Default Magnaflow catback install.

Installed my Magnaflow system this week. Part # 15658. Very easy install. The original catback came out easily without any probs. Remove three bolts, slide it forward, its out.

Overall I'm very happy with the MF system. Fitment was good with out any interference probs. The inlet collar on one of the mufflers was a 1/4" longer than the other. It hit the inside radius on the end of the Y pipe where it slides on, limiting how far I could push it on. This caused the tips to extend to far out for my liking. I simply switched mufflers from one side to the other and solved my prob.

The sound is just what I was looking for. Yes, there is resonance in the cabin. It may offend some, don't bother me at all. With the top down resonance is non existent.

I have to give 95NOSvette a big THANK-YOU. He saved me some cash on my purchase. Thanks Joe I owe you one!

I ordered just the mufflers, and hooking them into my EM LT, RT cats and Xpipe. I hope they sound as good as yours.
