I just put the catback Magnaflow exhaust on my MCSC. Going to be installing the aero kit when the weather gets a bit nicer (ie no salt on the roads). From the looks of things, it seems as if the trumpetted tips of the Magnaflow may not fit in the space provided on the back aero bumper.
So, what I need to know is if anyone has the aero bumper (on their MCS or MCSC) and the magnaflow, and how do the tips sit in the alloted space?

 

It's a tight fit, but works well. The Magnaflow mounting has some small adjustment capable in length. The Magnaflow actually expands when heated from use as well. This expansion causes the trumpets to extend about an inch past the cold position.

 

Is this "adjustment" something that can be moved according to preference? We noticed when we installed it this weekend that the tips were angled more towards one side. With no visible adjustments we had to just yank on the tips a bit to get them more centered.
I have read a bit more on the subject since posting and seems people have problems with melting plastic and chipping paint. This is something I would like to avoid and if I can adjust the length of the exhaust when cold to clear the bumper then I would.

 

Hello again,
The adjustment in Magnaflow mounting is really only a length issue, variable in how you clamp the pipes together. The mounting of the bumper itself is where you will find adjustments side to side, although just a bit. The mounting was very close when I first did it and settled in a little after some use from expansion. I have no melting or contact. At this point I have however removed the resonator from my system as well, love the sound

 

I think the Magnaflow looks a lot better with an Aero Kit. Those tubes just seem to go great with it.

 

IMO, a Magnaflow with the huge twin-trumpet design looks out of place on a MCS w/o the aerokit. Even with my factory aerokit, I still don't really like the huge tips; once the weather gets nicer and I get time, I plan to change out the tips similar to the milltek style.

I have a slight amount of rubbing on the right side of the aerokit, but I accept the fact the world isn't perfect.
