You mis understood. You cut the Mid pipe 3 inches behind the 2nd cat.

 

But I thought the second cat was in the s-pipe? How would you install the after market s-pipe then if the midpipe need to be cut? That wouldnt that mean part of the stock midpipe would have to be retained?

 

It goes Exhaust manifold > Cat >Down pipe > Cat > Mid pipe > axle flange > Muffler

 

erm yeah... like he said. the second cat is pretty small. i didnt even noticed it was there. They just cut that piece and put it on the magnaflow exhaust. spipe doesnt have cat. its just a pipe shape like an S lol.

so the 2nd cat is right AFTER the spipe. where the midpipe starts...

 

one thing I would like to know, is all the actual piping of the magnaflow exhaust 304 series SS? Or do they use a cheaper grade for the piping. Reason I ask is because I have a magnaflow exhaust on my other car (v6 accord) that is about 2 years old, and there is noticeable surface rust on what once was shiney SS piping. The mufflers themselves are fine, and I know for sure they are a high grade stainless. But I have a bad feeling the piping is 409...... can anyone who knows chime in?

 

may have been said but 13 pages is a lot...hopupracing.com has them for $475.95 shipped!!!!almost bought mine for $570.34

 

I love the sound of my Magnaflow. It's grumbly and quiet enough while cruising but can come alive at at anytime with a generous press of the throttle. Great exhaust

 

Is the Magnaflow the same as the Presision Muffler exhaust?

 

the precision muffler system is a different magnaflow muffler and something he makes himself in his shop. the magnaflow system is made by magnaflow.

 

I have Magniflow S/S mandel bent from the cat back on mine and love it :o

 

A few months back I ordered mine from E-Bay for around $380 what you have to watch is some of the ridiculous shipping rates.

 

the first post claims this exhaust is 50 state legal. can anyone in so cal vouch? because when i first moved here, i had an exhaust on my previous car and some local cops pulled me over within a week. sorry for the thread revival.

 

I don't live in Cal but I can tell you that it is because it retains your cat. You cut your mid-pipe right after the cat and install the magnaflow after it.

 

I have the same magnaflow and have nothing but good things to say, my brother got his from ebay but I wanted a valid warranty(I have had problems with ebay sellers before) so I got it here. magnaflow 16478, or you can try one of the vendors here on the forum selling magnaflow, they are allways having sales/specials on the forums. It is nicely built and sounds great I think.

 

sorry for the bump guys but Amazon is doing a magnaflow sale
should i jump on this
$373 shipped
