I have this setup.

I just used to stock rubber hangers. I spent some time trying different ways of hooking the mufflers up (AP2 hangers have 2 holes on the bottom instead of 1 on the AP1), and after some trial-and-error I got the cans hang decently even (still not perfect though). I also spray painted the y-pipe with a heat-high black paint so the ugly grey piping doesn't stand out from behind.

It's a nice sounding exhaust. Very deep especially when warmed up. I don't have any sound/video clips at the moment but if you would like to hear it I can record some.

*edit: CHILIBEANZ's suggestion of painting the cans black sounds like a great idea... since you wouldn't be able to tell that the mufflers are not completely aligned & can retain the "stock" look

Mine looks nothing like that. That's weird. The piping looks like it was painted before. I'm wondering if there were different versions of this at one point.

It sounds great when u pair it with a header and test pipe. Not obnoxiously loud and has a nice deep note to it. I just painted the cans flat black in order to keep the appearance stock.
Hahah I did the same thing to my cans this summer, but i did it just because i thought it looked real nice behind the NFR paint.

Thats interesting because my Magnaflow looks nothing like that, the cans are the same but the piping it self is completely different.

I forgot to mention that my piping are (should be) made by Spugen... so I'm not surprised when you guys say it looks different from yours.

How about the muffler & tip? Are those the same?

Sweet, I'd love to hear some clips or some drive by vids. I really want this exhaust ever since I hear a magnaflow on my friends Type-R.

Yeah that's the only thing that's the same. The cans and tips. The piping comes with clamps and looks like a different type of Stainless is used too.
