My last thread before the pics was me stressing over how QUIET the MAGANFLOWS were.

They are Disgustingly LOUD.....!!!!! And the drone isnt bad!!!!!
IF you want a loud exhaust I would Recommend SPIN TECHS...!!!
I LOVE ITTTT.........!!!!!!!!!!!

in the 4th pic, the tranny linkage is awfully close to the header ( will def burn from radiant heat). and in the 5th pic, I had the shop weld some brackets to hold that X-pipe together. vibrations may slowly cause a leak in that area. let me see if I have some pics.
here ya go, those triangular looking plates were welded in four places along the X-pipe . I also put some heat sleeves on the tranny lines and tranny linkage.

I am MOST definitely going to put a heat sleeve on the tranny lines and tranny linkage. I didnt think about that..Thanks for the advice. I am going to go back to KOOKS and see if they can weld me some brackets. BETTER be safe then SORRY..!
What do you have sprayed on the X-Pipe..?

since we flanged a few areas for install, I sprayed hi-temp paint on the welds, then got carried away and sprayed just about everywhere. here's a pic of the heat sleeves

and the flange just forward of the muffler.

AWSOME…! I really appreciate the picks and advice.:beer:
I am MOST definitely going to do some investigating into getting the X pipe mounted up a little better for LONG TERM SAFETY..
Where can I order the heat shield wrapping..
Thanks again.. O and get some Spin Techs on there if you want it louder….! Trust me its well worth it…!

I think the heat sleeve was from summit racing. 3/4 or 1" diameter.
try to use metal tie wraps for durability, but plastic should also work fine.
I do like the quality of the Kooks system. no leaks whatsoever. they are staying with the car. stage 8 locking bolts too, so it's too much of a pain to remove anyway.
I don't think I want it any louder, and those spin techs look funny. lol.
What type of muffler are those?

audio clips DO NOT give the spintechs justice.. You MUST hear them in person to decide if you like them. I dont know why but no camera ive seen has been able to pick up the true tone the spintechs give off.. actually i feel camera's make them sound horrible.. lol

Let me know when you plan on going, Maybe Ill tag along. Who knows, we generate some interest we could spree for a track rental day and just go all out all day.
Those Headers look great!!, its on my to do list when some extra funds come my way or when I plan to blow up my credit card. How did they feel performance wise and are you planning on getting a tune after the install??

In the fall we are going to RENT out ATCO.
We get about 15 cars at $200 a person for 8 hours as many runs as your heart desires. I missed last Mondays meet because I had to work. You should definitely go… Once we have a official date I will let you no. (about a month in advance)
When i got the KOOKS Exhaust on I noticed a CRAZY POWER increase on the TOP end. From 60mph to 110 got SOOO much FASTER…!
The other night I took out two of my friends and they couldn’t believe how hard she pulled up there.. 0 to 60 not much different than before the exhaust..
I LOVE IT......:D:D
O and cant wait for the Marauder T-Shirts.. tank again..!

I don’t have a video or sound clip.. But From what I have heard online the spin techs sound like crap on the computer. But in person they sound AMAZING……….! :D
