Got a Magnaflow cat back. Direct bolt on?
I just bought a Magnaflow #16815. It supposed to be a direct bolt on to the OEM dp correct? It looks like its too short to connect to the dp. The Invidia comes in 3 sections and has the flex coupling and I know that exhaust bolts right up. My cat back it in two sections and I don't see how its going to bolt up with out adding a section of pipe. If anyone has this catback how was it installed?

I bought it because I thought it was a direct bolt on. This is not what I wanted. Guess I will return it. What a PITA

Yea I was looking at that. It's not missing any pieces. Thats exactly how it comes from Magnaflow. I just wished it was a direct bolt on like the Invidia. I Like the 3.5" tips better on the Magnaflow and have always ran Magnaflow on my other cars/trucks. I may still go with the Invidia.

I don't have this exhaust, but that Magnaflow kit is a cat-back exhaust - as in, from the 2nd cat back. Its not designed to go from the downpipe back like the Invidia. You will have to measure the length of the Magnaflow system and accurately cut off your stock exhaust after the 2nd cat to make it fit. An exhaust shop should be able to handle it easily.
