I'm looking for a stainless muffler that uses noise-cancelling chambers and does not contain any wadding/padding/packing/fibers/whatever.
Edelbrock has something like this, but it's not stainless steel.
Otherwise I like the Magnaflow, but I might get dual/dual tips (like the SLP ones).

Verdad Gallardo i ordered the supermaxx and magnaflow 2 days ago. delivery date is for tomorow. i started taking off the stock system yesterday and finished today. took a total of 5 hours does that sound right for a 1998 with a rusty stock exhaust? i had to use a sawzall to hack it out. i wanted to save it just in case for emmissions but it is no more. oh well. i hope the install will be better. i know the reward will be much greater and cleaner.

headers came this morning. summit is very fast. took them 1 and 1/2 days and they charged like $9.00 for shipping. the install however has really tested my patience at times today. getting the header bolts in were the toughest part in my opinion. felt like smashing stuff. at first i was just going to tighten them down without a torque wrench but after seeing and feeling how the gaskets were squashing down i thought it would be a good idea. picked one up at advanced auto and torqued them down to 18lb. surprisingly i was able to use the torque wrench on every bolt. had to remove the oil filter and spark plugs on the driverside. these headers really fit up there very nice. i got the whole system together and its just loose right now. i didnt even need a tail pipe expander. i also have part of the magnaflow up. tomoro i will tighten everything up and finish the magnaflow.the whole system is very nice. awsome quality. i really hope when i start it up it doesnt throw any codes,run like ****,or not start.

Don't let that get you down, looks like your install is coming along very well there.

yeah,over all i'm pleased. hey joe, do you know exactly how hot headers get? because the boots on the plug wires touch on some of the primaries. do you know if they could melt or start a fire?

Won't start a fire but may damage plug wire.
Maybe your wires' boots are too big.
What wires do you have...?
Do you have pics...?

they are msd wires that actually came on the car when i bought it. they all have a round heat shield around the boots but there not long enough to protect the whole boot. i should probly go look for some extra long heat shields. i cant be the only guy with this problem there must be longer shields.
i didnt take any pics today cause i was to busy swearing. after i tighten the system up tomoro i'll take some good pics.
