just got my magnaflow exhaust system

will post pics when i get it on and hopefully have a video

 

nice present to come home to, i've been eyeballing this kit for my car too. let us know how you like it!

 

I just got the same Magnaflow kit for my 92 Camaro...... I'm looking for a nice after market Y Pipe for my Headers I just purchased. Any Ideas?

 

Very nice set up, I'm sure it will sound amazing.
Just for future refrance if you "stack" the photos you wont streach the page like this.

 

Got it on!






working on getting the video up, should be up soon

 

Congrats... just wondering though, in the first pic it looks like the over axle pipe is welded to the muffler and there are u clamps holding the tailpipes on! Any reason for this?

 

I was looking into edelbrock headers and y pipe combo

its clamped and there are two welds there on front and back of the pipe, but that only part of the exhaust that has any sort of weld on it. shop did it idk why but o well.

 

I Have those headers and y pipe mated with my Magnaflow cat - back and couldn't be happier with the setup.

 

Check out the hooker 2055's as well:

Thanks Guys for the suggestions.... I'm gonna try and put my Magnaflow Cat back on tomorrow.

 

Nice! How do you like the sound?

 

heres the video for you's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BccNV8nlBY4 sorry it took sooo long.

 

Sounds Great!

 

welcome to the magnaflow family!

 

"She will be mine. Oh yes, she will be mine."

Err, I mean, I need to get me a set of those. Might as well since I've already got the Hooker 2055s to put on and still need to install a cat since the PO just replaced it with a pipe...

But, nice ride! Sounds great. Maybe 1A should hire you on as a marketing consultant because I'm sold!

Edit: Forgot to ask, what's the part number on those?

 

Part # is 16829
got mine off eBay, for around $360

macneilbibi,
Just a friendly suggestion . When you post photos to the side like in post 13 it stretches the page like this and makes it harder to see the photos and to reply.
If you stack the photos it wont do this.You can even edit the ones in this thread .By the way your car looks great and that system you just installed just tops it all off.Great work.

 

how do u stack???

 

what size pipes are those?

 

I have the same setup- it is 3" pipes with the tips flaring out to 3 1/2".

Need to finish installing it when I get back from this deployment.

 

im very new to all this and the only thing i want to change on my firebird is the exhaust. I want magnaflows but im on a budget. can i just get the muffler and incorporate it into the stock setup? I want something loud lol. your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

if you want loud dont go magnaflow i can tell you that lol

 

sounds good man!

 

I want a nice tone like ur magnaflow but a bit louder, what would you recommend?

 

there's nothing really that sounds like a magnaflow... it just has that deep, clean tone...

this is the same muffler that came in my cat back system http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MPE-14267/

this is where i got my whole system...

That is one good sounding 305. Good choice with Magnaflow. I'd want either their setup or Borla for mine.

 

ook great.I was lust gonna buy em for backpressure.3in 3out come out in front of rear wheels.no cat.track car.5litre class ,thanks man.Panhead201.glad to hear so many good reviews,dont have a cat or y-pipe.made my own shortys but hedman or hooker make good flanges.Iused the hookers.happy with em.panhead201,congrats look great

 

punkmasrer98.you want em louder fill em with diesel fuel and light em and take a walk.panhead201.201s my old area code

 

Excuse me?

 

This is the same exhaust I have on my car, and it does sound great. Starts to come alive around 3k rpm's. I do kind of wish it was louder sometimes though.

 

thanks... that why i picked this exhaust system because of the sound.. i mean its not the loudest out there, but when i want it to be loud i just put the pedal down and watch the heads turn..

my buddys got a borla on his 02 firebird with and ls1 and that thing is so loud. race car loud. but he put a cut out where the restricter plates goes sooo when state rolls by all he has to do is flip a switch and its about has loud as my magnaflow
but there both really good systems for sure...

 

it really does come alive at around 3k.. im pretty happy with how loud it is... but im not running a cat though... so mine might be a bit louder than one with one
but i can go down the freeway at 75 and have a conversion with the passager with out yelling to them

oh by the waY, i feel a little of your pain with your car being purple.. due to my purple graphics...

 

LOL I have no pain from my purple car! The longer I own it, the more I love it haha.

Yeah yours is most likely louder than my car, I have the dual-cat setup and both of them are still on the car. I live in California so swapping out cats is a no-no..

 

This panheaad201,you and me must be confusing each other with someone else.My car is white,I don't care about purple or pink or anything else as long as it goes fast.Go to the gallery or the garage or someplace,I think I managed to download a few pics.panhead201

 

Can anyone confirm this fits on an 82 Z28? Magnaflow site says 83 up. I'm running a super t-10 4 speed with a spohn cross member and no cat. I want this system but need to know if it will fit.

 

This is panhead.I'm running d-port 1 7/8ths pipe to a 3inch collector-ported the heads to the pipes, made my own centerdump shorties,3 bolt flangestraight back to a 3in,3out magnaflow in backwards,put a 45 in it and exit in front of rear wheelsovaled the last 2 ft of pipe for some clearance and cut a hole in the aero whatever on the side.I've been spending days trying to figere a cam profile,don't want to be blowing part of my powerstroke out the exhaust but really dont want any pre-ignition or detonation at this high an rpm.Mercedes has been experimenting with superchargting on their new amg,s and having a hard timemaking the hardwaRE(VALVES,SPRINGS)KEEP UP WITH THEIR SHARP ANGLE cam profile.I'm going solid lifters,only way.As far as will it fit?Get some dimensions and a tape measure.Works everytime.Don't forget your clutch shaft.panhead201

 

In reference to the Magnaflow 16829 set up, I will check with tech tomorrow since I'm ready to pull the trigger on exhaust but if anyone has used this for an 82 post up. To the op that is a nice exhaust how is it holding up, you liking it?

 

If you're talking to me(panhead) it'sbeen working out great.I've only used it three times,for a half hour every time,running in different cam combo,s and it's worked so well i forgot about it.It's exactly what I was after..........no hot spots,vibrations,I could'nt ask for better,and it's got nothing to do with going fast,but it sounds great!!!I've had neighbors a 1/4 mile away complain.panhead201

 

Put up another Video of the Magnaflow Catback system. I have had this on for about 7 years now and it just getting better and better with age.

 

Nice!

I put mine on last year and I swear it sounds better now.. hope it keeps getting better like yours.. I don’t even listen to music sometimes.. ha ha

 

Yeah buddy! I posted in this thread 7 years ago. Holy! I did the same sweet Magnaflow. Just finished a cam swap to one with more lope and it sounds even better

 

Holy thread bump. Still sounds great though!

 

Too quiet for my taste
