Thanks for your inputs. I had another NA MR2 previously which I had made a pretty nice sounding exhaust using mandrel bent tubing and a Magnaflow muffler for $130. But I supported the muffler from hangers instead of rigidly mounting the muffler to the body (like the stock exhaust). Within 10,000 miles I had broken 2 studs back at the exhaust manifold. I can't say if it was the muffler mounting or 3 seasons of auto-crossing that broke the studs, but I think there's a reason for the factory Toyota muffler mounting.

Anyone else have any experience with this Bosal muffler?

Thanks,
