I've had a Magnaflow muffler under my truck since summer 2003, I could still polish it and put a shine on it.

No tail pipe since a shock relocation got in the way. No cat since a transfer case got in the way, but the Magnaflow is still awesome, and sounds great.

I wish my JBA header hadn't started to leak at the collector, that's annoying.

Stock Y pipe was still in good shape until I crushed it, hope the replacement lasts as long.

One of these days I should upgrade from the flex tubing I'm using to something legit.... but welding mandrel bends together doesn't really excite me.
