Magnaflow systeem

[Mr. Lee]

Anyone has the Magnaflow 19303 and 19304 installed on a 69? Thinking about buying it but would like to hear some experiences. Thanks.

383 or 440?

It's made out of the 409 stainless steel that rusts, contact TTI. They custom bent my complete exhaust system out of 304 stainless for around the same price. They can only bend it around Oct. - Nov. when they are slow.

BTW, it fit like a glove.

Ok I heard about fitment problems with 383's.

Thanks for telling me about the 409 steel, didn't knew that the material would get surface rust.

Bit pessimistic on those lifespans I think. My Alfa still has its factory aluminised mild steel exhaust after ten years and about 150,000 miles....Only just bought a replacement due to three pin holes in the rear silencer....rest is solid but with heavy surface rust....but I'm replacing the lot. And my wife's Merc SLK has its original 409 stainless system on it with only light, patchy surface rust....after 20 years....and that's in salty wet England!!

Thanks for the input.

I'd rather invest a little bit more knowing I won't get surface rust.

Betcha the reduced lifespan of aluminized exhaust is more correct for aftermarket exhausts, which are generally much thinner than factory. ( They say lighter for weight savings, I would guess that, and cheaper....) I had an aluminized Gibson aftermarket exhaust rot out on a pickup truck here, in less than 10 years. That has never happened to a factory exhaust in my neck of the woods, that I'm aware of. Alberta Canada is cold, but pretty dry...
