Cool Magnaflow cat-back installed

Got in the Magnaflow kit installed yesterday evening (finally). Good sound... I'm happy.

Only gripe may be that we weren't able to get the tips centered right-to-left in the cutouts (I replaced the lower valance with the GT). They're very close at the inside and top, but the 'extra' is noticeable on the outside, and it's probaby exacerbated by the 'flair' at the bottom. MIght coulda worked on it a bit more, but I think the way they're hung, the spacing pretty well has to 'register' off the top... and if they were centered, I think that may look even more 'off'. So for now at least, it is what it is. Which is better than what it was.



Also got the striping redone on the rear (to go UNDER) the Pony emblem and Sirius antennae). If you look closely, you can see the line where he'd cut the old stipe around the emblem on the initial install. I'm surprised that would show through like it does. And now that it's done, I'm not sure I like the striping on down the bumper. Would've been fine with the FORD striping, but this looks odd.

Looks fine to me, I have a similar system on my 05 V6, did you hear the sound of the car with nothing on it?

The shop had to move my car for some reason before the job was complete and it souded so amazing, my 5.0 souded like crap without its cats.

No, only at startup or if you were standing right behind the right rear. It's a helluva big difference. My buddy says it's louder than his Corvette at idle. They sound about the same to me. Of course, when he puts his foot in it... game over. That thing sounds awesome. As well it should.
