Well, this is my christmas present. Its the 2.5" magnaflow exhaust from mandrel exhaust systems. Unfortunately I wont be installing it until late March or early April becuae where I live the roads are ****, and I figure I'll just wait for the roads around here to be a bit nicer before I put the exhaust on. Its going to be a long wait, and hard to keep myself from putting it on the car.

 

how do the 2 rear pieces bolt together? or do they need to be welded?

 

They slip over each other then you have to clamp it, but you could weld if you wanted to take the time to do it.

 

That is exactly right. If you look at the very bottom piece you can see that the right end is slightly larger than the rest.

 

buddy has this exhaust. sounds good.

 

I hope so. I know a lot of people say no resonator, it will sound like ****, but really it only begins to sound like **** when you get headers and a downpipe, in that case i can put a res on and it still be cheaper then other exhausts.

 

i didnt have one(resonator) on my pacesetter but after i put one on it sounds soooo much better

 

Yea, I'm not saying that its pointless to put a resonator on, but even without one, it should still sound fairly good.

 

The blower cars sound like ass without resonators! It's going to be super loud, very raspy!

 

If its too loud, and raspy.* I'll just get the easy fix,and buy resonator.* I'm not too worried about what it will sound like.

 

DO they all have te round muffler? I thought it was coming with the 8x14 or whatever oval?

 

Yea thats what i thought also but maybe not, I had a thread asking what other people got, but no one said anything.

 

I actually just looked at the site, and they have 3 muffler options now, and STAINLESS. I am looking into ordering one of these tomorrow.

 

Parts parts parts parts

 

yea they got all those options right after i ordered mine. I wish i could of had the choice to get the borla instead, and stainless

 

Holy ****** **** !!!1!!1!one!!!!eleven!!!1uno!

 

I can only assume you just went to the site, and saw the price of 3" stainless, is that correct lover?

 

I am buying it.

Like....tonight.

I keep telling myself otherwise too, but I am fooling myself man.

 

Its a really good deal, still no resonator, but its relatively cheap to pick a resonator up for the deal you get

 

good luck with hanger and bend fitment lol i had this and went right to the exhaust shop to rebend the over the axel section and redo 2 hangers

 

was urs 3" or 2.5" and did it sound good?

 

Steddy I got lunch at your choice of establishment(and install) covered if you go with this(and give me your stocker)

 

2.5" and it sounded deeper then stock but not loud enough for my taste With a magnaflow 4" roundbody 14" resonator ( with resonator it sounded exactly like stock)

 

Well i am gettign ready to buy the exhaust on mandrelexhaustsystem.com but on a ss/sc is it a 2 bolt or 3 bolt flange? I would go out and look but its pouring rain out so i dont feel like getting soaked

thanks

 

I have this exact exhaust, you will love it. It sounds awesome.
