Default New catback*PIC*

Did my magnaflow today.I had to cut the flowmaster out,cause it was welded.
Im gonna tweak it a bit more,But i think it looks pretty clean.
Not too bad for my first catback install.....what do ya guys think?

A catback is from the end of the y pipe backwards. A muffler is just a muffler.

Nice work bro, the best thing about Magnaflow is that it sounds best at WOT and it goes GREAT with any LT's that are available.........

Thanks bro.....I did it all by my lonesome.I have limited mechanical experience and its a "learn as i go"process.I would like to say that owning an LS1 and being a member of LS1TECH,has taught me volumes about cars in general.
I also owe a good friend of mine for showing me things "hands on".Hes a gifted dude and i feed off of his talents as much as possible.Thanks, to everyone for the feedback!
