Hi DeepBlue. We're glad you like the GXP-CAT and Mag set up. Nice sound clip. Please keep us posted on the engine light. Possibly the Mag O2 bung is in a different spot than ours?? If your light stays off it would be nice to know that others wouldn't have to go through the O2 relocation. Thanks.

I have over 100 miles on it now, no engine lights.

Their instructions are 2 inches aft from the center of the original hole and then 1.25 inches towards the passenger side. That wasn't low enough for the magnaflow. I needed another 1/2 inch.

Definitely curious as well if you get a CEL. The welding of the new bung is what's been delaying me ordering this. I want to make sure to find a reputable exhaust place that won't mess up. If you find the magna doesn't require a new bung location, it'd make things a whole lot easier.
Nice sound too. Idle rumble sounds delicious. Heck, throw an aggressive cam in there and it'll really start to sound like a v8, heh .

According to one of the original testers he did not get the CEL until he had about 500 miles on the CAT cleared it with the Dashawk then it came back at around 1000, not a big deal really if you have a Dashawk. I got a code at 168 miles cleared it and hasn't happened again.

Jeff,
Thought you might like to see the most recent picture of my car with the new wheels and your center exhaust (RCD-2) on. I will post some sound clips with the high-flow cat from the next run i go on, which is the Hudson valley Run.
Update: with the #2 O2 sensor in the original location on the Magnaflow exhaust with Solo's two adapters, I have over 750 miles on new cat with no codes or CELs.

this is very excellent news. Keep us posted as the miles keep comin
By the way, we magna owners appreciate you treading into unknown waters for us. Pretty soon, i'll jump on board and finally see what i'm missing.
Also, could you elaborate on the adapters? i didn't see them in the install instructions.....then again, i was so excited i might've missed them
