Hey guys I figure ill take a break from my cars other problems and try to focus on this. I installed a magnflow catback about a month ago. Anyways it said to use the stock mounting hardware. Well anyways this does not match up at all. Mine did have some new tips on the car from the previous owner. Anyways I had to go buy some cheap fittings but they make it look horrbile. The passenger side tip hangs low unless you point it up and the drivers side is angled to the outside of the car and rubs on the bumper. Has anyone else had this trouble. I am going to wait for some money and get the car running again since it now does not start up at all,then take it to a shop to get some hangers made. Anyone else have this trouble. I would think a good cat back exhaust would be able to mount up to the stock locations.

 

it should mount up pretty close I think your jerry rigged hangers are the problem

mine fit perfect but i don't have a F bird so mine just comes under the bumper but its nice and square and level

 

mine fit no problem with the stock location hangers. everything is nice and even

 

Alright it must have been the cheap replacement muffler and tips that were on the car when I bought it. It looks like they made some new hangers for that one. I guess its to the exhaust shop.

 

The Magnaflows are well known not to line up correctly/evenly. I had to toy with mine and tweak the heck out of it to make it look decent.

 

mine looked the exact same all cockeyed. the best that could be done was to have a mullfer shop fix the hanger a bit then tackweld the piping in some areas instead of clamps and i still have alignment problems because it was apparently made for the stock style offset tips which i do not have. slant cut truck tips FTL.

 

sounds like more money to spend that I don't have. I wish I knew how to weld.

 

Yep mine too.

 

I just had some new brackets made up and it ran me about $35 w/ the install

 

yeah just of matter of getting running to go there. It looks like ill be pulling the trans out for a slipping clutch.

 

Mine fit pretty well,had to trim the LH pipe at the muffler is all.Best cat back I have had so far,fits very well and tucks up way high.Sounds good too
