Default magnaflow exhaust

I have a 05 sxt neon and i am thinking about addaing a exhaust systemto it. The only one i found is from magnaflow. Part number 15801. the pic it has looks like it just comes right off the header. But anyway. My question is does the 05 sxt have a rear sway bar? The Additional Information on the magnaflow page said if i had a rear sway bar the exhaust system would not fit. Can anybody help me out????

Look under your car at the rear. The sway bar is one that connects both sides on the suspension. If there is a bar connecting them then yes you do. I don't believe the SXT's do, but I'm not positive. Hope this helps

The SXT should have a sway bar the SE's are the ones that don't.

My '05 SXT doesn't have a anti-swap bar that I could see and I looked when they had it up on the stand putting that Flowmaster 50 Delta on it. Unless you're going to run a lot of other stuff on the engine you'd be just as well off simply getting a muffler(FlowMaster, Maganaflow, ect.) and replacing your stock one in the standard location. I had mine installed and a killer looking tip for $245 and really, I don't see where a cat back system would have done any better simply because I don't have the engine mods to take advantage of it. At a later date when I can find a Magnum head and I add a header, intake and 60mm TB then I'll add a 2.5" exhaust pipe to help with the extra flow but for now the 2.25" pipe works ok. It's your money, spend it anyway you like.

I hope you are meaning that the Magnaflowwas the only one you found that u liked!.. cuz there are a ton of exhausts and mufflers out there that will fit a Neon... doesn't have to just fit an SXT, any for a Neon will fit any Neon...even an SRT exhaust- if you like really loud.

Stick with 2.25" tubing if your going for performance. Even with the strongest N/A build, 2.5 is just too big. I can bring up a graph to prove my point if you like. You simply need over 400 whp out of our engines to justify a need for 2.5" tubing... and that won't happen N/A.[8D]

and I decided to find it ANYWAYS, because I am awesome

Going by this graph, it shows when exhaust sizes become too restricting to N/A power, you can see that 2.25 is MORE than enough for any N/A build.

*EDIT if you were looking for mufflers, you have:

-Borla
-Magnaflow
-Vibrant
-PaceSetter
-2 kinds of Thermal R&D's

You have less of a selection for FULL exhausts with MagnaFlow and Borla.

Well Damn son, that is good news. Guess I can not worry about going 2.5", that'll save me some money for something else. Guess what else I found out, the Carbon/Plastic Intakes on the 2.0L engines are suppose to flow pretty good because of the use of the smooth plastic. Think I'll look into a header, free flow cat and a 60mm TB and keep my plastic intake. Why spend money some something that's not going to help HP. Talk to ya'll later.

LOL, it's just a tip. I went with it instead of one of the round "monza" style tips because EVERYONE seems to be running either the round tip or the duel tip, I wanted something different. Also, it helps to manage the sound a little bit.
