For the price, I'm probably going to pick me up the exhaust in the next few weeks. Thanks for the thread/review.

I think there's some magnaflow clips running around on YouTube.

Are there any on there with the true system? I thought most of those were just bolt on MF mufflers.

although there are many crossfire exhaust videos on youtube, only two are magnaflow exhausts and one doesn't have sound. the one with sound
(silver crossfire - shows the exhaust, then the inside, then going down the road) is only a muffler. the soundless one, i believe, is a muffler as well.

Thanks,

Worth a try however, if that fails photobucket is really easy to use and will give you links and such you can post. Plus it's free, I don't know if you will have to convert your wav first but, I have now doubt there are lots of converters.

xdrive.com is another option...

i just installed my cat back it fits good but the exhaust. there seems to be lots of movement at rear of the system because of the rubber hanger.

Talking Re: Magniflow Cat-back ready to ship !

Well I bit the bullet after reading about the new Magnaflow Cat Back and ordered one for my 2004 XFire Coupe. It arrived last Friday and I had it installed at a local muffler shop for $35 the following day. The mechanics were raving about how it sounded before I even got to test drive it for myself !

The second I started her up I could hear and feel the difference ! The car now sounds as good as it looks; somehow it is hard to explain the sound, but it is a perfect match. Aggressive, yet mellow at the same time until you open it up then it just plain growls at you ! The sound is not overbearing in the passenger compartment and I definitely noticed better throttle response and what seems to be an increase in power.

Highly recommended !

agreed. for the love of your car, please post sound clips. i don't care if you use your cell phone and post it on youtube. i don't care how great the quality is. after all, no one's going to stick their ear right next to my exhaust (like the professional hi-grade mics slim is using). i just want to hear it. i wish magnaflow would put some up. they have every rice-burner and muscle car up except the crossfire. they even have cadillacs and saturn ions. wth? i guess this car doesn't get attention from anyone.

why did you have it installed? there's no welding required. did you just not have access to a lift or pit, or did you just not feel like messing with it?

AHH...you're killing me, I need to wait like 2 more weeks before I can order it...where's my Money Tree Seeds.

I could possibly take it to these guys I know at an oil change place that have a pit...excellent idea +1.

yeah, unless they give you the whole safety liability speech. the cheapest and safest way i know to elevate your car on your own is to get some high-weight steel trailer ramps with the completely horizontal top surface. back your crossfire onto them and you should have plenty of room to get under your car. make sure to chock your front tires.

There is a isolation link on the shift rod that causes the springy/spongy feeling. It this could be made of a maybe urethane or even replaced altogether the shift fell would improve greatly.

If anybody concocts a shifter upgrade I'd buy one in an instant !

Me and about 20,000 other Crossfire manual transmission drivers...

I bet there's a few M-B SLK owners who would like a better shifter to !

Hey Slim,

Please send me a pic of the diagram of this rubber isolator. I have the resources to build them out of urethane and thought if its easy to get to it might be worth a try. I don't want to waste my time if its impossible to replace, so the diagram will help me locate it.

I did not have access to a lift or pit so I called my local Midas Muffler shop and they agreed to install it at their hourly rate, $37 / hour. It took them less than an hour to slap it on.

I wish I had some ay to post a sound clip or video; but I don't. I'll try using my trusty cell phone to capture a 15 second clip or two. I know that everyone is waiting to hear it, so was I before I just went ahead and made a leap of faith. I am very happy with the new exhaust !

When I did a video clip of my Avenger's exhaust I just used our digital camera. It worked pretty well.

Hey Slim, this exhaust on a 350z looks like it has similar style Magnaflow mufflers - does it sound similar to the Magnaflow for the XF?
