Magnaflow Install & Pics

Installed the Magnaflow system with X-pipe the other day and I absolutely love the results. It’s has a nice deep rumble (not with that high pitch) its bit louder that stock with a nice ruble is how I would describe it. And the looks, well you be the judge.

Finally, I will like to give my boys at WPM a

I highly recommend their services. They do all type of work in this shop so check them out if you are in San Diego area and you need a shop with a lift

They don’t keep you in the waiting room drinking bad coffee you actually watch your car been worked and even participate.

Thanks for looking enjoy the pics

I have the same system on my 02 and love it, perfect sound and I can still talk to my girlfriend in the car without saying "WHAT?"

p.s. did they mean to spell "Performance" wrong on their sign?

Actually, I just start doing this since I got my C5 and I do enjoy looking at pics.. on this forum while I am working/on the phone.. I may not reply to all nonetheless; I enjoy threads with pictures.. so I guess I am doing my part to keep the forum excited.

An aftermarket exhuast system is one of the first mods every C5 should see.

How much of a horsepower increase did your exhaust provide?

There are guys on this forum that are more qualified to answer this question and hopefully someone will give us a typical number for my setup… I can tell you the car drives much better with the intake and now exhaust.. highly recommended combo!!
