Just got a JIC 3" muffler for cheap but I've never seen anyone run one before... looked them up on the site and they get $360 for them.
Now when I was originally piecing together my exhaust I wanted to use a 2.5" Borla turbo muffler because I wanted the hot gases to vent quicker and I didn't think I'd need anything bigger.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these? It looks like a quality muffler but for one, I dont know if I'll be able to find 80mm piping or if 3" piping will mate up decently since they're slightly less than 4mm off and secondly it feels pretty heavy, anyone know how much a standard muffler should weigh?
