Default Getting ready to buy Vibrant muffler, Got a question?

Whats up guys,

I am getting ready to purchase a Vibrant Flat black muffler. Currently I have an Apexi N1 catback on the car, its been on there for 6 years roughly and the dumb canister muffler just keeps rusting and rusting. I am gonna buy a vibrant flat black stealth muffler and just have an exhaust shop cut the N1 canister off and weld in the vibrant.

I have the resonator and cat. converter in place so hopefully it will be rather quite with the vibrant attached. My question is: I have seen on some of the Vibrant suppliers sites that I can order the exhaust hangers, gaskets, etc. Is this needed? Or will the muffler shop just weld hangers on themselves?

Heres a link to what I am getting:

Any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone knows a site that has a cheaper price, let me know

muffler shop can do it all, just keep an eye on the work i've never seen quality from a muffler shop when it comes to welding.

Good point. Yeah the last thing I want is for them to screw up my new muffler. I would be pissed. Wish I could weld so I could do it myself but sadly I can't. I had to have the flange re-welded on my cat. converter when I did the swap, I had cut the flange off and marked it and had the dude reweld it and he did a good job so I will go back there and see if I can get him to do the muffler for me.

Thanks dude!
