Problems with Magnaflow?

**bduncs4** · #1: 02-28-2013, 10:29 AM

Hey Guys,
I am finally starting to do some mods to my LGT (other than cosmetic) and I'm going to start off with a Magnaflow catback exhaust system. Have any of you guys had problems with it hanging too low? If so, how did you fix this?

Thanks in advance!

wrap a screw type hose clamp around the rubber hanger and tighten the screw.

I had a magnaflow. Fit fine. Did have to clamp the passenger side muffler as it would hang a little lower.

Mine fits snug but I do have a small exhaust leak at the DP clamp. Need to find a bigger gasket to put in there.

stuck686 Do you have any recommendations of where to have my catback installed in the Twin Cities area?

Thank you for the responses everyone!

Sell Magnaflow (If you've already bought it), buy Tactrix cable for $120 and get e-tuned for stage 1. Or add in a DP and get e-tuned for that to go stage 2. Still comes in under the cost of a Magnaflow turbo-back and will actually give you a big lift in performance.

^ +1 to this, unless you already have a downpipe do this first.

edit: all you need for install is a 2 jack stands and a floor jack. Might as well buy them now because they are essential tools for any garage.

Even ramps would work
