    You could have any tip powder coated black if that was the look you are going for. Normal powdercoat should be fine or there is high temp stuff for headers.

    i found a 2.25 in 2.5 out muffler made for a monte carlo by dynomax... im thinkin about it, obviously ill need to change out the exhaust tip and pipes after the muffler.. anyone have thoughts on dynomax mufflers?its got hangers on it to fit under the monte carlo that ill probably need to chop off, but how would this new muffler be attached? or do the exhaust hangers on the pipes support the weight of it?

    etlsport I was running a Dynomax muffler on my custom dual setup... That was until I blew the muffler up since I need some tuning and I am running to rich. But while I was running it sounded great. I have replaced it with the Magnaflow, but I think the Dynomax sound as good if not better than the Magnaflow.

    If your installer has his poop in a group, he should be able to cut the hanger from the stock muffler & weld it to the new muffler. Or fab a new one to accomidate repositioning.

    Yup. They can just re-use the original and tack it onto the new (Morgan-tec) muffler. The original has the rubber isolation too.

    3A racing performance

    Now i am obsessed with adding two 3A racing performance mufflers,the models are 63-0542

    Actually i got a bunch of upgrades in mind such as the sun roof,20x8.5 wheels,tail light & head lights GTS covers,WRX hood scoop from subaru,HID head lights & racing strips decals.
    Dakar was just the begining.
