Installed the Magnaflow catback today. Good looking system full polished Stainless steel easy install. Everthing fit as it should. Just has more interior drone and resonence than I wanted. The price was good thats why I got it. $429 at Jegs with free shipping. On the up side I did notice a little bit of a power gain with the exhaust and Volant cold air kit. Better throttle response but not sure if it was worth all the noise the two of them make. Next in line under drive pullies ( if availible) and an electric fan. I don't know why GM did not use an electric fan but I'm willing to bet that will free up a couple horsepower.

I don't think there is an aftermarket exhaust that doesn't reverberate a little...It's the nature of the beast...Like Mark said, give it time, it'll grow on you.

...Silcon Valley is still big in the technology arena...it has shifted from the wafer fab industry to chips and software technology and stuff...

Fred..It looks really good..You have one of the top of the line exhausts..I like those long tips too, are they welded on as well?

BTW..I have the same style tire cover and it had the Dealer's logo on it too..I for one don't believe in giving free advertizing, so I removed their name with Lacquer thinner and a rag and slowly worked it off..don't get too agressive, or you'll smooth the the plastic too much.

Dennis and Dilo,
I'm sorry you guys are offended. I am only teasing. Cats are good pets and are very clean to own. I have had several girlfiends that had cats, and I never had a problem with them. I am only trying to throw in a little humor into things. We are all here to have a good time and talk about the vehicles we have in common. There is no need to threaten to ban anyone. I appreciate the fact that you have let me know that you aren't pleased with me. I will make an effort to be mindful of your sensitivities when I respond to threads.

No sweat bro...now that I know where you're coming from..I take absolutely no offense...I was hoping it was a misunderstanding on my part and I see now that it was..It's all good, don't worry about a thing, it's cool...

SEVERAL GIRL FRIENDS????

...I lik what you did in removing the dealer logo...wil have to do that. Yes, the tips were welded on too... yea, this is somethin my exhaust shop did...I don't tend to look for the vehicle specific muffer, I asked Scott (Minute Muffler...who has done all my muffler installs) to do what he knows best and he has never failed me. i walked in with my H3 and said i want to do dual chrome tips with a more performance orientated muffler. I was pleasantly surprised to see a magnaflow muffler where my old one use to be...
