A few years back I installed a complete Magnaflow system with X-pipe.

I did modify the mufflers so that I could have tips out the back instead of turndown tips 

this fall I was spending time with my wife as she was getting a liver transplant and killing time on the internet and decided I needed something to do so I purchased some Flowmaster mufflers 

with some alterations I will be able to install them in place of the Magnaflow mufflers and not screwing up the system so if I want I can change it back easily
Im sure this will end up in one of those times when I say “what was I thinking”

I’m going to cut this pipe and weld it to the Flowmaster mufflers matching the Magnaflow mufflers

then I will see if I need to expand the tube or if I can use a butt connector to attach it to the exhaust pipe.

 

next I will have to add a pipe to the outlet to match the angle that I did to the Magnaflow so I can attach the tips.

Just a little fit and finish work
