Magnaflow + 4" DiMisa tips install with sound clips

Did the second cat and resonator delete a few weeks ago. Will post sound clips for that soon.

Today I'm going to the exhaust shop with a Magnaflow muffler and 4" black DiMisa tips. Planning on taking a new video and pics after that's done for comparison for you all.

For any of you planning on getting DiMisa tips, be prepared to place your order and then wait for 3 weeks or so. Don't bother calling them or emailing for updates cause you won't get a response. The tips are gorgeous but their customer relations needs a serious overhaul. /rant

Will post vids after everything is done.

I don't notice any sound difference at all. Which is more than slightly disappointing. The exhaust pops are lower though. No more snapping pops when decelerating in sport mode.

Oh well. I'll take a vid in a little while and let you guys decide.

Just wait...when the muffler is broke in you will notice it. I've had mine on for 18 months and it sounds good. Not too loud or annoying. Also check out member 1bigpea's video/sound clip of his Magnaflow.

You're absolutely right. The muffler has broken in (something i didnt know about) and the sound is very nice. Much more noticeable outside the car of course but it sounds pretty sweet. I have yet to get around to making a video but I will soon.

Yes, but it took a lot of bending and messing around to get it fit in there correctly. It was a very tight fit. I would recommend getting one with the inlet on one side and two outlets on the other. Would have been much easier for the shop.
