Got my Magnaflow cat-back yesterday and threw it on this morning. It's a very simple install. Just two bolts in the front, two bolts over the rear axle, remove the stock sytem, then hang the Magnaflow pieces and bolt them back together and you're done.

It's great to be able to hear the V8 now. I drive a mustang with a full headers-back exhaust, so I'm not used to a quiet cabin. There's no drone with this Magnaflow set-up (people who complain must never of driven cars with modified exhausts before), but you can definately hear the truck now when you're on the gas. It's very well-mannered at cruising speeds - the wife and I were able to carry on conversation on the freeway this evening just fine.

Which would you rather have?

You should submit this to me as a Tech write-up for the Tech section.

Rules for picture size are in there.

PS, sound clips would help too.

Mkool,

Did you get a quote from NSOR? DO you think they would give a better deal if two were purchased?

mkool

No I haven't ask any quote yet...I will ask them...and post here, ok?

mkool

ok, this is what I got a deal from them....Part cost us CDN $600.00 + installation $ 72.00. I'm thinkin get this end of June or beginin of July. If u r still interested, give me a shout.

bubbamango

nice job on the install. i like where the endpipe sits, tucked in nice and tight there. damn good price you got that. do you have the model number for that part by any chance?

Grimace

Its seems a little steep for me. I'm going to look around on the net to see where else we can get it. Seems everything has gone up since I modded my old truck. sigh...

Mikestang

Corey, if I get some time I'll do that this weekend, and add some actual details to the instructions.

bubbamango, it's kit #15781.

bubbamango

thanks for the number on that, appreciate it.

mkool

has anyone got a sound clips for the inside cabin(while you r drivin) and outside(Idle and launch? If it's possible, can I hear it from 06' T4R V8?

Mikestang

I'll see if I can make a recording.

mkool

Thx...Mikestang...^ ^

Mike, you notice any performance difference ?

Mikestang

Honestly, no, but I didn't expect to. Magnaflow claims like 15 hp I think? You can't expect to feel that in a 4500 lb. truck. It's nice to know that there's a gain, and just the tone is worth it. What I am watching is my gas mileage, I expect to pick up 0.5-1mpg or so.

JGage

Thanks Mike... Some people say they feel better throttle response when they switch to a cat-back, just wondered if that was your case.

Mikestang

You trick yourself into thinking that because you tend to be a bit more heavy footed now that you can hear the thing rumble.

And I haven't forgotten about the sound clips, just been busy. Maybe I can do it today.
