Question:

My muffler I Im sure is shot. The pipe is rusted off at the back of the car were the pipe goes into the rear muffler. Its a 2003 and original muffler with 235,000 miles on it. I feel I should replace the entire system from the engine back. Is the stainless steel magna flow a good quality system for me. Im not paying 12 1400.00 bucks at a dealer. Thats nuts. I want a good muffler though that will last 8 years or so. The magna flow is this the best I can do and not go broke.

I would first have your entire exhaust system inspected to determine if it all needs to be replaced or just some portions of the system.

The Magnaflow Cat-Back System part # MF15807 would be an excellent choice for a cat-back system, but thats only one part of the exhaust system.

You have manifolds (which we don't carry), the catalytic converter portion of the system (part # MF49461 for your vehicle), and then the cat-back system like part # M15807.

Magnaflow exhaust components are of excellent quality and the fact that they are stainless steal means they will resist rust for a very long time.

I attached some FAQ articles you should find pretty helpful as well.
