Everyone,
I posted a week ago asking if anyone else has had issues with a standard Magnaflow Catback with fitment problems. I installed mine, and the rear swaybar hits the driver's side tailpipe when going over a bump. I spent almost 3 hours trying to re-adjust it with no luck. I called Hottexhaust.com and Magnaflow and both claimed that they had never heard of any fitment issues. Jeff at Hottexhaust has been great to deal with and he is sending me another system to see if mine was just a fluke. After getting so many responses back from Stangnet, I am a little leary that the new system is going to solve the problem. Looking at pictures of other systems on the internet, the Magnaflow appears to have the tightest curve that goes up over the axle, and thus puts it too close to the swaybar. Just laying under the car, you can see how the system could be bent differently to alleviate any clearance issues. I am going to contact Magnaflow to discuss but am sure I'm not going to get anywhere with them.
I guess I will ask another question then, assuming the new system fits the same way (Bad) is there another stainless steel catback system out there that produces the same tone and quietness that the Magnaflow system does? I do already have a catted Magnaflow X on the car as well. I really like the way the Magnaflow catback sounds. It is just barely louder than stock which I like. I don't like to have people know I am coming. Additionally I drive the car to Cali a lot from AZ (Already have 42,000 miles on her) and a 2000-2500 rpm drone can not be tolerated. What other systems out there are quiet that people haven't had fitment issues with?
Thanks again Stangnet,
Kevin.
