Default Magnaflows On!

Got the Magnaflow Catback system at autoanything.com for $600 with free shipping

Only problem I have is the driver side muffler hangers are short and almost falling out of the rubber hangers. I might just need to adjust it though.

Cool

Yes indeed, it gets louder. I installed mine this past Thursday and when we fired it up in the garage it was like sweet music to my ears. It had that low rumble that reverberated in the garage. It's the only GP that I've heard sound like that in Philly. I bet you I'll there will be plenty more GP putting them on and running around Philly, soon.

Believe me, I don't need it louder then it is. It's just right for me.

hey, i had the same problem you had with my driver side muffler being too far in where it was falling off the rubber hanger. it was bad that when i was driving, it would inch it way off the hanger but not falling off thank goodness.. I couldnt take having to look like an idiot checking my muffler everywhere i stopped when i was on the road. i tried adjusting the pipe but couldnt get it to work out.. So i called my local muffler shop and they welded on a small washer onto the muffler bars where the hangers go so the rubber hangers wont slide off anymore.. I had the exhaust for over 4 months now and its still working fine..

I just put on my magnaflow cat-back this weekend also. I am completely in love with it. A quick question though. I just installed the K&N intake also. Do I have to unplug my battery for the computer to learn? or will it learn on it own?

I had the y pipe shoved in too far so after pulling it out a little it held on the hangers fine.
EXTRA I put a piece of fuel line and a small radiator hose clamp on the hanger to keep it from sliding off before I adjusted it out.

When I put mine on, it did the same thing. What I did was brought the system about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch towards the back and its fine.

Put mine on last weekend as well. Have to say I'm not that impressed. It's certainly loud enough (actually too loud for my taste when accelerating) and sounds great at idle. Cruising down the highway it sounds too much like a sick tractor when DOD is engaged - the V4 drone really gets on my nerves.
