hello everyone, I look for a cat back and I was interested by the Magnaflow SIDO 16 614 but I have a 05 SuperCrew FX4 with a trailer package (factory hitch) and I read the cat back not fit, what you offer me in the same game output prices double?

if i were you i would order just a muffler and some tips online, then take it to an exhaust place around you and have them bend the tailpipes for it. most on here will probably recommend this setup rather than buying a "cat-back kit"

 

x2 way cheaper that way

 

Cat back kits are stupid and pointless for the gains compared to the cost. Get a SI/SO straight through muffler and have it welded it in with pipe ran back wherever you'd like. Duals make you lose low and mid range power.

 

or just dont run with mufflers

 

Or put duals with high flow cats and no mufflers to lose power and sound like crap. Seems like a great idea.

 

EXACTLY!!!!! glad we agree

 

If you get ALL stainless from the cat back at your local shop it's going to cost just as much. Call around. I did before ordering my stainless cat back. The local shops around here wanted just as much to add stainless tubing/bending/welding to a muffler I brought in as it cost me to order the complete system online. Plus I installed it myself in an hour.

Now before you say. "Stainless tubing is stupid" I'll respond with the following

Chrome wheels and big tires are stupid.

Bull bars and lights are stupid.

Black headlights are stupid.

Aftermarket grilles are stupid.

See where I'm going with this yet?

 

I would also vote for getting a custom system, buy a muffler and tips from Summit/Performance Peddler/Performance Curve/Hotsexhausts etc.. and go to a shop, try to get a good price on stainless mandrel bent piping, up in Canada you will need the stainless.

Hey now its not stupid when he has the sound he wants, and is happy with the performance he has, so dont go taking shots at him because he likes his exhaust system.

 

With all the crap they are pre-treating the roads with around here (WAY south of Canada) and the salt after it snows or freezing rain I wanted stainless. Not to mention all the damn condensation in these systems. I'm sure you can imagine what that does to a aluminized system after a couple years.

 

Definitely. I only have to deal with that kinda climate for about 4 months, but it still keeps our exhaust shops in business.

 

I'm doing everything agreement, stainless = sustainability of Quebec weather conditions and salt, sand and calcium on our roads in winter.

 

What it states on the install instructions is that the system wont work with aftermarket trailer hitches and that it will work with stock ride height vehicles that are equipped with OEM hitches and stock spare and wheel tire combos. Sometimes if the hitch is blocking the mounting holes for the exhaust, you can have a shop tack weld the hangers behind the hitch and use that to mount the hangers on the tailpipe.

 

lol thank you darren, i dont recall me asking him how he wants me to spend my money on my exhaust on my truck

 

No not really.
