Def wont run properly after disconnecting the battery- this is normal! After about 30 or so miles the computer will allow more timing etc. After disconnecting my battery, my car would barely start or even keep running! It cleared up though, like the others stated. Nothing to do with the catback!

I bought magnaflow because it was stainless steel and had a higher flow than louder types. Looking at it, its just so smooth. a tiny piece in the muffler and thats it. what you want is optimal flow. forget those guys and gals out there with loudmouths and chambered. they are interested in show off. be interested in speed and power. looks silly to have a loud car that gets beat by a cobalt ss. you dont want ppl saying "I wonder why that car was so loud. it wasnt fast at all" now do ya?

some humor for your decision. good call on the magnaflow!

I had the mag on the 98 car and I liked it. As already said disconnecting the batt means the pcm has to do its thing. Im glad its all good now for you!

I have ARH long tubes no cats, 160 tstat and magna flows with a Callaway Honker CAI. I just finished installing an LS2 TB and a FAST 102 intake on my 97 C5. Just had the car tuned after the intake install. Had the limiter uped to 6800 rpm. I am very pleased with it. Sounds great. I think people should make these LS1s breath right off the bat. It really wakes them up.
