Outstanding tips. I had a nightmare install with a terrible muffler shop from somebody who somehow had great reviews. You covered all the areas he had trouble and I wish I would have tried to do myself.
Yeah a shop here said with slips if will do that for a while on start, once warm it expands and closes up. Over time it seals up with particulates filling the gap.
@144shawn yes, totally normal, H2O is a byproduct of combustion the vapor condenses into droplets quickly when the exhaust is cold. The slip joints, when cold, aren't air or water tight until they heat up. So the water droplets get through.
Hello my friend, thank you for the video. I paid for someone to install it professionally, and paid again for another shop to review the work as I continue to experience a noise perfectly syncronized with my foot off the gas after acceleration over 2,500 RPMs or so. Do you experience that at all? I have been told it may be the valves. Driving me nuts.
No, I don't have any such noise, see if you can get an audio clip of the noise. Is it noise, vibration, bass hum, or rattle? You can also call magnaflow tech support, the actual engineers answer the calls.
@@TrickMasterPC thanks. I have been talking to those jokers for a couple of weeks now. I wish there were engineers. I sent them videos already. It seems to be a mystery still my muffler shop thinks is the valves opening and closing loudly. I am trying to get them to issue me the valve deletes replacement for the kit. Wondering of you had that already?
Thanks for the info. Does the system come with provision to delete the active exhaust valves? I want to run mine straight piped all the way to the tips.
It does not, these valves are critical to ensure appropriate levels of back pressure under varying conditions otherwise you may draw too much vacuum and pull raw fuel and air into the exhaust which will cause backfires, ruin your cats, O2 sensors and lead to diminished engine power. I would not recommend eliminating these valves.
LOL! Your response is either a sarcastic attempt at humor, or you flat out do not know what you are talking about. Those valves are in place to control the output of the exhaust noise and are closed to keep sound levels at a minimum when the engine is idling and/or in light throttle situations, and under certain throttle positions, to help eliminate drone. Wiring them open, or eliminating them all together, will simply give you that cold start sound all the time. But thanks for the info on the magnaflow... @@TrickMasterPC
If they put those round exhaust tip on like that from the factory, you would have taken them off and put on the rectangle ones to match the opening and told us how much better it looked :) Just joking...not
