nope. i ordered it from a local dealership. they werent sure if it would fit or not but they said they would try and if it didnt they would just charge me labor and not for the muffler. but it fits fine (obviously lol) they guy that put it on said he only had to make an adjustment to a gasket or something

yeah pretty much. it will be a little different than that bc it is two different engines, but it sounds mostly the same. It gives the R18 a nice, deep growl instead of a weak sound.
