WOW, very generous, but I'm on the other side, Manatee county! I think $650 is a pretty good price installed, considering the average price I have seen is around $689 just for the kit! Again, thanks for the offer pal!!

Well, I'll be the dissenting voice and recommend a TB and tune. For results, see the "Rounds" in my signature.

That said, the SOUND of new mufflers is a lot of fun too. Maybe not that much faster without a tune, but fun.

Whichever way you go, welcome to the forum!

Mufflers are nice, but if you're looking for better performance vs the sound, do the tune first. The tune will enhance performance noticeably. The mufflers will just give you better sound.

Well, Im getting the magnaflow axle backs put on by a local shop next week. Wanted to try it myself, but the price I got installed, was cheaper than what A.M. Has them listed for, so I went that way. But in a few weeks, I will be looking to get a tuner. Like
I've been saying, this is ALL new to me so from what I've seen, Bama is a pretty good, might go with that. I guess I'm having a mid life crisis! Just want something with a little pep that sounds decent. I really appreciate all the information you guys are giving me!!

nice, not sure about the TB on our 3.7, I had a mits eclipse 4 banger before this car, and did full bolt on, and the bigger TB off a GT realy worked on the top end, just saying, some of you guys that have done TB chime in,

Yes I did Joe, and it sounds really nice at idle, and when I punch it, it sounds great! I'm glad I went with the magnaflows!
