I do not have that specific Magnaflow system on my LT4. I have a custom designed (by me) system using all Magnaflow components.

I have been using Magnaflow for many years. Have always been happy with the construction, looks & durability. I also happen to like the sound!

While driving your Vette, please be sure to SAVE the WAVE!

Thanks for your input, the price seems fair for a catback system, plus a lifetime warranty...wife wanted to know what I wanted for my

or maybe axle back with an x-pipe?

I've got Magnaflow mufflers hooked up to the stock system on my 92. They look and sound great but they do drone in the cabin. Not sure if the complete Magnaflow system will though.

I have this very same system on my 96 CE. I'm very pleased with the quality as well as the note produced. I upgraded from the stock system due to a blown resonator. Lastly, I have not noticed any significant drone
and really like the low end frequency that is produced.

One particularly nice feature of the Magnaflow cat-back system is the "X-pipe" which is situated at the front of the resonator.

If you look at prices just for the "X-pipe" you would be surprised. An expensive little piece.

I put this system on my 92 Convertible about 3 weeks ago...except I just purchased the axle back. I had already removed my resonator and installed an X in its' place...I'm very happy with the sound. Does have some drone but the trade off for the noise it make is great..Plus the tips and stainless mufflers look great hanging under the rear.

Thats a good price and a quality exhaust system. I have that system on my 85, the only thing I did different is cut out the resonator and welded in two 3 inch pieces of stainless pipe in its place.
