You might try some socket head cap screws or button head cap screws. You need M10-1.5x20, preferably in stainless steel. That way you can prevent the thread us from getting corroded or packed full of dirt, without sacrificing the look you like. A drop or two of Loctite 242 thread locker will keep them out, but allow removal later.



All the best,
Dave


Thanks for the tip Dave! I be sure to do that when I take the Beadlock rings off.

Took it in for an alignment and oil change. It didn't come back. Had a wobble show up recently so I asked them to find it. Ends up they are replacing 2 of my Duratracs because they can't balance them. Really odd they are only a few months old with a couple thousand miles. Oh well I get 2 new tires for free.

Modified my magnaflow 15588 setup as I was getting bored with the sound. Replaced the resonator with a corsa delete pipe and drove it like that for a while. Sounded much meaner but too much drone as expected. On the highway above 70mph the drone was pretty much non existent surprisingly but around town it was way too much and way too loud on startup for me.

Next, I replaced the magnaflow muffler with a Dynomax VT which is the one with the bypass valve built in. It took some fabbing for various reasons but the result is outstanding! Best I can explain it is that it's like a cross between a corsa and corsa extreme. It has that same mean corsa tone. Nice rumble on startup but you're not waking anyone up at 5AM and it settles down quickly. Absolutely whisper quiet at highway cruise (zero drone as advertised) with sound level increasing with throttle input. If you step on it hard it cracks like a mother effer and you get that extreme effect.

I'll try to get some video and post up in the exhaust section.

Here's what it looks like. They had an issue with the valve rattling on an earlier version but have fixed it. Has a lifetime warranty if something fails.

Just got this in.. Magnapack.. Waiting on the turndown pipe! Hoping I have no issues in MA with inspection where someone told me anything louder then stock could be failed..

Post a video and tag me in it when you do. I'm looking to do the same setup when I get home this summer.

Also, are you planning on keeping the resonator?

Thanks,
Scott
