Straighten out Magnaflow Ctaback?
 
I noticed form maroman88's recent post his magnaflow catback is crooked just like mine. They are oriented towards the drivers' side. Is there a trick to straighten this out? I had the hangers adjusted and rewelded. it was straight for a week then it broke. got it rewelded again to its current position ( identical to maroman's) and its solid as hell..... WTF ??? I only have mine clamped in . The welding I was talking about was the hangers onto the catback itself. This drives me nuts!!! please, any tips are appreciated.

see top pic of maroman's post for an idea http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=34213

my slp loudmouth does it a little. try messing with clamps before and after the over axle pipe. not sure how the magnaflow is. could always hit a muffler shop up. they could fix it with a new pipe or something.

Dont make me drop almost 800 on a gmmg..... must fix magnaflow

I'm dead serious :lol: I have a magnaflow as well, and a previous shop did something that made the exhaust tips crooked, so I took a wooden broom handle, stuck it in the tail pipe, and bent it to my hearts content!

I liked the Magnaflow tips when I first put the system on the car but I don't think they flow anymore. Either that or they just need to be re-adjusted. I really want to go w/o the tips and just do flat black turn-downs off the muffler.

duct tape?

my hooker was offcenter when I forst put it on. I had to cut part of the tailpipe that goes into the muffler to move it more towards center

Slo86Bird 05-14-2008 09:46 PM

hookers should always be in the center.

yea I know. Not funny and made no sense.

But like i said, I had to cut it a bit to fit it in the recess areas of the TA bumper. And somehow I made them crooked up and down.

it wasnt meant to be a good "joke" it was just me being stupid.
