The Magnaflow 16633 SS Cat-back that many have purchased for $350 (Forum Group Buy) has two straight through stainless steel mufflers welded together with a great polished oval tip on each muffler. It comes in two pieces and is a direct bolt on using existing bolts and hangers. Therefore, you can save the OEM setup to return the car to original in the future, or sell it as a complete OEM cat-back exhaust. I installed mine in about an hour, and it looks and sounds great. Yes, a few have decided that it is louder than they wanted, but most like the sound. If you install one, some of the tips you can find on here by doing a search will help. I used an exhaust donut stretcher tool that helped significantly in the removal of the OEM exhaust. I also used a long zip-tie to pull the muffler rubber hangers together. That keeps the hangers from slipping off. I also, put 3/8” hose clamp on the end of the passenger side muffler hanger to make double sure. Some on here have had trouble with that side slipping off. Both the zip-tie and hose clamp have been suggested by Forum members if you do a search.
By the way, the Magnaflow 16633 is still available for $350. Just call wUnderCarParts (1-888-986-3373) and ask for the Crossfire Forum deal. Here’s a link to the product info:
