found my favorite exhaust setup!

I installed my stock muffler with magnaflow tips this morning on my Hotshot headers and greddy catback. i love it, sounds just perfect and no drone on the highway. had to work with the muffler alittle to make it work but it is on there now and looks nice and sounds better. just wanted to share with you guys.

So I assume it bolts right about with no hassle? Like no tugging to make it sit right or banging? I know some rear sections don't fit well with the GReddy b-pipes....

I really want my 5.5 max to sound like the infiniti FX, if that means running a true dual i'll do it, i know the motor has it in it, you just got to let it out. Any one with sound clips with anything close, please feed the needy, post some clips guys

Can we not get a pic of these tips?! Every reply to this thread makes me think there's a pic. And there never is. I'm disgusted.

Just Kidding..
But if you can get a pic that would be great...
