Also...unless they redesigned and cleaned up this muffler recently...I wouldn't waste my money. I bought one from Summit and returned it as soon as looked inside. There is uneven metal cuts and huge overhang pieces right in the inlet side of the flow at the X junction...garbage. See my thread from a few years ago:
