Default Anyone want a free Magnaflow exhaust?

This note is on their homepage....

MAGNAFLOW Performance Exhaust is currently searching for vehicles to test-fit new performance exhaust systems and/or Direct-Fit Catalytic Converters. If you would like to register your vehicle in this program please read the following terms and conditions:

See link for full details:

http://www.magnaflow.com/10projectvehicle/prototype.asp

They have Mercedes listed as a "High Priority" for system development.

Just throwing this out there for anyone in the Rancho Santa Margarita, CA area!

Very tempting Bill. Rancho Santa Margarita (RSM for short) is only 15 minutes away. I would certainly sign up if the manufacturer's warranty has ran out, the vehicle is only 10 months old.

Good move Cyberdrakon. I would definitely sign up if I lived in the area. BTW, I really don't think any dealer would not honor a warranty because of an exhaust.

Somehow i doubt they'll pick me...I'm having some work done on my SLK right now...and i don't think there is that much demand for a magnaflow exhaust for the 55s, what with so many options already out there...oh well, here's hoping!

Hey you never know! They've been trying to become more of a presence in the higher end of things for the last few years so maybe they'll get back to you. Check out their Audi RS4 system, sounds good!

Yes it sounds good but in comparison to the Tubi exhaust sytem and the MTM the Magnaflow sounds like a Corvette whilst the Tubi makes it sound like a gallardo from downlow.
