Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Pics and Videos Got Magnaflow ? I do !

I finally got around to getting my Magnaflows mounted the other week . And now , am finally getting around to posting some pics . Whatcha think ?



I had them go with 2�¼" stainless from the "Y" on out , and add another hanger right in front of the "Y" , where the non-SVT's have the hanger (thought it'd be a good idea) .



I went with #14215 Magnaflows , 5"x8" polished stainless mufflers and these tips - Magnaflow #35125 (3�½" double-wall)



Here's another shot from out back :



I've only got about 60 miles on them so far (last saturday I drove the car quite a bit & racked 50 miles on it) , so I don't have much seat time with 'em , but I'm really diggin' them .
Sound ? Overall , not really that much different than my old exhaust (straight-thru glasspack "resonator" w/stock mufflers) - maybe a bit deeper out back - pretty much exactly the same sound from inside the car (which , I think , was a bit of a dissapointment to my wife ) . I think once they "burn-in" a bit , they'll probably mellow out nicely .
More power ? Who knows ?? I'd like to think so ... couldn't hurt , I guess ! I got rid of those restrictive stock "plugs" ... oh , I mean mufflers !

Can I ask why you didn't just stick with a stock SVT exhaust and have the mufflers welded in? 2-1/4" piping is the same as stock I believe, and mandrel bent to boot.

I think the tips could come up maybe 1/2" to fill the holes a little more, but it looks great other than that. LoadedSVT's tips look the same, so I'm assuming it's a similar setup. Not loud enough for me though.

The system is basically my modified SVT system , with the Mags swapped-in at the rear from the "Y" on back . I may bring the tips up just a tad , but they're just down enough for me to get my fingers in there to clean 'em - which was my #1 concern . I just haven't had enough time to mess with 'em . I also made a new hanger (on the body) to hold the passenger muffler , that's an exact match for the driver's side hanger .
The stock SVT piping after the "Y" is 2" , BTW .

im really looking into that exhaust system..also Marks as well (tour4reak)

are you sure those tips are 3.5"??? cause mine from trubendz are 3.5" and they FILL the exhaust cutouts.

sure does look good...nice job

Looks nice, any chance you could post a sound clip?

Thanks for the comps so far .

The tips are definately 3�½" . Maybe the pics make 'em look smaller(?) , as you're not the first to tell me that (sent pics via e-mail to someone) . They're really a pretty darn nice fit in person , with about �½" all around the tip (just enough to get in & clean) . Maybe with the shiney black lower valance , the reflection throws the eye off ?

I don't have the capabilities to do a sound clip , but hopefully we'll soon be having a local meet & maybe someone will be able to hook the CEG up with a sound clip . It's been so long since I had my stock system mounted , I really don't remember what it sounded like , but it's definately louder than THAT . It's got a nice low rumble at idle & sounds pretty darn good from inside the car through the driving range . I'll have to have the wife drive the car past me to hear it from outside at roadspeed . I'm kinda curious too .

Looks cool ALlen. Can't wait to see it, prob. at Carlisle. Nice job.

The tips look small because they are mounted a tad bit to low allowing more space around them.
