I just got my car and looking for a muffler.
You see my piping is still stock so can I put this on the stock piping and upgrade that later?
And also, how loud of a noise does this make. I HATE those really loud ones. I want somethign with performance, and not too much noise gain. How does the silencer work and does it take out the performance?
One more q if you dont' mind tellin me, is why you're sellin it?

Yeah, it'll work with your stock piping. Just have a muffler shop weld it on for you.
It's loud if you're using it without a resonator. If you have an exhaust resonator, it's a very bassy exhaust. However, any straight-through muffler used on piping without an exhaust resonator will be loud, so there's no real way of getting around it. My suggestion is to use an exhaust resonator, which you should, anyway. It'll cut down on the fart noise we all hate.
The silencer just goes into the tip of the muffler. A screw, nut, and washers are included. You merely line up the hole in the tip with the hole in the silencer, stick the screw through the hole, and tighten it down with the provided nut. Oh, and you're supposed to use the washers, too; well, you don't have to, but A'PEXi included them. That's it. Very easy and quick. Helps cut down on noise A LOT. Trust me, these silencers work. I never noticed a loss in performance. I gained a lot of low-end, though. I think it's due to the increased backpressure. You might lose some high-end, but I never noticed it.
Lastly, I'm selling it because I'm trying to make my car more sleeper-ish, so I wanted to go with an oval muffler that looked pretty stock. There's nothing wrong with it; I just didn't want people to know my car was too modified, you know? It's a great muffler. Race-proven design by a race-proven company.
