Time to Customize...Magnaflows on With Pics

Post by Truckin1999 »

Well the new Vibe has only received one oil change so far, but I already have to start modding. I already did the tints as soon as it got home. But after tweeking my little bro's Grand Prix including installing headers which made the thing grumble pretty good. (It already had flowmasters) I feel the need to improve the sound of the Vibe. So in exchange for me tearing his motor apart and freshening it up, he is buying me the Magnaflow cat-back. I ordered it last night from NEA which is in Western MI so hopefully it can make it to my place in Eastern MI by the end of the week. Can't wait! May also get a mid-gate spoiler pretty soon as well.

The Magnaflow is great, although I'd prefer it to be louder.

I didn't post in your intro thread, so....Welcome to GenVibe!! Bartering is a great way to get new mods. Nice to see a new modding cycle is beginning while mine is just ending...

Well its on and I love it! Its not too loud and ricey. It does give it a little grumble. Sounds great for a little 4-Popper. When I first started it, it seemed quiet. But after driving it I think it is loud enough, without attracting the attention of Johhny Law. Thanks for the welcomes guys!I didn't get any pics because I didn't bring the camera to the shop, and it was too dirty anyways. Got her cleaned up now so I'll try to snap some pics tomorrow. The spoilers come next......
