Installing After-market Exhaust
Im getting a new exhaust this week, but i still have my warranty and i dont want to void it, so im just going to change it out to take it into the stealership. Every review, PDF install file, and DIY require cutting off the stock exhaust as shown:
http://www.magnaflow.com/07techtips/pdfs/16542.pdf Cant post image, its on a PDF. Every catback exhaust advertises "bolts on directly to factory downpipes" But that wouldnt involve cutting it would just involve taking off the exhaust, correct? What im wondering is, is there any exhaust i can get that i can install with ZERO cutting required? Thanks |

Edit- just looked at the PDF. That's the first catback I've seen that requires you to cut, it looks about 6 inches from the downpipe flange. Pretty dumb of magnaflow to not Just build the system complete with the flange. If you're very worried, just buy a quality And "complete" system. Last edited by BrianMN; 09-12-2010 at 06:35 PM.. |

An exhaust will not void your warrant. But if you are worried go with an AE exhaust, fits perfectly and easy to install ( not to mention sounds amazing and gives a small gain)

No cutting. 8 bolts and 2 hangers + 30 min and bam!

Some of the bolt ons I can think of off the top of my head are AMS, AE, Agency Power, HKS, The cheapos like Topspeed/M2. I'm sure other people can add to this. Autobahn Exotics (AE) is very popular on here...AMS is my favorite for sound and weight savings.
