It was for me. I just had minor adjustment and tightened.I hear what you guys are saying, but is it only me that feels this should been taken care of on Magnaflow’s end ?
I ordered mine from moddiction.com for $662.62 black friday deal.I called John at Hottexhaust and it sounds like mid December shipping. I ordered mine 11-26-18 and it is "awaiting shipping" . I bet they can't build them fast enough to keep up with sales especially with the 25% off sale recently. $621 or so at door is killer deal instead of the almost $1000 some other systems can cost. I hope it has good cab sound minimizing drone. I can handle distant thunderstorm rumble but a drone that carries on like a mother in law visiting for the holidays would be disappointing ......lol
****update #2**** Arrived Friday so I headed to exhaust shop and got it installed!! Very well made and larger diameter pipe. Factory was heavier with more twists and turns and big fat muffler. Magna flow sounds great at idle and makes you smile when you play high school kid with a hot rod. Seems to have more low end torque as it takes off with not much throttle. Eco light seems to come on easier when you back off throttle. Interior noise has some distant rumble (until you tromp on right pedal than you think you are in a Challenger instead of a big truck) This truck sets you back in the seat! It feels faster than it actually is, I am sure.
It gets nice and subdued when cruising and engine not doing much work. I am happy with my choice. Others talk about "break in" of system so will see how it sounds with some miles. I include a pic of factory exhaust.
. Seems they all ship direct from Magnaflow in Ca. I wont be able to get installed to first of the year, but will post a video.
For anyone is still on the fence. Hotexhaust.com is still running a 20% sale on them $662.62 if you email them and ask for the code. Fyi... I spoke with Magnaflow yesterday and they had 39 pt# 19429 in stock ( well 38 now
I took mine to my dealer. They charged me $150. worth it to me.
I recommend listening with headphones to get realistic bass of what exhaust sounds like. Also if person driving says something or sneezes etc it gives comparison for sound levels. Radio volume 6 is about enough to cover exhaust sound of easy non aggressive driving.
Still believe that none of the videos from anyone or any manufacturer gives you the same experience as listening in person. It comes down to the individual and their preference for what type of sound is best.
Kinda like Christmas morning as a kid and you just got a new Red Ryder BB gun rifle!
I installed it myself with no prior experience with exhaust installation and it was pretty cut and dry. It took me about 3.5 hours from start to finish to complete (removing stock exhaust and mounting the magnaflow). Let me give you a huge TIP. I spent a lot of time struggling to get the stock exhaust off the rubber hangers until i did this.. . Spray the Rubber hangers with some lubricant and use a pair of channel locks to get them to slide right off and re-spray when hanging new exhaust) Unless you son't care to spend the money on labor this install was well worth the time to do it myself
Where did you order from?
