Magnaflow part # 11235. You need 2. You can stick with the factory tips or get these...

Thank You Very Much!

Have you gotten any SES (Service Engine Soon) lights because of back pressure or anything like that? Can you feel any difference in performance or is it all sound?

It does sound Really Good!

Thanks.

No SES light. All that was done was replacing the muffler so the chance of that happening is almost impossible.

As far as performance I don't really feel any difference. I was just going for the sound anyway.

Thanks buddy! The oncoming traffic wasn't as close as it looks on film.

They look more angled in pics. In person they have a very slight angle. It flows with the curve of the bumper. Originally the guy showed me what they looked like straight back and it looked really awkward so he angled them out ever so slightly and it looked much better. Very similar to the way the factory tips are. Take a look at your factory tips and you'll notice they do angle out a bit.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of those. They look like they stick out to much IMO. I was going to have mine done similar to that and couldn't get over the fact that they didn't flow with the curve of the bumper.

Anyway, I can't wait to see and hear yours buddy!

Option to consider

Has anybody else tried this option? how is the sound, I watched the videos but is not the same as in person.

I know Magnaflow has been on the market for a long time, but are the exhaust 100% stainless? how is their quality compared to Remus, Meisterschaft or Eisenmann?

Appreciate your help,

Sounds great on the 4.8-Has anyone done this with a 3.0? I bought the Magnaflow #35168 tips, and I wasn't going to switch the muffler as I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but this system is such a great deal.

I'm curious if it be worth doing I paid $102 for two sets of tips already, and can get two mufflers for $140, then install $200= $442
