After weeks of asking around, listening to every cat-back sound clip known to man, and taking the advice from people that seemed to know what they were talking about, the purchase was made. $500 of cold cash netted my installer the parts, installation, and a $10 tip to them for doing such an awesome job.
It took an hour for them to finish, they had a little problem getting the tips onto the tail pipes. Other than that, it went quick and easy. Once it was all straight, we found the driver side mounting rod for the tip was against the heat deflector of the gas vapor filter. Since that would have made some vibration, they used a saw and removed half of the rod, it wasn't needed anyhow since the kit gives you plenty of length for adjustments. Then they tack welded, just a small spot, to make sure it stayed put.
Pacing back and forth, eagerly wanting my car back on the ground, I couldn't wait to hear it. It looks so awesome connected to my Bassani X-Pipe.
The moment came and they lowered the car, turn of the key, and I was instantly satisfied with idle sound, a deep powerful sound, yet not loud at all. I was in a hurry to pay the guys and get out of there!
I started the car, backed out and eased onto the road. Oh yea, big time improvement over the flowmaster 2 chambers. Although the flowmasters sounded good with stock h-pipe w/cats, it was just too raspy with my new x-pipe wo/cats. A mile later I was hitting the on rap to the four lane highway.... the wait was over... to the floor the gas peddle went.... WOW!!!
A very powerful growl that will make it known that this snake bites! The straight through design has stainless steel meshing that absorbs lots of the sound at idle and low rpm cruises... easily talk to your lady going down the highway... but punch it... and the gases fly straight through the muffler.
Thanks Magnaflow for such awesome craftsmanship and quality product!
