Dual Magnaflow Exhaust Install W/pics

[yellowjacket]

Just came from the shop where TNAV03 had a Sweet dual setup ( In my humble unbiased opinion, as he had the exact same setup as me installed ). We both have Magnaflow 12258 Muffler Single in Dual out installed with dual custom piping. I have pics of the install that I will post. 260 out the door, not to shabby The magnaflow is specially designed for the 5.3 engines in our AV's, and sounds good, not to loud not to soft. Just right. Think of the three little bears story. YellowJacket

Here is his finished dual's SWEEEET. Looks like it is factory finish. I will post some pics of my exhaust tomorrow. I hope this helps anyone out there that is interested in seeing what a dual setup would look like on a AV.

By the way, if anyone is looking for this same setup in my area, the guy at Clanton Muffler here in Huntsville is GREAT. He has over 40 AV's under his belt, so he knows his way around our beasts. HIGHLY recommend him. Email me and I can get you his address and number.

YellowJacket,
THAT LOOKS SWEET! I bet it sounds ad good as it looks. I am wondering , is that rust on your driveshaft? I have a Z66 and it looks like it is a bigger driveshaft and is all aluminum. Also I noticed that your front diff seal has a small leak, better keep a eye on that.

Well , actually the proud owner of this particular AV is TNAV03. I am sure he will be looking here so that is good info for him. Good eyes Z66 Butch. And, it does sound as good as it looks.

Thanks it is sweet this guy is a "PRO" when it comes to exhaust Yes it is rust interesting....
Z66Butch What pic did you see the front diff seal leak? Just curious as I know there was a lot of WD40 spraying while removing the Corsa.
A special thanks to YellowJacket with out whom this awesome sounding Z71 AV wouldn't have been possible

Check out Magnaflow3 pic....there is a oil stain right in front of the front seal.......could have been WD but its in the right place for the seal to be leaking.
