Default Local performance shops with stuff in stock???

I need a new muffler, looking for one with 2.25" inlet and twin tips. No larger than 3"
I 've been searching online, and I guess nopionline.com is the biggest source. Its hard to tell what they'd look like on my car, soooo my question is....Where locally can I find a good assortment of decent exhaust goodies to put on my car. Is there a shop locally that carries a decent selection of mufflers and tips in stock?
Also....if not, where else could I look online?
Finally....where can I have my new muffler installed, somehwhere that'll do a good job. I live in the Brandon area. Thanks in advance.

-Ben

I have a hook up with a local distribitor on muflers.
They carry diffrent brands but onlybrand im sure of is magnaflow

www.magnaflow.com

I get close to wholesale cost...and will be cheaper than you walking in any store to buy it...and I got a friend who has an exhast shop that is nto far from Brandon area..that will install it...depending on how much pipe he has to run etc..he charges like 20.$-40$.

Thanks for the help...yeah I'd like to get something on my car before next weekend. I'd like to do some autocrossing in Gainesville on the 5 and/or 6th of October. I don't think I'll go with my muffler all F'd up from getting rearended. It looks, sounds, and performs like butt right now.
I really like the Ractive Brospeed style 3" stainless steel twin tip muffler. I saw that TampaHonda Land has a performance shop (mostly for Hondas I assume) in the ad I saw in Makes and Models Magazine it says they carry Ractive. Do they have crap in stock? Just wondering.

Hey now! I've got some mufflers in stock....


What brand are you looking? Generic? Skunk2?

How much are you looking to spend?
