    You wouldn't happen to have any universal Catalytic Converters that would work for our VX's? Thanks

    Beat me to it .....Went Magnaflow about a year ago. Lost at least twenty pounds in the process. You may want to consider a resonator.....that muffler is gonna "drone" a bit...a lot. Sounds nice and burbly at start up tho

    One thing we can promise you all and for anyone considering
    buying parts online.
    When you buy from us, we garauntee all we sell
    We can usually match or come very close to anyones price
    online, but if we cant we'll let you know that too.
    We have way more personable service and chances are
    if you call my shop, you can talk directly to me everytime.
    We are only a phone call away 6 days a week.
    Im online 7 days. (and rarely take a vacation...)
    Youll be buying from another VX owner, not someone who has
    never seen or driven one.
    And all the stuff we design or sell, will probably be tested on our
    own Vx prior to putting it out there.
    Just something to keep in mind when buying. :bgwg:

    Aero Exhaust -- Maximum Performance Gain

    If you want improved performance and mileage go with an Aero:
    http://www.aeroexhaust.com/aero_perf...e_exhaust.html
    I have been enjoying the performance gains on my aero-turbine for nearly 4 years now.

    We also offer that brand too, but to be honest they are
    a little overpriced for what you get.
    The Magnaflow imho is a little more affordable and works
    really just as well. Their 18" version wont be too loud either.
    The aero mufflers Ive heard on other local Suvs are a little
    too throatie for alot folks.

    my exhaust system is likely due for a replacement in the next couple of years as it looks kinda rusty, no holes yet but I'm sure it's simply a matter of time, I'm not necessarily looking for improved (more aggressive) noise, if I was only interested in that I would have kept one of my Alfa's and besides, the VX is plenty loud already
    but when I am looking for a replacement exhaust system, are there tangible benefits such as performance or gas mileage, or will it all be in my head (or ears! hahahahahaha)

    The new one about 8lbs
    less then the OE suitcase sized muffler.
    Ill be installing one on my own Vx in the next few weeks
    with pics before and after and even a few vids on youtube
    to be able to hear it.
    Im also going to get a baseline of my mpg at the moment
    stock, and then after the muffler install.
    Ill even weigh both mufflers let you know the results if you want.

    Put these on a customer hot rod a couple of years back. No "seat of the pants" performance gains (a muffler never does boost that much, regardless of what they say) but a flat-head Ford never sounded better!

    I am torn between a Supertrapp and Hushpower muffler. I'm leaning toward the Hushpower right now. If I get it should I stay with the 2.25" pipe or step up up to 2.5"? Or will it even matter?

    aero turbine

    Had my aero muffler for several years - a little loud if you get the one without a resonator - but no other muffler comes close - pricey at $250.
    It actually speeds up the exhaust by venturi effect - put one on my diesel motorhome also and the results were really amazing there.
