magnaflow exhaust fitment issues I just put a new exhaust on my car since I had a huge dent in one of the primaries of the headers. I go ceramic coated headers(pacesetters same as before) without all the EGR and AIR crap on them they are so much nicer without them.
I picked up an edelbrock y-pipe and had it modified to fit the 3 inch headers. The fitment is way better than the pacesetters y-pipe. I wish I would have got the new texas speed one after see it but I had already ordered this one.
I had a flowmaster exhaust before but it was just load and annoying didnt really have a good sound to me. So I put a Magnaflow on it and it sounds so much better. I have 0 rasp, I was so amazing at that.
The only issue I have is the magnaflow fits like crap. Not one of the brakets lined up right and one of the tail pipes sticking 1/2 inch further out than the other. The flowmaster fit on with not one issue I don't understand why this magneflow is fitting like this. It looks like I will have to take it to an exhaust shop to have them fit it up better. Kind of stupid I have to do that since it is a bolt-on exhaust. One of the tail pipes actually looks longer than the other lol.
It really does sound a lot better than the flowmaster to me just fits like crap.
I will post some pics and a sound clip as soon as I get a hold of something that can record sound.

oh yes i do love my sound though just a tad bit quiet at times, but hopefully lt's will fix that and it seems like i have a bit of drone only at about 1300-1500 rpm or so when easily accelerating, so hoping a y pipe with a good merge will fix that
That's what an exhaust shop is for - they're pretty cheap exhausts, after all.
