Default Any Magnaflow Catback Tech or Installation Guide?

I will be installing my Magnaflow Catback in about 2 weeks and I've never done one before and not sure if I can do it myself, I don't have a lift nor have access to one, so the car will be on 4 jackstands. So, just wondering how long it would take, the difficulties, any problems or hard parts I should look out, etc. Hope I could get some assistance...

It should come with all the parts. However, when I ordered my Magnaflow cat-back (ordered from Creative Compacts back in...December), it required a cut. You may want to check that out before you get your car lifted up and your stock exhaust uninstalled.

If not, it's a matter of unbolt, unbolt, unhook, remove...hook hook bolt bolt start up check for leaks and go. About as simple as it gets. If you can change a tire, you can bolt on an exhaust.

Aww, a cut, I don't like cutting, wiring, welding, etc.

Well my exhaust is an older version, they may have changed it and you probably didn't order it from the same place I did. :p


Besides, if it required a cut, it would've said so in the description

Here is all the info you need. Sound clip video, dyno, and installation guide for the Magna Flow exhaust.

Looks like its an easy install just get a saw to cut the stock exhaust. I personally do not have this exhaust. I got the TRD Muffler a long time before this came out. Although from what I see the Magna Flow goes from the cat 2.5" all the way to the back and then 2.25" stock diameter to the axle back. The stock exhaust with TRD Muffler goes 2.25" all the way to the back and then 2.5" to the axle back. Seems like you would get the same air flow. But I am by no means an expert. Hope you like it. Has a nice growl to it!
