Default Magnaflow...what a beautiful thing...check out pics!!

Well, Magnaflow has yet again proved itself to me!! This is the third LS1 car Ive had a Magnflow catback on, and all I can say is this system is top notch. Everything from looks...to fitment...to clearance...to sound. I removed my stock exhaust last night and installed the Magnaflow. I got a cool lil video of the start up so as soon as I figure out how to upload it I will post it. Anyway, I snapped some pics so yall can check it out. I am very impressed with how well it fits and clears all the other under-body components. All I can say is WOW WOW

nah still stock manifolds and y pipe. i will be running headers but i will be running a catted y pipe. the few extra hp i would gain with an ory pipe isnt worth the rasp. ill get a much more refined sound with a catted y pipe.

I like it! I would of considered one but um not a big fan of the redneck pick-up truck tips. I love the sound and the quality of the system also!

Good looking exhaust, though I'm not partial to the tips. I prefer slash cuts on a Camaro, but to each his own.

Looks nice. I love my magnaflow.
Are your tips centered? The left one on mine is a little off and it bugs the hell out of me.

They are slash cut

I like my Magnaflow, but it does rasp quite a bit with the LTs/ORY. I also had the over-the-axle pipe mounting point break off for some reason and pull a chunk of the pipe with it. I still need to get it fixed or get a new over the axle pipe. Not sure how it happened

I see you used the stupid muffler clamps that came with the system. I threw those away and put on some good torca clamps that don't put ridges in the pipes when you tighten them up. Good luck trying to get it apart after awhile.
