I'm getting the magnaflow catted X-pipe and the catback next month. I know the the paks are not for the foxes :mad: , but is there any way that they can be modified to be put on or am i stuck with the regular magnaflows. If i am stuck with the regular magnaflows, are they loud enough as the american thunder or louder? Keep in mind i have the cobra rear bumper. So if the mods for the paks (if possible) were to be concealed by the GT bumper will it be with the cobra? I called Houston performance and they said that they can't do it because of the inlet/outlet on the mufflers, but i wanna make sure before i give up on the paks.
 
the magnapack cat back has special flowtubes and tailpipes to set the mufflers on an angle to simulate an offset inlet and outlet. it would probably be possible to custom install a set on your car, but let me tell you that they sound HORRID on 5.0's. there is a clip of magnapacks on a 5.0 on mustangexhaust.com and it sounds really bad IMO.

There are only 2 clips of 5.0's with magnaflow on mustangexhaust.com and they're not of the paks, just the regular magnaflows, or am i missing it. I don't think so though. Please correct if i'm wrong. So far the two opinions say it sounds like **** and it sounds good.
 
I have magnaflows with a catted H and it's alot louder than stock but it's not as loud as flowmasters. It sounds real thumpy with the h pipe. Some people don't like the H with Magnaflows but I like it.
