Default magnaflow high-flow cat

I just got my Magnaflow cat-back and saw that they also have a high-flow cat too.

Universal design.

Anyone with experience on these?

They are a lot less than RT.

Waste of money?

Thanks.

not legal in california, might be in ohio though.. check with someone there. In Georgia they only do a visual check to make sure there is a catalytic converter in place. As long as it's there and you can pass the tailpipe check with good levels everything is cool.

This isn't a waste of money especially if you plan on keeping the stock exhaust. Highly recommended, but I would probably go with the RT versus this universal fit. Have you research if anything needs to be changed for the magnaflow to fit?

It is said to be a direct bold on to our cars, if the magnaflow is direct bolt on and so is the cat, there should be no problem.

I bought one...so hopfully it will bolt up to the magnaflow and comptech header...

My reasoning is to stay legal...otherwise I'd just get a raceheader, but being in aviation I move around alot.

Sorry to thread jack, but how do you like that Magnaflow catback? I've heard of people having problems getting the pipes to line up correctly during install.

the only problem with the pipes is where the muffler section and the resonator section connect, there both the same size hole, the muffler shop i went to to have my exhaust installed made the muffler section a little bigger then used sum sort of lube to fit it in.

other than that the exhaust is kickin, i love it
