Default Want different tips on Magnaflow Catback

I obviously was not paying attention when i ordered the magnaflow catback because I did not notice that the pipes are attatched to the tips. What would be the cheapest way I could get my own tips and possibly either still have the pipes or similar ones.

you could have a shop fab you some new tailpipes and put whatever tips you want on them. That's why I hated my Magnaflow too...you didn't have a choice, except to keep the cannons they gave you.

I know they offer a quad tip but it is expensive as all hell. Anyone know about how much is would cost to get some tips made from a shop?

It is really going to depend on where you live. It ranges so much because you are basically paying for labor. In MD I couldnt find a place to welb my tips on for less than $100, but down here in FL the first place I called did it for $25.

you could cut the magnaflow tips back and put new tips on over them.

I had the magnaflow catback with truck tips. I hated them and i eventually got the corsa clones. They cut the long *** tips from where they started, added new tailpipes and welded my new tips on at the end of the piping.

Probably $50+ for labor then add in whatever you need for parts & tips.

I had Corsa 3.5" Clones put on my Magnaflo.

They bent new tail pipes up.





I love them.
