Thanks to your input I have decided to install them myself. Should receive them next week.
If it's half as easy as changing the oil on the Limited I look forward to the challenge.

 

I did mine last fall, not as hard as you think. see attachment for instructions. (hope I uploaded it right)
have fun.

 

Thanks.This will help.

 

After much thought I decided to go with the local MIDAS store. They only charged me $45.00 and it was worth every penny after watching two BIG guys (who knew what they were doing) tackle this job.
Removing the supporting donuts was hard. Lining it up and centering the exhaust was crucial. It took them about an hour. I drank my coffee, ate my breakfast burrito, relaxed and watched them do the work. I give you guys a lot of credit for doing your own install.
By the way I shopped for prices. $45.00 to $110.00. That was 6 muffler shops.

 

Good for you bud!

Do ya' like it?

 

I am thinking about this exhaust and have searched for a good photo of it installed on an Xfire but have not found one. Can any help me find one?

 

Mine.

 

It sounds great. Very warm, powerful. Not like a rice rocket.

 

Looks great!

 

They are the best looking after market wheels I have seen since I have been on this forum. Good taste. Especially the deep profile of the rear wheels. What manufacture. Again, nice job.

 

Thanks!

I just ordered mine from Brad. He granted me the Forum deal and only $25 for shipping, $375 total. I will try the install myself which may be interesting since I don't do much mechanic stuff. Does anyone know if I may need any other materials such as bolts and/or gaskets that do not come with the exhaust? Did anyone disconnect the battery like the Magnaflow instruction said?

 

You re-use most of your existing hardware, i.e. bolts and nuts. A new donut gasket was supplied with mine.

You might want to get a couple of big heavy-duty black zip-ties to help hold the rubber hangers at the back closer together. I did it on mine just as cheap insurance to keep them from slipping off in the future (some people had this happen). I fought those little bastards once and that was enough. I've since had mine on for a little over a year and not a single problem.

I saw no reason to disconnect the battery, so I didn't.

 

You might want to think about getting the donut stretcher tool that I mentioned in a previous post and in the quote above. Those buggers are a bit difficult to get off of the original muffler. I used it and a cut off coat hanger threaded thru the donuts to pull down and over to get them off at the muffler. Good luck.

 

I am glad to see that the $350 deal is still on. So, you can still get one by calling:

Brad, the owner has kept this price going for quite a long time. Hope it continues!

 

I got my catback installed this week. I had my friend's shop do it. Cost me $50 which was well worth it. My boltts were rusted and those donuts look wicked. I am loving the exhaust note and the look. It does make my driving a little more spirited just because I love the sound. The drone is not bad and overall I like the car better than before.

 

LOL.....sounds very familiar.

You have the six-speed?

 

Yep. 07 SSB Ltd Coupe with 6 speed.

 

LOL....The six-speed really makes the Magnaflow sing a song!

I've spent so much time around town in 4th gear I'm afraid I'm gonna wear it out.
