I have been researching this system for my C5. My concern is the same as yours. The tips on this system hang soooo low. Sounds like that can not be adjusted???

The Magnapack system is a dual tip cat-back exhaust that has 2 resonators instead of mufflers and also the TruX.

This pic seems to look a little better than the others I've seen. Can you provide a pic standing about 20' back?

Those are too low. Should be adjustable. If nothing else, looks like it'd be easy to tweak them up.

It really shouldn't be that hard for any good muffler shop to bend the pipes up slightly.

I've made the decision to hold off on this system. The Borla stingers and XR-1 systems along with the B&B Bullets look much better. It sucks that Magnaflow screwed the pooch on these.
