Oh boy - I hope that when Magnaflow says Oval, they mean a rectangle with the corners knocked down (like a traditional muffler). The pic of the 14225 looks round/egg shaped which will probably hang down in a very unsightly way. Hope I am not being a buzz-kill here. Just make sure your "undergarments" are not showing too much or it will definitely look like you stopped at the only muffler shop in town.

That is why I want an actual Magnaflow part number from someone who has it installed... I am not sure if we should get the Round style or Oval style muffler and whether the inlet and outlet are offset or centered and in what diameter.

Reborn -I have seen at least 20 dif Cs with"mufller shop" jobs and not one had a round muffler(s).
I am not saying that it has not been done, but I have to think that unless its like a Tubi or old cherrybomb style, they are going to hang down killing the sportlux look of your C. I personally would rather pick couch change up for a year and buy the right thing then to ****up the looks.

You guys are funny with all the magnaflow questions. I don't know the part number nor if it was oval or triangle.. I was lucky enough to have a shop do it for $450 or so bucks, but I never got the exact part numbers. There are plenty of pics with this setup though, I think I posted a few. Just print it out and go to a local exhaust shop that sells magnaflows.
But to those who don't believe me, the exhuast when paired with bypass pipes sounds amazing! I'm not joking, as Jeff SD or SeattleBum or Captain Tall. I can't remember who I stole the idea from, but I've had them on long enough and I can't explain how fun it is to just start the car. The sound is pure muscle inside the car, but outside at WOT its frightening!
Good luck boys.. but If I was able to convince a shop, as well as Jeff for around $400... well you guys just need to work on your negotiating skills! I'd rather have the same shop sell and install then do it separately. Could just turn into a headache.

Yup - you see what you stated with your dam great deal !!!!!! Onto the whys. . . I would imagine that its easier to address a local shop with "My buddy had his shop do it and here are the PN's they used" then to let some of these guys fumble around with the dirty, outdated magnaflow book. Worst case is you end up with the equivalent of a bad hair transplant - couple of nasty chrome cylynders hanging precariously close to the pavement. BTW - if anyone needs help with negotiating, just do it Joisy style " U gonna install dis for 4 C-notes or what?!" and then slam his head into the counter a few times. So far that's worked for me . . . . except at shoprite, they still want cash.

After taking my laptop with pics to two different shops I came to the conclusion I needed 14"/ OVAL / POLISHED / OFF SET INLET CENTER... ( i dont know if I said that right.. but that means one end of the pipe is not in the center.. the other end is in the center)
Anyways here is the setup I went with...
Magnaflow #14225 which is 2 1/4" inlet/outlet. After searching for hours my best price was here:
http://www.allexhaust.com/magnaflow/
Enter the promo code "magnaflow" and you get two of them shipped for $158. Make sure you buy this or a similar polished version because you can see the exhaust from standing behind the car.
As far as the tips go.. Tips were quite expensive at local shops so I got a set off ebay. Keep in mind that when you measure the outlet on the cayenne S there is only like a 7" opening if that. Most the tips the guy had were bigger than that so you want a tip with a 3" outlet so it will have a total of 6" width give or take. Most tips have a 3.5" outlet with a 7" width.. that will probably be cutting it close. I personally think I got a killer deal on the tips I bought.. here at the tips I picked up..

anyone else should get them before the sale is over use coupon code "magnaflow" it worked for me!
