Magnaflow order? (bolt-on muffler only)

Post by utahindie »

Seems i cant find any knowledgeable people in my semi-small town when it comes to magnaflow exhaust. Does anyone know where i can purchase just the bolt-on section of the magnaflow cat-back system? I dont care all that much to chop-bolt-weild the other piece of pipe that comes along with the system. If it only comes with the complete set who would be the cheapest and closest to utah? thx million

It's either the complete cat-back (midpipe, resonator, muffler) or just a muffler. Either way, you'll be cutting something and possibly welding (muffler).

I have a magnaflow and Cut and Clamped and Bolted, I didn't do any welding. and i had it installed in about 45 min to an hourand if your not worried about money buy the full cat back and only install the muffer part that will bolt up to the flange, and don't install the resonator. or go out and get a Borla I think they just bolt up to the flange.just a suggestion.

Hrm... I reread my post and its not very detailed on what im looking for.I know with the full magnaflow cat-back system the muffler section bolts onto the flange of the resonator section which you then have to bolt-clamp-weld. What i am looking for is basically the muffler section or i guess you could call it the axle-back portion of the system. I do not know if they sell it seperate which was the reason for my posting.I have looked into Borla but thier muffler from what i saw requires cut-bolt-clamp-weld. Which i dont wish to do. My problem with the whole weld portion is there is only one welder in my town i trust to weld this together and he is super super busy and i would have to pay way too much to have it done. And i have heard magnaflow's with just being bolted on.... if its not done perfectly you get the most annoying sound from them.I have a feeling that im going to have to purchase the full cat-back system and just use the muffler section. So i guess now the only thing to do is find someone that sells it for cheap. Any help in that regard would be appreciated.again. thx million.
