Talking magnaflow installed today

So I got tired of waiting for my header to install it.

So here it goes ,

Installation: this was easy a sawsall took care of the stock easy , bolted up perfectly, it only took 35 mins thatnks to the fact that I have access to a car lift.

Sound: one word describes it SEX, super deep, not annoyingly loud, nice rumble on decell,

Performance: I don't really know it feels like throttle respose is better but haven't had much time to test it out (that's tonite going cruising)

Overall: I highly reccomend awesome sound worth every penny

I like my Magnaflow muffler on the GMPP catback. Sounds a hell of a lot better than the crap can muffler that was on there before...

Tulsa?? I'm in Enid. LOL.. we got hit, but nothing like they did down in Ardmore and southern towns. They were losing power around 9am and got worse during the day. Had well over an inch of ice.

Yea.. out of the car, inside, and a flyby if you can. Was this system for the SS/TC? I've been looking for them to put that system on the market for a while, but have not seem it for sale. $600 and shipping? Thats awsome.. seen other systems on the site for the 2.4 balts for way more than that.

In car, out car both idle and rev, and in car driving ,and out car fly by, so i can hear all angles of this exhaust. If you can of course I'd appreciate it.

I love my Magnaflow catback. It gives a very deep sound for a 4 cylinder. I get a lot of compliments on mine.

I installed it and it looked/sounded decent ( minus all the bubbly farts when you decel )

then blew the resonator out ( yes the resonator ) and sounded like hell. I was like eh no problem defects happen, so i had another magnaflow resonator put in, then one day something sounded terribly off. looked under the car and saw this

sounded like....
