exhaust, I would imagine that you would take a step backwards in your horsepower. I don't think that would be worth the money of buying a nice muffler.

Yes it is a weld on. Also custom hangers were used for mine, since my car is lowered. But this muffler sounds great, nice low tone.

Don't restrict yourself to exactly where the old muffler was. Find a fitting place & modify all necessary connections with tubing the size of the Vibrant resonator.

It does add sound, albeit with a little bit of drone. It sounds best when you really step on it. You do have to have the rear resonator removed and the x-pipe welded on. If you don't want to spend the money for a full exhaust this is the best option out there. There are videos on audizine or audiworld that can give you a feel for the sound. I have no regrets about mine and can't see how it would affect your warranty.

Yup, btw dont listen to patrick Hughes as this will not make your challenger louder at all and also id recommend taking it to muffler shop and have the 4 mufflers removed straight thru pipes are the way to go trust me

I did not install it, would not fit so I don't know if it would change the sound.

The installation it's actually simple, takes a lot of elbow grease to remove the stock muffler but installing the new one it's quite simple. Use a lot of WD40 to remove the stock and lots of patience with the rubber shocks, you may wanna remove the towing hook because it my rub in your new muffler.

They are intended to replace the muffler. You could add it after the stock muffler, but it won't do anything. The stock muffler will already have cut the noise and the pressure. One thing that I liked about this muffler was the 'throaty' rumble it gave the engine, so it needs to go alone.

I installed it on my sisters 2003 Vibe 2 wheel drive. The stock exhaust is a solid welded piece from front to back. Use an electric saw to cut out the old catalytic assembly. Then put the new cat pipe with a muffler clamp. I did have trouble fitting the new cat pipe over the stock exhaust where I made the cut. It seems that Magnaflow didnt expand the end of their cat pipe (where it fits over the stock exhaust) wide enough. It just wouldnt slip on easily.

hey Gregory swinney if your motorized vehicle is loud in its original state then maybe it will add a bit more but if it isn't it will give it a nice sound to it. but your question is if it fits? your gonna have to make a small adjustment to it. I mean by the pipe

The sound is from the muffler itself. But the tips can tune or change the sound too. For example a wide bell open tip maybe louder than a smaller narrow tip. These are medium size and might take the edge or sharpness of the sound down. Havent had the tips off this system yet try, no need. Other tips probably won't do much but change the finished look.

No, it does not affect the sound at all. The quality,fit and heavy gauge of the metal is very good. Because of this, you may want to invest in a stainless steel tail pipe clamp from your auto supply shop to guarantee a secure fit.

If you have an aftermarket intake, the sound will be more pronounced. I'm still breaking in my motor, so I haven't been in boost with this yet. I have read others saying it's louder than the stock valve. I can say that it's a quality piece, but the recirculating hose fits very tight to my processwest intercooler. I would buy it again though.
