Trying to get my IMCO installed.
Had no problems finding anyone to do mine...but I had them order the muffler for me and they didn't question anything at all.

A few weeks back I bought a T924 to put on my '96 Altima to check out the sound before trying to persuade my Wife to put one on the HHR. Two different shops told me they couldn't do it.
Turns out the Altima and the "LS" both have 1 3/4 in. ex. pipes and they claimed it was too much to go from that to the 2 1/4 in. pipe on the T924.
The "LTs" have a bigger ex.pipe, which I didn't know originally
. So, I checked back with Full Line Exhaust and bought a T909 Turbo (2 in.pipes) and had that put on the Altima. Sounds great!! Nice purr to it outside, not too noticeable inside.
Now I have a T924 sitting in my trunk and I'm not sure whether to try getting someone to put it on the HHR "eventually", or get another T909 for it ?

I'll mull that over! Too bad you're so far away! The box it came in is kinda beat up on the ends. Don't know if it would make it cross- country as is!

They are non-diretcional internally, so can be installed either way. For CLEARANCE purposes, installing it as shown keeps the muffler away from the plastic inner fender AND left rear springs.
Hope it helps,

I am going to take mine the Richard's Performance Muffler in Vista and have them do it. At least I know they have done it before and can do it again without any issues. I order it last week and it should be at my doorstep when I get home today! WOOHOO
