Magnaflow 16829: It's "cut to fit"?
Hi,
Since a Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system p/n 16829 is more larger than rear bumper and it excee the end of the car (1986 Firebird Trans Am), then: it's "cut to fit" or "ready to fit"?
Anyone had the same question?
Any comment will be appreciated.

The tips are welded to the tail pipe. The only way to shorten them up is to cut and re weld. I modified the angle my tips exited. Got some stainless curved pipe and did some cutting and splicing to tuck my tips .

I'd love see solutions for this complaint.
And the finish tips angle: they are 90º like a military cannon war.
For an American sports car I would have expected another termination

I changed the angle of my tips so that they pointed more downward. Unmodified, the tips point upward and "hang" under the car when looking from the side. I preferred for mine to be more tucked under the car and not as visible from the side.

The "Magnaflow" stamped in the top of the stainless tips is advertisement for them. Looks like these were made to fit the 82-90 cars as the pipes end up at or more behind the edge of the 91-92 cars and the name isn't visible..

Magnaflow system fits perfect.
But final "look" is debatable according to personal preferences of each owner of his car.
According to my opinion, these tips could be more appropiate for a Silverado truck.
