So I looked at my muffler...nowhere do I see a spot that says magnaflow on it. I know the mufflers usually say it on the top but mine doesnt. I know its stainless because its not rusting where everything else under the car seems to be(love nebraska :/ ). So now Im worried I dont have a magnaflow exhaust...not only that but that im also gonna have to buy a new catback when I get my 3" headers....I cant tell if its a 3" or not. The piping looks slightly bigger by the muffler, but the piping is rusty so im thinking im just seeing things because magnaflow is all stainless isnt it? The exhaust sounds like every magnaflow setup ive seen on ls1sounds without headers....but I just dont know

Im a little pissed because im really starting to think i didnt get what I payed for.
damn that sucks bro, looks like you spent 450 to have a flowmaster muffler welded in.

Should have cost you $90 out the door. A real Magnaflow catback comes with all new pipes and tips as well.
