I installed my Magnaflow catback exhaust tonight and when I took off the bubble wrap on the tips I noticed they had smaller pipes inside them. Just wondering if this is a new design or do I need to send it back? I called a local friend of mine who has the same exhaust on his truck on he said his does not have the smaller pipes inside the tips. None of the pics I have seen on the net show these either so I thought I would ask on here and see what everyone's thoughts where on this issue.



Thanks,

That is the best thing I liked about my Maggy was the size of the tips.

Yea I love the size of the tips also. Does your magnaflow have those little pipes inside the exhaust tips like mine pictured above?

Tony

 

Man, I don't like that look at all.

 

My Magnaflow tips are like yours.

 

Mine is like that, but now I don't even notice it... Especially when they're dirty.
As for some of the pics you see, it also depends on which angle the pic is taken... Because here is mine...

 

My Magnaflow didn't have those, but it was a custom deal from REM.

mine doesn't have it.

 

So it appears that some of us have it and others do not. I have read that there have been serveral design changes since this exhaust first came out. I wonder if this was one of them? To me it looks like someone forgot to cut off the pipe coming from the muffler where they welded the tip and just let the excess pipe run inside the tip.

I think the ones without, are exhaust from vendors that make thier own tips & pipes but, use the Magnaflow mufflers. and then are to often refered to as a magnafow exhaust.

But then again it's just my thought

 

I agree, it looks like they forgot to finish the job!!

 

I'm not ripping it off my truck for that reason. I like the way it sounds, and I can't afford to buy something else right now since I'm about to drop $400 into a hood.

 

The reason for the dual pipe system is to prevent heat discoloration. Some would argue that Maggy went the extra distance by doing this, instead of saving a few bucks without the extra pipe.

 

My understanding is design change. Two biggest differences are inner pipe, and tips don't have Magnaflow etched on them. The older design like I have has no inner pipe and Magnaflow is etched into tip. As long as you like the sound you're good.

 

these pipes u see is maggy's newest design.

you'll be thankful those inside pipes are they're when you start cleaning your pipes every couple weeks!
