Magna flow Street Catback on GT Vert

[painoz]

So I finally got the Magnaflow Street Catback on Wednesday. Took the car to a local auto hobby place and used their lift. Putting this on the vert is not as easy as it sounds. It's easiest if you drop the rear bracing that is unique to the vert's. to get it in. Took me about 3 hours.
Not at all happy with it as the tips just will not center in the rear fascia. I screwed with centering the tips for an hour. It seems as if the bends are just off and the clamps don't hold well enough to keep it where it needs to be to have the tips centered. Guess I am now going to take it to an exhaust shop and let them get the tips centered. Really pissed about the installation.

Sounds great though.

You need a pair of helping hands. Have a buddy center the tips for you while you tighten the bolts from the xpipe working your way back. I struggled with it too myself until I got a pair of helping hands. Make sure you're working from front to back and tighten those clamps really tight

Mine are not centered either, but I thought it was just because the muffler shop was in a hurry when they snuck me in between some other customers. I'm also having trouble with the clamps holding. When I get the Hellion kit installed I will have the shop align the tips and put a tack weld on each connection so they can't move after that.

Just gotta play with it.

Magnaflow update

Paid a local exhaust shop to center the tips in the rear fascia. Spent way to much time trying to do it myself. It is perfect now.

Installed the MF Comp axle back on my 15 GT in January. Before installing I had listened to so many exhaust sound clips that I was getting tone deaf. The MF Comp axle back sound is perfect. Deep but not too loud and inside hardly any drone at all. None at highway cruising speeds. Did have an issue with centering the tip on one side. A little tweaking of the MF muffler aft hanger bar and it centered right up. Cost less than $700 and it took about an hour. Couldn't be happier with the sound and the looks of those 4 1/2" tips.

I ordered a Mustang convertible and it finally came in today. Of course, I needed to install new exhaust before taking it home. The dealer called Magnaflow to confirm the Street version would fit the vert and they confirmed it did. However, they must have received old stock as the dealer could not make it fit with the brace. Also, they cut out the factory exhaust to remove it so I couldn't even put it back on. :headbonk: So, I took the car home without the brace for now and the dealer will figure something out next week. Obviously I'm not too impressed...

Those with the Magnaflow Street version, how is the clearance of the piping below the Diff? I am making contact with speed bumps and my car isn't lowered yet. I don't think it's right, so I wanted to what others ended up with. I sent pics to Magnaflow, still waiting for a response.

I now have the new Street exhaust installed and the tips do not align properly (the local Ford dealer installed it). Clearly, this is a widespread issue that Magnaflow needs to resolve. At this point, I wouldn't recommend anyone buying this exhaust for the convertible...

Agreed
