Default Magnaflow's Installed. Pics Included.

Here they are, $160 bucks for install. They sound great! Inside the car they seem louder and I love the power they give off. Outside they are perfect also, not too loud but are noticeable. Here are the pics!!

Congrats. Did you have to tell them what I told you, to get it done?

Yep. This was a different shop, nationwide Bucky's. Told them to cut the flange right before the gasket. Only wish it was a little bit louder from the outside because inside the car you can hear it

What do you mean?

The only thing that I know should change it the fact that I need to go back to the shop in 1 week so they can realign the hangers, the rubber stretches from the heat according to them.

Dx3 had an experience with his magnaflows where they became louder over time.I think his is an isolated case because I have put on a dozen or so sets and know of a ton more and no one else has had this happen.

If you really want it louder on the outside have the resonators replaced with straight pipe.It wont get crazy louder but I think you'll be happy.

Yeah,

As LMSGuy said, mine increased in loudness significantly over the first couple of months. It started out sounding like a G35, and about 3 months later it was just sounding straight out mean

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will keep everything as is for a couple months and see if they do get louder over time. Now time to install L-Tuned Shocks/Springs
