Installed Magnaflow catback 15768 on MKS

So I got a great deal on a Magnaflow catback (part #15769) off eBay so I figured I would give it a try even though it doesn't specifically list the MKS as a compatible vehicle. Well....for the most part it fits.  The tips are not exactly centered in the rear fascia, guessing it's a little different than the Taurus.  Also, the Maganflow engraving doesn't sit exactly at the top of the pipes, they are rotated towards the fenders slightly.  Overall I think its fine I just need to keep taking my OCD medication  :wacko:

As far as the sound, at start up there is a slight burble.  In low gears there is a nice deep tone, not crackly or overly loud.  At cruising speeds there is absolutely 0 drone and the sound level difference from stock is negligible.  When you stomp on it infidelity makes some noise, but again nothing crazy and doesn't sound ricey.  I should note that I have catted LMS downpipes and also left the 3rd cat in place.

Here are some photos.

Very nice write up.  Good to know that Magnaflow will fit the MKS.  I have been debating a catback exhaust and Magnaflow is on the top of my list especially if I could get it for what you did.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Looks very good on there Bee,make sure on your next oil change or so to retighten those bolts cause they get fairly loose due to heat exposure,good luck.

The tips are polished and the rest of the system is 304 stainless.
