Hey bud

Thanks

Don,
I did the Magnaflow 12468 on Friday and love it. Not much difference at idle, but sounds very strong from about 2800 on up. No drone on the hi-way either. Tried several cruising speeds from 55 to 90 and held the speed there for a long time. No resonating or drone sound at all. $180.00 installed. Very good investment.

Yes Don C., I got the Magnaflow 14568 installed last Thursday. The job was done very well, a little expensive, but hey, that's Canada for you. You can see in the photo below that all the weights and stuff were put back on. The tips were just tacked in place, awaiting a set of polished something or others.

Unfortunately, I still have an aggravating minor vibration between 60 and 75 mph that I would say is worse since the muffler was installed. When my tips come in, I will get the installer to "neutralize" the exhaust again.

The sound is starting to come around. I would suggest to others that they try the 12468 or 14468 instead. Hopefully the growl continues to grow with age.



E-mail is coming.
