Default tsp headers to magnaflow muffler sound

Put on texas speed long tubes on 7-14-10 and now and just getting around too putting the rest on . From the ory back its 3' over the axle with a single in and single out center too center magnaflow muffler dumped immediatly after the maggy .. trying this for now cause it was cheap and not too much on the pocket .. they tucked the ory up a lil tighter and made for a real nice fitment. will get more pictures later and sound clips. If it does not sound good im going to put a borla xr-1 in its place but for now itll do.









sorry for the fuzzy pics.. cell phone will get more pictures when its finished
tell me your y pipe setups and pics if possible always like a good comparison!



update..

loving the sound need some few tweaks still alot of vibration against the car..

Sound clips?how does it sound,I love magnaflow and I think you will be happy with it,the only thing I don't like about magnaflow is how quite it is,but I wonder if that setup will be a lil louder than the average maggycatback,I know dumped off the y it sounds pretty good,

You can adjust that Y-pipe fairly easily. What my father and I did when we were installing it was took a pry bar under the driver side part of the y pipe, and put a piece of 2x4 there to hold it down. I then did that on the other side as well. Lastly, I took a floor jack and at the collector jacked that way up. After releasing the floor jack and the wood, the y-pipe sat almost perfect.

I have no issues with clearance on the floor whatsoever, but with stock motor mounts and a hard shift to second gear the y-pipe hits the floor. I think I am actually going to tack weld the y-pipe in place so that I don't have to run the clamps, and that will give me some more ground clearance as well, for when I lower the car.

Sounds like you've got a rattle but apart from that, sounds great!
