Holy crap that looks bling, I'd buy it alone for that shiney stuff I just purchased a summit racing turbo muffler thats suppost to be similar in sound quality to a dynomax super turbo muffler. They are both chambered, so they won't be super duper droney and loud with a resonator.

Do they make center inlet summit turbo mufflers? I didn't see one.

Once side is an offset, the other side is a center. I think you can use either side, I'm going to see what the muffler shop is willing to do. I hope they'll be able to do a side inlet, center outlet like those with a 5th gen Muffler.

my magnaflow

ive got a magnaflow muffler with all wsp exhaust (resonator included) here is a video link to the sound of mine, its throaty and loud, but damn it sounds good, I might actually go with something different, aka quieter since its pretty loud, but i was wondering if anybody had a sound clip of the 5th gen muffler on their car, i think i heard people were putting that on the 3rd gens. i could be wrong, usually am.

here is a pic of it

http://members.cardomain.com/maxininct I have similiar mufflers to these, tryin to go for 300zx look, they look great and sound great down low, but up in the revs they have a sort of rattle to em, i think its from that insert that u can see, (circle pipe inside of circle pipe thingy) i think thats what vibrates and creates the sound. i dont recommend them. i am currently replacing mine. =)

Did you have to alter the spare wheel well on yours to do the duals? How are they mounted?

I just like the stock VE muffler, but the 5th gen muffler is cool too

something like the 350z/g35 tips but a tad smaller would look good

No spare wheel modifications needed. Theres a good local custom exhaust place near me that does all sorts of custom stuff for pretty cheap. Its not true dual, but it splits right at the rear axel and it flows 50/50 so its not so bad. I like the sound but like i said at a high rpm they get like this rattle, kinda hard to explain but my previous fart pipe did not do it which leads me to beleive its that little insert u can see rattling away under heavy vibration. wont get that type again, and actually im goin back to single exhaust for the 3" turbo back.

oh yea and u asked how were they mounted, the guys just welded up some brackets on the other side and put up the muffler, he had to do some serious pipe bending though, the pipe actually goes up above the sway bar and then comes down to meet the muffler.
