MAGNAFLOW CATBACK: false claims.
I almost bought a set of Magnaflow's catback for my 95 Z28.
In the advertising claims and articles written in aftermarket places such as Summit racing, and GM Hi-tech Performance ( to which I subscribe) they claim that the measurements are: 3" going into muffler and 3 1/2" going
out all the to end of tailpipe.
I think most people take what they read for granted. I even phoned up
Magnaflow and asked what they were, and they said the same as the articles, and advertising. Went to my Dealer, who had 4 in stock, took catback out of box and YES YESS ....they are....2 1/2" going into the muffler and out...tailpipe as well except the tip. Something wrong here?/ By the way part#= 15620..
95Z28LT1A4 Red w/Black Ttop: Holley 58mm: racetronix fuels system,
delphi/lucas 38# injectors, BeCool Rad, full race suspension, et.etc.etc.
..too much to list.

Check the part numbers, you may be able to get a 3" system and the exhaust shop just didn't have those kits. I believe the one I just put on my TA is 3" in and 2 1/2" out.

the one i had on my lt1 was 3" in and 2.5 out...
the 2.5 in/out was for the v6 i think
if it said 3.5 out...than it's a typo

Im guessing summit and Gm got there numbers from magnaflow, so that might be why they all agree.
