Has anyone tried the Magnaflow cat-back exhaust? It has an X pipe and 2.25" mandrel bent pipes.

$1063 on Amazon

Clips of the 2010 & 2013 with Invidia Q300

The clips sound similar to me but the cars don't sound the same on the road, either inside the cabin or out...

That's why I'm making the Monstrosity... I want more volume and sexual expression from her... Mine's the '13 in case you're new...



Thoughts?

BTW, the custom exhaust guy said he'd do the job if I find stainless elbows, and accept the fact non-tig welding would rust unless painted. I'm going to do it.

So no one has any thoughts on this exhaust? No one has tried it?

Sleeves and clamps, instead of bolts, gaskets and flanges. And a computer generated image, instead of actual photos, even on their own website.

And if you're having a difficult time finding reviews... Danger, Will Robinson.

Stillen uses all Magnaflow components for their exhaust. This looks identical to the stillen setup with the exception to utilizing an X pipe. Given it's using quality components, X pipe, and a reasonable price. I think it's the better exhaust in its price range against the competitors in that bracket.

My old Buschur Racing 3" exhaust on my GVR4 had sleeves and clamps. Less weight and easier to make sure it is aligned. I was more worried about the sound level but I would think it would have the best flow for a cat-back system.

Who needs a welder? All you need is testosterone and power tools...

Flex hose?

Sleeves and clamps?

What say you? Got impatient. Started cutting...
I could be growling tomorrow... but for Super Bowl parties...

Ok... I will... headed for Harbor Freight now...

The duct tape is temporary. If it'll duct tape, it'll weld!
This will require a little more cutting and fitting...
I accept your challenge!

Custom MeganVidiaManzo Hybrid Update

Harbor Freight- $99!
Organization is the key to success...
The flange on the left rail of the jig is one of two that came from the Invidia x-pipe. I'm going to put them between the forward part of the x-pipe and the rear of the cut off Megan y-pipe. I want to make the system installable in two pieces.
Getting close. Two more cuts and I'm ready to weld!

No flex pipes? That would help with getting it aligned while you're installing the exhaust if anything happens to be off. Looking good though!

While that's true, a flex pipe gives you a little fitment slack, there's something you should be aware of while you wait in queue for your new Fast Intentions exhaust...

...FI doesn't use a flex-pipe.

I'd say if you're going the "DIY" route, he'd benefit much more from the flex pipe.

My ETA for the FI exhaust is April 14, 2017... Not too bad
