That is not Magnaflow, looks like Flowmaster and more specifically the 80 series muffler. Assuming it is, I wouldn't bother.

It's your call OP but from someone who once owned a flowmaster catback for an LT1, from a sound and quality standpoint I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy.

If you are desperate to get rid of the stock muffler but don't mind paying someone to weld it up then go for it. The "sounds like a redneck truck idling" gets old really fast though.

That's definitely a Flowmaster with Magnaflow tips welded onto it. The previous owner of my car installed the same thing. Even if it wasn't damaged, I'd pass on it. They rust easily, and don't sound that great anyway.
