Because I was cheap at the time. I wish I had gotten something other than the Flowtech, since the bolts are not long enough to accommodate the e-cutout, and a turndown. I'll get around to going QTP eventually. I've got a few more pressing things at the moment.

With either of those setups, you can't go wrong. It is nice with my setup that you can be obnoxiously loud one second, but can be quiet if you need to (ie. cops, or if you'd like to carry out a conversation in the car).

Here is a friends 98 Z28 that we just completed installing Magnaflow Catback, Jet Hot LTs and ORY. I like it.

very nice video's

can't wait to get my exhaust. was the exhaust an easy install? because i looked at magnaflow's instructions online and it said something about cutting a pipe, is this true? and about how long did just the catback take to install?

Magnaflow is one of the best priced and well made cat back's I have used. But IMO it still sounds like ****! looking into a SLP D/D

The only pipe we cut was to get the old exhaust off. The over-axle pipe we cut in two different spots to get the factory muffler and I-pipe off the car. You won't need it because the Magnaflow System comes with new. Sawzall takes car of it in a blink.
The install was pretty simple. I-pipe to Over-axle pipe. Over-axle to muffler. Then add the muffler exits w/tips. Attatch the hangers on the exits to the rubber mounts. Adjust to the look you like and you're done. The only trouble we had was with one of the Driverside hangers. The rod (the one closer to the axle) that hooks into the factory rubber mount seems to be way too tall. Dave wants different tips so when he takes the car to a shop to have them installed he's gonna have that hanger modified to fit correctly. We have a large Zip Tie holding it with the mount for now and it's not going anywhere, so like I said we're happy with it. Pretty easy.

We cut the I-pipe before the axle and then found we couldn't get the muffler off the car without cutting it after the axle as well. I would say cut after the axle first to get the muffler off, then see if the I-pipe will come out as well. I guess if it doesn't, cut that ****** again. Good Luck...
