Engine Just picked up a new magnaflow cat

Just picked up a new magnaflow cat

So ive had the stupid p0420 code on my rolla forever now and i already changed out the front o2 sensor so im trying the cat cuz i have to get my emissisons done b4 january and school starts so i got this its a magnaflow direct fit cat w/ resonator it looks really nice the welds seem good and its mosly made of stainless steel so should look decent for a while. but ill keep u guys posted on it if i have any fitment trouble just got to get some clamps to put this new one in cuz my old ones are shot and ill most likely break them when i try to take it off

heres some pics

Looks nice

Looks good bro I have one on both my corolla's

did u have any trouble installing them or still geting cel codes

magnaflow makes some nice exhaust system and if you still have a cel change out your catalytic converter i would of done that when i changed out the o2 sensor.

got any sound clips?

yah so DONT buy these stupid thing if doesnt fit on our exhaust. the rear fits the muffler but who cares because the front where you mount the downpipe to the cat doesn't fit. its the exact same size pipe as the one on there, its like 1 7/8 where as the the pipe is the same and thus doesnt fit. i tried cutting the pipe and squeezing the tube but still didnt fit so now im PISSED Off took me all day, and i ended up putt my stock exhaust on and now i have a fartcan rolla. and then to come to find out my brothers fucken vw brakes i just changed 3 months ago are grinding. wooohooo

sounds like it was an interesting day...

Sounds like a typical day for all those trying to make modifying a corolla work. You can try really hard but the car itself will frustrate you beyond measure and constantly remind you of how shitty of a car it is until you either boost it or buy another car.

Makes me wonder why even keep this forum name TRD if all you do is put down corolla's ..... LMAO

any suggestions on what i should do i was looking at thes pipe expanders but i feel like i would crack the cone shape on the end and would need lots of power to do this i have to wait till 2morrow to call them to see whats up. man i wish i could weld.

flex pipes ftw

bring to a welding shop and let them what you need to do,they should have all the tools to do the work.

Hey bro I found a DIY about your headers http://www.corollacarclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=diy&action=display&thread=25



Hope it helps

any updates?

yah i called magnaflow twice left a message twice and no response im going look into getting a muffler shop to maybe fix the front tube. cuz i just want my damn cel to go away and my car not to sound like a pos honda

Take a picture of your problem so we can see

well i put my stock on back on beacuse i need to drive it but its the last picture i have wit the funnel shape on the end thats the end that doesnt fit

i've never had a problem putting on a magnaflow system. are you sure you it wasn't a user error?

did you buy that off ebay?

You know a clamp goes around that funnel area and if your having problems then see how much a muffler shop would put in on there usally cheap since you bought the equipment

yea that's where the muffler bearing usually goes

no it wasnt user error and i didnt buy it off ebay i got it off a site that sells cats, the pipe didnt fit i measure it there identical size so if u can explain how 2 pipes of the exact same size fit over one another then i wouldnt be asking for help

They don't, which is why you don't try to put two pipes of the same size together. I made the same mistake when I bought a new muffler for my Tacoma...nothing the shop couldn't fix with a welder, though.

sounds like user error. shop, welder, done.

This should slide into your new muffler system
