Magnapack Install Question

[GreekStang85]

Hey guys i ordered my magnapack exhaust and it will be here on friday and i would like to know is the install easy? is it all bolt on?? will i need to weld anything? information about this would be great..........thanks

Catback system? Sweet. It's cake. No welding necessary. You'll need a pipe cutting tool to get the stock system off just past the mufflers. That was the biggest pain for me. A sawsall would have been an asset. Otherwise, have a blast! Oh, should be common sense, but don't place the jack stands under the axle.

Install is really easy. The hardest part for me was getting the stock exhaust off. You can either cut it or drop the rear axle low enough to remove it.

It's just bolt on

where do you cut??

 

[XTONKAX]

where do you cut??

Just after the stock mufflers. The kit will come with instructions. Really easy.

orhave your muller shop do it. I had my muffler shop do it for 35 bucks. It was welded in and took 30 min

does it sound nice with the stock mufflers connected or should i change those?

Now you've confused me. Which magnaflow system did you buy? Catback? X-Pipe? Tips? I assumed you bought the MagnaPack catback system, which comes with the MagnaPack mufflers, pipes, and tips.

i bought the magnapack catback system, man you confused me too, but yes it is the catback system

stock mufflers??? if you mean catalytic converters...i would suggest an o/r x pipe if you really want to wake up the neighbors!

Sorry 'bout that! I bought the Catted-X with the MagnaPack system. Took us about 4 hours to set it all up. I believe you'll be able to do it in much less time since you're not dealing with the manifold bolts for the stock H pipe. It's going to be louder than what you're used to, which is a good thing!

 

[GreekStang85]

sorry guys me and tonka had a miscommunication, but yes i was reffering to the catback exhaust, i have the x pipe next on the list for mods

 

[GreekStang85]

how does the catted x pipe sound with the system?? will it pass emissions??

Sounds good to me, but sound is subjective. Should pass emissions just fine. Heat the cats up before going in if you're concerned. I won't know until August.

o/r X with magnapacks =

 

[decoy562]

Have you got them installed yet?

I just got my car tested for emissions two days ago in MD... I have Magnaflow catted X and Magnapacks. Passed without a hitch. The guy rev'd the crap out of my car and kept smiling

I just got a digital camcorder and was playing with it earlier as I went to get food... Made a quick exhaust sound clip. If I had an extra set of hands I woulda got some better sound clips and if my engine wasn't cold (20 F here).

You need the 3ivX decoder from http://www.3ivx.com. Oh, the video itself is boring and low quality (faster download) because I'm learning the video editing software and there's nothing worthwhile to see. It's for the sound.
