    Pulled the trigger on a Magnaflow today

    I was supposed to have 4 days off this weekend but that's not happening. Worked Friday and today and will be in Monday.
    My wife got the CETA out of storage yesterday while I was at work. She pulled it out of the shop and gave it a bath before I got home. We took it for a drive into Flint and I made up my mind I HAVE to get rid of the Flowmaster... Way to brassie/tinny sounding for my tastes. I figured, with all of this O.T. I am working, I can afford to build the exhaust the way i want it so I orded a Magnaflow muffler from Jegs and will up grade the mid-pipe to a 3" over the axle. I will try to get the work done next weekend and I'll let you know how it turns out.

      Good choice, I love my Magnaflow. A very powerful sound that's not overwhelming on long trips.

        Magnaflow has the best sound IMO. I wish I had a magnaflow setup on my car!!!

          Wow! What a difference! The guys at the muffler shop couldn't believe how much better the LS1 sounds with the Magnaflow. No more popping back through the muffler and no more insane racket when I step on the throttle! The car now has a low throaty rumble to it which I think fits the car much better. It sounds more "sophisticated" then the brassie sounding Flowmaster. I am very happy with the sound.
          We found a broken trans mount while the car was on the hoist so I will be fixing that shortly. Does anyone recommend a poly mount over stock rubber?
          I also worked on the car a bit this afternoon and got the SLP lid installed. Did a little cleaning in the engine compartment and will be picking up some stainless screws and such to clean up the rusty fasteners.

              i went through 4 rubber ones last year, and finally bought a polly and never had to worry about it again, i am a m6 also.. you will feel alittle bit more vibration but it was worth it to me, i hated changing a trans mount every-time i stepped on it! i say do it.

                  Which tips did you get? Get the solid mounts unless you want vibration from the poly
