exhaust install

Post by PvtPetelka »

I just picked up the magnaflow exhaust system and I'm planning on installing it tomorrow morn. However, I'm not really sure of the steps and I couldn't find any instructions here or in the box. Can somebody give me a hand?Thanks!

pvtpetelka - get some sound clips! I want to get a magnaflow cat back too. Also keep your receipts and stuff for it, the magnaflow resognator has a fairly high chance of breaking (baffling in side breaks apart) and its covered under warranty but they are sorta a little to happy about needing a reciept.

Don't be too worried about the resonator breaking. Maybe it has happened to some, but I installed mine over 3 years ago and it is just fine. Do keep the receipts in any case though.

Well, its installed, but the weather wont let me get a sound clip. Don't want you to confuse thunder with exhaust. Haha, I'm waiting for the rain to let up so I don't fry anything.
