Probably kinda ho-hum for many but I'm excited! I want my truck to have a nicer tone (wasn't looking for louder persay).
After a lot of research and finding out dealers aren't as easy to find here in Canada as online and in the US, I inadvertently found a local supplier at a great price..with one (just one!) in stock. It was funny cause I contacted a well respected local installer first to see if they sold & installed Magnaflow among other performance mufflers. He said do you want a whole catback magnaflow cause we can order. But if you just want a muffler, here's (dealer in calgary) whom everyone is getting them locally from and we'll install it all in for 133 bucks including our parts and labour. So I head to the dealer and we are looking at different part numbers and options and he keeps talking about 14 and 18" magnaflow kits and mufflers and 2-3 weeks to get it in. I said I'm sure there's a 22, but he wasn't finding it. So I look the part number up and show him my phone...can you get this one? He looks it up, and says I have one in stock matter of fact. I say price? He says $177. I say....sold! So about 310 bucks for the muffler professionally installed.
I called Magnaflow btw about the muffler warranty card as it was confusing the heck out of me. I was happy to hear the csr say, honestly? just keep your installer and dealer receipts and if any problem arises regarding a warranty issue, that's all you'll need.
ps- I mentioned to the local dealer that they didn't come up anywhere on searches for a Magnaflow dealer. He said, I know. We are seeing that more and more with various companies where they are pushing and supporting online sellers and less the local guys. Kinda sad. I have no problem buying stuff online. But some of it's really hard to get here compared to the US, especially if it's speciality items. And it's nice when you can just walk into a store and they say "here's the part you want, right now!"
