Honestly it is embarresing to even state. Well when i took my car for the trans rebuild at the dealership. I was called out there to take a look at the exhuast. I was like great a ford mechanic is just going to &itch up a storm about my exhaust and blaa blaa blaa. Well i get there, and after looking at what he was talking about. The guy who put on my magnaflow cut the pipe crooked and welded in the pipe on an angle. The ford mech said it was putting stress on my flex pipe which it was.I was looking at it with my own eyes. The downpipe i got from sp brand new. So he had to reweld the magnaflow. Thats all. Last edited by Mkingracing; 06/25/05 07:07 PM. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

At least I know you all care to at least look at what I am talking about...I think. j/k Anyways, I went to another shop and got the resonator installed and all I can say is . This thing took the subtle note of the SVT exhaust and made it Boom like a '64 on Crenshaw. lol. I absolutely love it! Very little if no drone but my friends agree, it sound mean now. Suweet!
