Was the Magnaflow a direct fit? It looks shorter than the X-Section.

Did you have to cut the x-pipe and use it with the Magnaflow to make it fit?

Thank you,

"Was the Magnaflow a direct fit? It looks shorter than the X-Section."
The 2-1/2" stepped diameter clamps allow for the different pipe diameters, and some vatiation in lengths when you cut out the cross section. So hold the MF up to the crossover of the adjacent Borla Pipes into and out of the X-Over to determine where to cut.

The MF Muffler replaces the X-Over as it has that feature internally.

That makes sense. So, It should be cut somewhere around there (See attachment)? The MF should slide over the remaining part of the pipe where the cut is made,and secured by the clamps?

Thank you

It was 8 or 9 years ago I did this, so I am not sure if the MF slips over the Borla Pipes. But if you have the parts in hand, that is a easy check via measurements. I do know you only cut the X-Over at the rear, as the front part is a slip connection to the pipes exiting the Headers/Cats. Study all the pics.

I installed it today, and everything went smoothly. It made the car significantly quieter while cruising/idling and it reduced some of the raspiness.

Thank you for your help

Awesome! Glad it worked for you. I had one before and it did the job when I was straight piped, thinking about doing it again to "tame down" my Corsa as it is very loud, and I'm kinda getting tired of it.

Glad to help and it worked out - that is a big factor of this Forum. The Forum def helped me get info, suggested parts, and processes to build my Camaros. I documented my builds on the Member Car Journals, and took a ton of pics along the way, so I have alot of stuff as reference to share.
