Don't worry, the SC whine will drown it out.....

With many on here running the MagnaFlow and not reporting drone like yours, any chance its rubbing somewhere? that along with report of plastic burning would go hand in hand.

 

pretty positive the burning smell is from the system breaking in, i smell i from the exhaust.
i checked and double checked for any rubbing before i took the car off my ramps to start up, will check again.

 

I did not pay too much attention to the flanges, but did i need to apply some sort of sealant, or is there some sort of replaceable gasket? Trying to pinpoint what i did wrong.

How tight should these flange nuts be tightened?

 

Great walk through. Put MagnaFlow on My Charger...was thinking of doing the DD too.

 

Others have mentioned that Magnaflow has significant drone at idle. This is from a thread from dodgedurango.net by Old Bear who switched from Borla to Magnaflow. He also noted noted bad drone with the Magnaflow at idle (last post on page 4).

Drone is more bothersome to some people than others. Personally, I can't stand it, which is why I am holding out for a Corsa exhaust.

 

i am waiting on corsa too, the dealer i purchased from suggested turning off MDS with diablosport tuners and that should alleviate most if not all of the drone.

 

Ok I ll jump in here.
I too have the Magnaflow system. The system does have some drone and I only hear it when it is in MDS so turning that off will all but eliminate it. I only hear it when radio is turned way low. If it is set at my normal listenening level no drone. My family never heard anything strange or drone I only did because I was looking for it.

There are no gaskets required at the flanges. Just double check in the back where the resonators hang the mounts will be close to the unibody pinch weld. If it is hitting there , it will make this drone more pronounced.

Time for me to check on my X pipe, looked at the magnaflow drawing again and apparently the x pipe might be directional. The tubing looks a bit different on both sides apparently, But close enough that i never noticed until i 2nd looked the instructions. Hope this is my problem! If not i'll try magnaflow tech support, i can't even get through to them!

 

I think it only goes on 1 way due to pipe diameters and exhaust flow
