I cant win i installed the magnaflow and i like the sound, however there are fitment issues. First of all the hanger on the driver side tail pipe is way too tall, doesnt really do anything (seems like the rubber mount just sits between the hangers and doesnt provide any support) it actually interferes with the original metal hanger i had to cut my rubber hanger mount to 1/3rd its original thickness for it to even go on there. Is there a reason they designed the hanger this tall? Is it supposed to be like that and im just doing something wrong? the second issue is the passenger side tailpipe/tip is way closer to the center of the car then the driver side tailpipe and looks terrible. I slid the tailpipe as far as i could off of the muffler as possible without getting a leak so it would look better but its still offset (the passenger tailpipe needs to be extended out of the muffler more before it bends to come out the back) . I emailed magnaflow and am waiting for a response. Here is a pic of the hanger im talking about, it seems like it should be about 3 inches shorter.

looks like it needs another bend in it to shorten.

What the last exhaust original? Could someone have moved your mounts?

Have you search Google imaged for your year and looked at the other installs? Maybe backup with a pic and let us see your install.

I have the SLP Loudmouth 2 on my black Camaro and I don't think it's too loud, even at low speeds. Rest of the exhaust is stock. I like my Phab cat back on my red Camaro, but it is loud....even before the cam.

sure you didnt get the L pipe on each side, on the wrong side, they look close enough to get crossed
