Author Topic: Magnaflow exhaust installed! (Read 11343 times)

Well, due to the good things I have heard about Magnaflow exhausts, I finally replaced my rusty, raspy Bosal with a #11265 replacement. Sound is amazing, without any rasp, but it has a lot of resonance around 2500 RPM. I will try to get some sound clips, but my crappy camera was clipping whenever I hit the gas. $70 for the muffler, 50 for the tips, and 77 for installation, with stainless welds.

I also just installed a #11265 Magnaflow. Sounds great. It looked as though Ray Charles had installed the previous muffler. I just clamped mine in. Will take to a proper shop for welding soon enough. I like your choice of tip(s). Was valance modification required to get the twins to fit?

Yes, the rear valence had to be cut to fit twin tips in there.

Looks nice. Can't wait to hear it. How about a link to where you got it.

Ditto on the 2500 RPM raspiness. Must be a "thing" with M42's. I like the tips!

My thoughts when entering Hooters.

Thanks for all the comments

. Yes, I had to cut the valence a little bit to get it to fit, but it really didn't take much. It isn't a DIY as I don't have access to a welder, and I wanted it done right the first time.

I'll get a clip or two posted soon, but I've had a tennis match every night this week :/. Maybe tomorrow...

EDIT: Now I really need to get my Taurus skirts and the rear valence painted

I just noticed the plate filler. Looks good.

I did a search for your muffler using the same number and I find the price is $122. I like how the muffler has a non-visible can look from the rear. I really like the dual tips.

When you get a chance I would like to find out where you got the parts.

^^^^ Thank you sir.

I got the same muffler at Summit Racing for $73. There was an online advertisement for ~ $54, but they were lying, they really wanted $73.

I find it puzzling that others are getting resonance. I have none, regardless of where I am in the rev band.

I have the superturbo and it is very raspy. i want to find a full exhaust that isnt so loud.

How loud is the Metric Mechanics? anyone know?
