its passes smog.... otherwise i wouldnt have gotten it. the company is based out of california where there all about protecting ozone. jsut like every1 buys those headlights that are also meant for offroad use

 

Aaah man, Baddog, let me know how it is, I still have about a week or two before I can get it. Hope it's what you wanted!

Good Luck!

 

Jebus' I called ptuning and spoke to them about the Magnaflow exhaust for the MP5 and the salesman put my mind to rest. He said they have a nice deep growl sound and not very loud. The tip is a mirror finish oval shape polished aluminum about 4" across. That sounded GREAT to me and $343.00 delivered to my door was a good deal!

Thanks again!

Well, Today is Thursday 7/15, and I'm waiting for the FED–EX delivery man to bring me the Magnaflow exhaust! Can't wait to get it and put it on. I'm also going to paint my brake callipers at the same time. I'll post pics when done.

 

I finaly got my Magnaflow exhaust and had a local muffler shop put it on. Here is the scoop!
The shop calls me at 4:00pm on Friday and tells me the tail pipe is sticking out about 7-8".
They had to cut off 6" in the tail portion of the exhaust so that it would line up. I was very pissed at ptuning for selling me the WRONG EXHAUST! They sold me the pipes for a Mazda 3 instead of Mazda Protege 5. I called them and gave them HELL!!!

The Magnaflow sounds great and looks good too! It does help with more power but not a whole lot. You don't notice a power gain untill you reach the higher revs.

That's it for now. If you order this system DON'T order from ptuning.com.

 

DAMN. Do you know where else I could order it from???

 

Jebus, I'm not shure but I saw a thread that mentioned a group buy for the magnaflow around $256 each. I believe they allready had the 10 buyers they needed. Shop around I'm sure you will find many retailers. I'm still PISSED OFF at ptuning.com because I called them directly and told them what I had and spent 15 minutes on the phone with the guy before I ordered the exhaust. STUPID ***!

 

So no one knows where to get the magnaflow cat-back from?

I'm thinking there was somewhere else that I know of but I can't think of it right now.
