Magnaflow Cat-Back Installed
UPS delivered it and i couldnt wait to install it, even tho it was raining LOL. so after being soaked for a few hours i got it installed
sounds freakin amazing, duh. i tried gettin on it to really hear it but the dam car just goes sideways when its wet lol
only problem is i was having a hard time centering the exhaust, its off to the drivers side by a few inches and ive seen it like that on other fbods, any tips to center it?
took a quick pic n a crappy vid

Nice.
The magnaflow in my truck was probably the easiest catback I have ever installed.

A lot of cat-backs don't quite line up right. My Jardine is off to the driver's side more than the passenger side and you can tell it's the over axle pipe causing the mis-alignment. Other than having a muffler shop heat and bend the stuff to line up, I would just live with it. Of course, the stainless Magnaflow is worth getting it to fit right since it should last a long time.

you might be able to cut the I-pipe going into the muffler and just pull the muffler/tailpipes over, I forget how much pipe you have to play with to allow it to slip on. I think it's off on the iroc a bit too. I have the same exact system.
Almost forgot, sounds great man! I really like how the magnaflows sound. Not loud at idle and crusing but you can hear it really open up when you get on it. You'll also hear it get louder after a few weeks.
