New kit for our 67-72's, add is a misprint on the 66, they were in my
buddy's shop the other day and this was in the New catalog, it wont be that expensive, but it is all SS, 2.5" Dia, and Mandrel Bent :c2: *This is a 2wd kit, others are soon to follow, according to there Rep. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=Trucks&id=76 |

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
Magnaflows are my new favorite sounding muffler. I'm certainly not spending $600+ for their kit (although it does look good!)

Everyone missed this part, and believe me it may not be your cup of tea, but I have SS mufflers only, 2.5" Aluminized pipes, no X pipe, & mine was almost $500 w/ tax, this is supposed to be priced in that range, for show trucks, all SS everything, and of course it's Mandrel bent, I'd buy it, jmho. *In comparison, the LMC kit is $200, but you get what you pay for ;) |
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
what's the benefit of the x-pipe? That kit does seem pretty expensive.

Better Flow = Increased Performance, I used to work at this shop part time for 3 years, it was a blast learning about different grades of pipe, mufflers, and tips, how long they last, how fast they rust, the funny part is when you start pricing all of the components of this kit from others like Jeg's or Summit, the x-pipe in SS is anywhere from $100-$200 by itself, then SS mufflers, & then all of the pipes are SS to, I could not buy it for less than $500, and of course Mandrel bent pipes have reduced corner galling, from normal benders which also gives you better flow, a standard bender loses 2-5% in the curve. |
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
That's a nice system! The price is good for stainless. If I was going to keep a truck and drive it a lot...that is the way to go.
I am wanting to know if the header pipes attach to ramhorns...bolt on and go or ??? I assume it is for SB not BB. Where do the tailpipes exit? They need to offer both out the side and out the back. Truckin Mag says that 2.25" mandrel exhaust will flow as much as a 2.50" muffler shop system. That's a lot of loss from those flattened bends. |
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
It's also only $496 from Summit... heckuva deal if you ask me. Around here, you'd spend $500 pretty easily on a dual exhaust setup with crimped bends and cheapy fake flowmaster mufflers.

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
I would buy it, if I could figure out how low it hangs. I also want to run through the crossmembers. I do want stainless though. I wonder if they're making headers?

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
think i'll settle for my flowmaster from a shop 375 compelte
|
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
Man....I was skeptical about the LMC (HeartThrob) kit, but for the money...I'm satisfied.
|
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
interesting and about time, would like to see one installed. I have used complete flowmaster kits on two different vehicles and they were the most complete fit and finish of any aftermarket item I have used on any of my vehicles, worth the extra money in every way you look at it
|
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
i have always found it to be cheaper just to take it to a muffler shop and have them fab something up it is usually cheaper and you dont have to do any work yourself
|
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
The kit looks good! I just brought "the man" out of retirement to run exhaust on my C/10. He has at least 30 years in the business and takes his time. He ran the exhaust on my K/10 several years ago when he still ran a shop. He ran aluminumized pipe for me above the trans xmember and through the ECE xtreme drop trailing arm Xmember. He also managed to get over the rear end with a 6" drop (some people have said this is a problem). It's not pieced together either. I have one piece of pipe from the manifold to the muffler and one piece of pipe from the muffler to the back of the truck. It's not pieced together all over the place. He also welded in a H pipe for me. I provided the mufflers and he did everything for $220 bucks! I couldn't be happier!:metal:

Anyone try this yet?

when I did my 4wd I spent almost that much and have aluminized pipes. |
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
$642? I don't think so....
|
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
I'd could replace my Thrush for 20yrs and not spend $600 bucks!!! Exhaust and air filters are way over rated.

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
Looks like a nice kit, I would like to hear it hooked up to a SB Chevy, deffinately plan to go with the SS pipe when the truck goes back together I plan to keep it forever so the exhaust might as well be up to the task.

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
im running magnalfow universal 2.5" bullet style mufflers on my 97 suburban but its a true dual setup and it has 2 mufflers its loud but sounds great. spent like 125 on mufflers+ tips came out to like 175 then to get the pipes bent and all welded up and installed was like 325 so looks like right around 500 and thats basically muffler back... this is a pretty nice setup.
|
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
That's a good price IMO.I was quoted $900 for a mufflershop system.Aluminized too not stainless.O'course this is canadian though.
I can get good prices on steel so I'm thinking about buyin a bunch of stainless and putting my TIG machine to work building a true 2.5" system. |
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
Remember, cheapest doesn't usually win in the long run. Looks like a nice setup and a good price.....but with my limited $$ and sooo many things to buy/fix, I'll end up doing a cheaper setup. This dry desert air should help it last long enuf.

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
wow thanks for the find, ive had a itch on there kits for a long time....there is just one thing iam gonna add to that system tho...some electric cutouts after the headers....there is just something bout lil hondas when you pull up to a light and they wanna rev there motors at ya thru a 4inch tip....click of a switch and BAM straight header, ill just let the cam do all the talkin:metal: ... thank you very much for this find, i didnt want to hafta pay some overpriced exhaust place to replicate some halfass setup that dont sound right

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
Kit is $499, not sure where the $642 came from, but go to Jeg's or Summit
and price the following, let's see what you end up spending vs. the kit ;) 2.5" SS pipes from the headers all the way to the tailgate, (This is a Minimum of 4 standard sticks of Exhaust tubing) 2.5" SS X-pipe, 2 SS Magnaflow Mufflers, and 2 SS tips, & that is not to mention that all the pipes are Mandrel bent. (99% of all muffler shop pipes are NOT mandrel bent or SS) My buddy who runs a shop came up w a price of $450, and that is his cost on all the pieces above w/out his profit ;) |
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
$499 for stainless is cheap.It will last the life of the truck. Nothing else comes close. I made a single stainless exhaust for my 6 cylinder and probably spent close to $300 in pipes,muffler , ball and socket collectors clamps etc. Chris

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
Now throw in some headers and you've got a deal! :D
|
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
anyone know what the minimum diameter is on 2.5" pipe vs. the 3.35" stuff with crimp-bends? I know it can't be the same 'cause I've seen pretty good differences in flow when swapping up to regular old 2.5" pipe. Just wonder how much difference there is in diamete at the bends. For that matter, what about 3" pipe with crimp-bends?
I'm thinkin I'll probably just go with 2.5" standard pipes when I upgrade to headers. It's not like my 402 is going to be spinning that many RPMs anyway, even if I do some mild engine upgrades. |

I'm just curious as to how they deal with the center crossmember issue. |
Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
That is a heck of a good price in my opinion! I need new exhaust from the cab back for sure, and its only 2" at the moment, so I'm thinking this may be a good choice for me. Anyone know what manifolds or headers this system is supposed to hook on to? I have 2.25" ramhorns with the curve at the bottom.

Re: New - Magnaflow Exhaust Kit
<$500 for a complete dual exhaust made of mandrel-bent SS with mufflers ain't bad at all. Any muffler shop would charge at least $300 for the same in inferior aluminized pipe with restrictive, crimped bends and likely inferior mufflers too. While I don't prefer Magnaflow mufflers, that is a system for the well-powered truck you're going to keep long term. Assuming it comes with all necessary brackets and fits well.
