hi to all, the magnaflows are here, being installed as we speak. i could'nt take the drone from the mac exhaust, so i'm just replacing the mufflers. the magnaflows are real nice looking as far as mufflers go, almost chrome like. i'm also replacing the outer tie rods and installing moog ones with grease fittings as well as tapping the ball joints and installing grease fittings in them with the hope that the horrible creaking i get when stopping suddenly and turning goes away. we'll see if greased up tie rods and ball joints help stop the noises....just thought i would share...anyone else having creaking front ends??i only have 5k miles on my 03 gt....

You should get the Steed X2 ball joints since you are going to need an alignment anyway. I replace mine in less that 2 hours. If you have acces to a press (or anything to get the old ones out and the new ones in you can easily do it yourself) and then you will have a little rake to the car. Plus they already have the grease fitting in them. I would think that tapping them would leave metal shaving in the ball joints themselves. Just my .02
