Magnaflows Installed!

[Lincoln Luebbe]

I know these pics are small but these will have to do until this afternoon. For some reason my 5 mega pixel phone won't let these particular pictures be resized without getting blurry.

 

[RodLS]

aaah much betterer!

 

[FASTLLS]

What a difference.. Liking the sound?

 

[Villalta]

Nice!!

liking the sound?

+1,

 

[Andrizzle]

Hey your ass matches mine! :]

Like the others, sound report!

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

Better pics... I like the sound quite a bit. Andrizzle it is not as potent as yours (which sounds great as you know) but it is a pinch quiter than I expected with the windows up. I was wanting to find the balance between sounding good and not being too loud. I have probably listened to every Youtube clip there is but in person they sound different. I may go X-pipe in the future.

Only one minor thing bugs me... The passenger side tip seems to be out maybe an 1/8-1/4 in more than the driver's side. Although when I measured they were the same distance. I know they will never be perfect but it just bugs me a little. I know I am picky.

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

The picture doesn't show it too well, but they are both centered.

 

[FASTLLS]

I think I can see what your saying.. Either way, it still looks good

 

[Alax7]

looking good! Did you take off the resonators or keep them on?

 

[M4rk]

Looks great. How long are those tips?

I think the ones I got are the shorter version, and I'm not too happy about it. Gonna have to push mine in a bit further once it warms up.

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

M4rk: About 7".

Alax: I left the resonators on for now, I may go X pipe later. I have a bad rear bearing and it is hard to tell how loud the exhaust is after about 40mph. I wanted to play it safe first time around.I was more willing to let it be more quiet than I wanted than the opposite from the start.

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

For me the driver's side is perfect, the passenger side (depending on the angle you are looking at) needs to go in about 1/8 of an inch.

To those who have more exhaust experience than me, is worth it to move it that small of an amount?

 

[FASTLLS]

Idk, is it worth ~30 to you? Because it wouldn't be to me

 

[BlackLS06]

LOL...told you to do x-pipe and resonators at the same time.

 

[FASTLLS]

He has a kid on the way.. It can't be too loud!

Glad my kid doesn't ride in my LS.. :shifty: lol

 

[Alax7]

It's not too loud without resoantors. Black06ls was on the same page as you when he did his, ask him about his exhaust now.

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

The guy told me he would do an X-pipe parts and labor for $100.

 

[FASTLLS]

That's pretty cheap..

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

Yeah, I think the Magnaflow x-pipe most of the guys on here run is like $80 by itself.

 

[FASTLLS]

Yea, something like that

 

[Alax7]

you could start with deleting the resonators then later on getting an x-pipe

 

[Lincoln Luebbe]

Without an X-pipe doesn't the back pressure make a bunch of rasp w/o resonators?

 

[jolinc01]

Mine isn't really "raspy" just uneven. I can almost hear the exhaust "lobe" from side to side with the h-pipe. To me it sounds like a pick up w/o resonators or an x-pipe. That's why I've got the new flow through resonators and tips waiting to go on. By the way nice job, those tips make the exhaust.

 

[05 LS8]

Very nice. I like it.
The exhaust tips seem to be mounted really well, which doesn't happen very often, since most of the shops have a habit of putting them on crooked.

They look good. Im sure they sound even better.
