Does anyone have this setup? I just got this set up and i just looked at the cats and the exhaust and they both have a 2 1/2 inch end no way to hook up if anyone has this setup please let me know what and how you made it work. Thanks

I have the same exact set up. You reuse the factory band clamps from the old system to connect the Magnaflow to the kooks cats.

Ok let me make sure i understand before i start ripping off the old and start with the new...first let me be sure you understand what i have my cats have a 2.5 inch pipe and the magnaflow x pipe has the same 2.5 pipe now shouldnt one of them be sliced so that one fits inside the other? but if not then i just looked under the car and i seen a band clamp about 3 or 4 inches wide so i am guessing that you just butt up the two 2.5 inch ends and use that oem band clamp? I can post pics of what i have if i am telling it right. Thanks again for your help.. one more thing did you do the install your self and how hard was it?

Would LOVE to hear how this sounds, this is the exact set-up I want to do.

Yep just butt the two ends together and clamp it. For me the hardest thing was getting the damn mufflers out of the rubber hangers other than that pretty easy.

I will try and get a video put up this weekend when I get back home. I can tell you that a video does this setup no justice at all, it's much better to hear it in person.
