Finally my first "mod" to my GT. Magnaflow Magna pack axle backs! now if i could just get off 12 hour shifts and get know knowledge on how to install them...i cant wait!

[Wigsplitter]

oh and thanks to the site for the discount code too!!

[weeloGT]

Awesome deal, and installing them is a breeze!!! If you need some help let me know. I have done a few sets in the floor of my garage. Doesn't take much

[Blackout_03]

ahh gonna sound great. SUper easy install!!!

[horspwr]

Nice! You'll like those....

[Wigsplitter]

From some of the reviews I've read people with 2010's have had issues with them not lining up well after installation and it has req'd some bending of the hangers to keep the tips from sitting against the rear valence. That is where I will prob have issues as I don't have a vice or anything to bend the hangers to get them on right. If someone has a means or way, any help or inputs are appreciated!!

[weeloGT]

To bend the hangers use like a large box in wrench and slid the hanger through the box in part and use it as a pry bar to bend it which ever way you need. I have found this to be the quickest easiest way. Might not make sense in words, but when you see it done it's super simple

[Wigsplitter]

Yeah I thought about that as it would prob be my only option to bend them if needed. Depending on how tired I am tonight after working my 9776274rd 12 hour shift I may try to tackle it tonight or at least start it. Where about in Cabot do you live? I'm right past Mt Carmel baptist church off 321.

[weeloGT]

I live off 321 as well down near 89. I live in the neighborhood where all the streets are named after calls. I won't be off til like 10 cause I work on base and off base at a tattoo shop. But if tomorrow or Sunday you want to tackle it let me know in case you don't get to it before then

[Wigsplitter]

LOL. I live on Corvette!

[Wigsplitter]

Are you the guy that works in ISO hanger?

[weeloGT]

Yep yep!! That's me

[Wigsplitter]

Do you work down in ISO hanger? I work 19AMXS red/silver section

[Wigsplitter]

Bah! Dang phone wasn't showing my posts! Cool. We'll have to meet up sometime

[Wigsplitter]

Well...got the stock exhaust off no problem but the new ones dont line up at all and i guess being a little guy, i just lack the strength to bend the hangers on the new pipes enough to get them lined up...i'm just going to have to put the stock ones back on and take it some where when i get the money...

[weeloGT]

How bad off was it? I have never messed with the2010s but I know when I had the mac's on my 06 I had to bend them a little

[Wigsplitter]

passenger side one was pointing completely under the rear bumper. The drivers side one is alot better but the hangers are shorter on it and i can seem to get them to bend.

[weeloGT]

Oh wow. I thought they only needed minor adjustments. Did to compare the two before installing to see if maybe the hangars were completely different. That right one does sound like a exhaust shop may have to relocate it to work. Martys muffler in Jacksonville does great work. I have used quite a few places in the area and been happiest with their work and prices. I know some others on here will say to use a shop in Sherwood but for how highly they speak of themselves, every job I had done looked like a child did it and they price it high. Plus the price I was given at time of drop off was never what I paid, it was always more! Not to mention I work to jobs and was going to be lazy installing my xpipe on the 06 so I went to drop it off and have it done and they quoted me $150 to put it on, and that was if everything went smoothly. Then when I said I'll just do it myself i got my keys thrown back at me. So I'll never promote or do business with those guys again!!!!

[Wigsplitter]

yeah, i just found martys on google and was going to give them a call. The right one just seems to be to far out of line for me to deal with it.

[Wigsplitter]

Time crunch and martys ain't answering the phone so I'm at ar performance exhaust now getting them put on. The had to cut the hangers off the passenger side one already.

[weeloGT]

So where's the pics?? Like someone told me once. No pics=it never happened. Haha

[Wigsplitter]

i'm still having issues with them lining up properly. The guys at APE said that it looks like they were made improperly. So i'm in talks with American Muscle to see what can be done. I'm hoping for reembursment as honestly i'm not happy with the way they sound. I was hopeing for much louder exhaust. I drove the car down to APE with no mufflers on it at all from when i removed the stock ones and i LOVED the way it sounded.

[weeloGT]

If you like that sound when you had no mufflers, then the slp's or moroso muffler delete tailpipes would have been a good choice. But I think they sound like crap when you really get on it. To be honest let someone drive your car and you'll be surprise how loud it is as it drives away
