Re: Magnaflow 3rd gen Cat Back

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.

Re: Magnaflow 3rd gen Cat Back

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

Re: Magnaflow 3rd gen Cat Back

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

Re: Magnaflow 3rd gen Cat Back

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

Re: Magnaflow 3rd gen Cat Back

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.

Re: Magnaflow 3rd gen Cat Back

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)

Re: Magnaflow 3rd gen Cat Back

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