installed my catbacks this weekend.....I couldn't believe what I was seeening !!
I did not circle those defects.....I came like that from Magnaflow via Wunderbody car parts. I called Wunderbody and they are going to forward this pic to Magnaflow and see what they can do.

Take this for what's it's worth but magna flow absolutely sucks. They pushed these kits out too fast. I am on my second one. They don't fit right, you can't lower your car or you will have axle clearance issues and there customer service is even worse. They refuse to admit they have a problem at all. They would do absolutely nothing for me. I had to evolution performance chop the kit up so it didn't hit as bad, but really to no avail. Now I am just chalking it up as a loss and looking to start over.

I totally agree these magnaflow systems not only sound cheap! But they pushed them out way to fast and obviously didn't do much research on the 2011 model!! And the customer service is worse than there product!! I had the competition system on my 2011 gt and after numerous problems and arguments with the magnaflow staff I finally just took the system to the dump!! You do really get what you pay for! I now have the borla s type catback system and ya it's more expensive but when you get it install it and hear it in person you will no why!! And no problems whatsoever!! And there customer service is awesome!!

The sound is awesome but the build quality could be better.

Agreed. I have no prob whatsoever with the sounds. With my headers n x pipe it sounds like absolute murder, but the fitment is an absolute joke.

hmm. I had no problems with fitting it up....and it sounds good. Wundercarparts said mag would send me a new one. I told them that this was unacceptable and I needed some reimbursement to re-install the pipe.

after they talked to mag they asked me if I got any estimates from an installer.
I got an estimate for $75 bucks.
so now I'm waiting to hear back to see how they will compensate me.

What I meant was the fitment was crappy. The passenger side pipe is lower than the driver side, and IF u lower it, it will hit. Hopefully the company u bought it from will hook u up, because I would be greatly surprised if magna flow helps u out personally. I have had five mustangs over 15 years and have never come across a product that was so poorly designed.

The exhaust is hitting once again! Thats nothing new.

Im seriously considering selling it on ebay and going with something else and taking the hit. I don't have the means to fix it or the want to fix it anymore. It should've fit to begin with.

I'll have to part with the beautiful sound unfortunately
