Got my Magnaflow :)

I know it's like tuesday, but anyway, I got my magnalow catback installed on saturday, and wow! It's not an "official" magnaflow catback, but it's close enough. The shop I got it done at is an authorized magnaflow dealer, and they said they could order one for 600 or make me one " just like it" for 250... So they put on the mag.muffler and bent the pipes and everything, and it looks just like the pictures. i havent really noticed any differences other than sound, and i hate the fact that I can't hear my S/C with my windows up anymore unless i'm at full boost haha, but other than that.. I really like it. I'm glad I went with magnaflow... none of that ricey/raspy sound when I get on it.

haha that is exaclty what I was thinking about when I got my magnaflow installed...I loved hearing my SC at low RPM's....Currently I only have the 2.5 ZZP downpipe with the magnaflow muffler...I plan on getting the full cat back soon...Fortunately I only paid 25 for the muffler and $100 for the downpipe...

Absolutely sure haha. I was back home, in Southern West Virginia, and things arent like they are everywhere else, LOL.. I got TRUE DUALS with Glasspacks ran on my old silverado for 300 from the same place.. they do good work, and like I said.. it's just a country thing... "good ole boys".. if I wanted to, I probably couldve talked them down on that.. LOL

Wow you guys just love to hate on people. It seems like he knows what he's talking about so stop trying to think you know more about something that you weren't even there for to witness, plus he's gone there more than once so im sure he wouldn't lie about something like crushed or mandrel bent pipe.
