Mine came out fine at 100k without soaking.

 

You got lucky as that is not typical.

 

I'd say you got lucky too my passenger rear broke without even touching it. It was just hanging out. Tried everything to get it out and was going to say eff it and put it back together. But not doing stuff right bothers me so I pulled the heads. Off to AI for the 232cc porting and milling them .015".

 

If I didn't already have one broke I'd be more willing to try it myself. But after having the car on a lift last night to throw the cat back on, eff that I'm not messing with it and having a good chance of more bolts breaking too.

Btw MORE than happy with the magnaflow, for $680 shipped the sound quality of that exhaust is perfect. They really did a awesome job, now I can't wait to get the cat less headers on

 

Is the magnaflow an ebay best offer score?

 

Not sure in understanding your question. Are you asking where is the cheapest price? If so I got mine at hottexhaust and use cupoun code chgp1 and it's like $680 shipped I think

 

Ebay is a popular internet auction site lol...some vendors will sell cat back exhausts lower than msrp through the best offer option on ebay, thought maybe you got it that way. Thanks for the info.
