Magnaflow cat back...

So, I have been looking for cat back options and was pretty set on the SLP and at some point replacing the muffler with a Flowmaster... Then I was thinking about the GMPP performance or Borla but really don't want a 2.25" I want a 2.5"... I managed to land on Magnaflows website and saw they are asking $660.00 for the system with free shipping... But then I noticed they have this little button on the bottom that says "Make an offer". So I did, and Shazam I got the system for less than $560 shipped!!! So Magnaflow it is, Hopefully I will have it installed next weekend!

Have not heard of that offer, but Magnaflow is a great system.

Very true. Computers never give justice to how a car truly sounds.

This is a first, I have never seen a manufacturer give you the option to "make an offer" like that... I offered them $550 and they agreed to $558.+ shipped... I'm pissed I didn't offer $500... either way I am happy as hell...

Oh snap, I just realized that this was a Magnaflow distributor not Magnaflow direct... Either way it was still a great price...

it's not ricey at all. you can't listen to a shitty soundclip and decide if you like an exhaust. you have to hear them in person. people put too much into shitty soundclips. almost all of them are taken with **** cameras using **** microphones, and sound NOTHING like what they sound like in real life.

My kids had a Dr. appointment Saturday so I was too tight on time to take any vids and we had a whole house full of family yesterday. I will try to do something today at lunch...

One thing I noticed this morning is that my mileage went into the toilet for some reason... I dropped from an average of 29.8mpg to 27.1mpg... WTF is that all about???
