FYI I don't think the regular magnaflows are considered chambered...they are more of a straight through...you can look through the muffler.
Where did you cut your stock catback and how high did you need to get the rear end off the ground to get the magnaflow over-axle pipes in?

I cut the pipes just behind the muffler on both sides and those were the only cuts I had to make. The old exhaust came out very easy and I did spray the bolts on the h-pipe flanges with some liquid wrench, no problems there.
I then took the car off the ramps and jacked up the rear end only about a foot off the ground and there was more then enough room to slide the pipes over the axle. Total install time was maybe two hours at the most. You do not need a lift to do this job and it was the easiest install I have done compared to other cars. The only thing that sucks is I wish I bought some band clamps before the install because now Ive got to take everything apart again to put them on.

I will also post in the exhaust section.

You don't need to take anything "apart" to put the band clamps on. Just jack up the rear again and take off the U-clamps, then open up the band clamps and slide them over the pipes, put the bolts through and tightern 'er up!
Sounds good but it got a little distored due to the grear roarrrr ahaha. Good gob!
