I just received my kit. The instructions say that it will work for dual or single cat cars. I've found that the intermediate pipe is about 4 inches short of reaching the factory y-pipe coming off the cats.

You can get the kit at hottexhaust.com where it asks for a coupon code enter "veedub" SLP-GTA, I do have dual cats, the connection is a slip fit. Here is a picture of the connection. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2.../Magnaflow.jpg

LMSkyliner · 06-12-2008, 09:41 AM

Anyone have this running yet? any performance numbers? I really want to see how this stacks up against the hooker system i was planning to order.

I got mine today on ups. All in all it looks to be a nice system. Clean bends, huge tips and well made. However, the outlets on the muffler are only 2.5"od and 2.25"id I thought they would be 3". The inlet is 3"id .
I'll post pics later

since u ordered from hottexhaust, how fast did u get it? when did u order it b/c i ordered from them on tuesday but havent got a tracking # or anything yet, aside from the confirmation email

BMAN90RS · 06-15-2008, 11:47 AM

whoever ordered from hottexhaust, did u get it yet b/c i called 2 days ago they said it was shipped out the day before, and i would receive the tracking number that night but i still havent gotten any word about my order besides the confirmation page. please tell me this company didnt just screw me

jamieschott · 06-16-2008, 02:27 PM

I ordered mine along with a HFC from HottExhaust on 30 may and received it on 6 Jun.

TPeye · 06-16-2008, 05:09 PM

If you ordered from Hottexhaust, they don't send a tracking number. Do like I did, call and ask for it. BMAN90RS, my exhaust arrived in just over a week.

I always heard the magnaflows and the hookers provide the best power, and that flowmasters are the worst (though they are the loudest)

BUT, if your already dropping $$$$ on a stainless cat-back, just drop the extra $100 and get a 3" highflow cat, it will be well worth the money TRUST ME!!!

And honestley, you might as well get headers and a y-pipe to complete the set-up cause you wont be happy untill you do

nascar2496 · 06-18-2008, 02:29 PM

I like the magnaflow cat back, i got one for a forth gen and just made some changes. The stock hangers in the rear are just about the same positions, mine were in stock places but not stock so it worked. the only difference is the cat, 4th gens have the 's' pipe that i replaced with a 45* pipe right to my cat. sounds really good, very deep and if you drive sanely it can be pretty quiet..when you get on it its loud and people know your coming. ill try to get a vid soon.

Sorry, can't trust you because, there is no such thing as a "high flow cat".
They are all built the same now. In Calif. they even made them stop putting "high flow" on the box.

Can't trust him? Geez....Mr Paranoid, are you?

Aftermarket cats, such as the Magnaflow, outflow the factory, 20 yr old cats, even when they were brand new. They out flow a facory replacement one from Autozone or such.

So yes....high flow.

Dyno Don · 06-19-2008, 11:42 AM

Uh...no
They are all built with the monolythic core now and have been for years.

The only difference in cats now is the quality of construction. (the case)

Magnaflow being the best in my opinion. (aka Car Sound)

In some cases the factory ones will outflow the aftermarket ones just because of the size (larger area to move the volume thru)

TPeye · 06-20-2008, 10:34 AM

Based on this chart, there is a difference in high flow and stock converters. http://www.installuniversity.com/ins...st3.132001.htm

Zrated83 · 06-23-2008, 05:42 PM

I just ordered one from hottexhaust

86firebird350 · 06-23-2008, 06:01 PM

ive been checking the web to see who has the best price for this system. autoanything.com has it for cheaper than any other site ive seen thus far.

firebird896 · 08-18-2008, 12:27 AM
