have no idea how to fit it on but sounds like you diy'd it and was a smooth install?
Thanks Spikey. Yeah, it was DIY apart from cutting the pipe. It's pretty easy. There are just 2 rubber hangers holding the muffler in place, so once the pipe is cut, pull the old muffler out, put the new one in, and clamp it in place.

P.s hope you don't mind if I use your pic for promo stuff (?)
lol, go for it Stu. Rather you use them than some random ebayer. I'll need a good deal on my next purchase though

Actually I did ask the guy this morning out of curiousity how much to do the whole job, but he wasn't interested. That was a bit odd. Quite happy to cut the pipe though. I'd rather do it myself anyway, and I didn't have the exhaust with me at the time, so it didn't matter anyway.

I think if they charge more than $60 for an install like this, they're taking you for a ride. It's probably about 20 mins work in a well equipped shop.
