Magnaflow Question

[Holmes815]

Hello all; so I just got a Magnaflow exhaust from Performance Peddler (If you want a Magnaflow you need to call these guys!!!!!) Anyway, my question to people who have it is, are there any gaskets needed for the install (it's going in tonight and hopefully all I need are the clamps that came with it.) I think it might be a stupid question so go easy people!!!

From an installers stand point, magnaflows are the best. They sound great too. Enjoy.

Mine sounds like a bunch of rocks are in the mufflers! Only one other I heard was like that but I heard one 2 weeks ago on a V and it didn't do that rock rattling sound!

The rattling noises like a bunch of cans is for the Corsa. The magnaflow is best, also the lightest. I have had all 4 so I know. To do one better, saw off that stupid cross bar on the long pipes and it will tuck up very nicely!

LASTS: My Magnaflow does it horribly! Any idea what it is? I think it is worse since the headers and no cats!

See if you can tell where it originates. X pipe or the mufflers. Its possible something came loose inside. Then again, I didnt have headers, I did the extrude hone on the stock manifolds.

Is this on accel or decel? If on Decel it could be a lot of detonation in the pipes. Has it been tuned with the headers? Stealth got rid of my popping. Its caused by the slamming shut of the TB when you let off the gas.

Only when you let off the gas, decel. It is tuned with the headers too from Rick but I do not think it has anything to do with the tune. I think it is in the headers!

Yes, I've called Performance Peddler last week. And yes I'm sick for that fact I can't take advantage of the great price that was quoted to me over the phone, because Magnaflow Tech Support told me I can't install it on the 2006 CTS-V

Thanks for the dissappointment all over again.
Hope you enjoy yours as I'll have to pay twice as much for a CORSA

Do you still have your cats? Check that. In a C5 I once did, part of the cat blew out and would rattle like crazy. FWIW, I normally do 1-2 full exhaust jobs a week on C3-C6 vettes.

No cats!

Intresting. All clamps are tight? Any donuts along the system?

I just ordered mine today from Performance Peddler. The pricing is great!

This will be my first V Mod.

I have Melrose Headers and Corsa Pace Car Touring with Tigersharks on my Vette and it sounds wicked. Since the V is my daily driver I need to keep it a little more tame.

i dont now about the gaskets but i almost ordered that exhaust from that same company but they seemed a little fishy. the whole "gives a bid and well give you our price" thing kinda rubbed me the wrong way. how much did you get the sytem for? i was offered $555.03. let me know how it is to install please. thanks

CTSvflorida, where in florida are you?
