Hello,
I did have to make one minor modification as I do have a 1750 with floor-mounted pedals. I am including a picture of the slight indentation needed to be made to have a safe spacing of the system. It was not an issue of particular note. Here is another sound clip.

Thank you for the details. The picture is much appreciated. Exactly the area I was wondering about. Sounds great (or as great as it can through my laptop speakers)!

WOW Hans that video looks and sounds great!!
Glad to see you are happy with the system and that you were able to get the fitment for the floor box with minimal modification.

Nice clips and great sound Hans. I like how the 'crotch cam' captured the tachometer.  Was your engine recently rebuilt? Cuz you're sure babying it. 
I keep dropping hints that I need a video camera. My MagnaFlow exhaust video would start off with the reverberation inside my single-car garage. Next would be redlining up Palos Verde Drive East, ending with a ROAR through the Long Beach Airport tunnels. "Honey? I really need a video camera!"

Will the Magnaflow fit my '67 Super? The mounting points look questionable.

I have a question for everyone who has these installed. Did anyone's low end torque suffer? Mine has. It opens up well in the high revs and sounds great. But around town with low revs, it doesn't come up as fast as it used to.
Did anyone re-adjust their cam timing to help? This is on a Spica system. I have oversized valves and polished intakes, and Wes' A16 cam (10.2mm, 240 deg).
My muffler guy who installed it (owns Porsches and is a Euro hp guy, not a V8 muscle car guy) wonders why the secondary pipes are so short before the merge and is not completely in favor of the the design, although he marvels at the workmanship.
Any comments on performance from anyone?
Thanks

You might have some adjusting to do with your modified SPICA. Every Alfa that we have dynoed to date has shown and increase across the board in both HP and TQ with the system without any exceptions.

Gifford,
Do you have the stock handbrake linkage or have you modified your car for a GTV style e-brake between the seats? I know I would have to lengthen it, but worried about clearance up front.

I don't know when they switched it, but my '72 Super had the handbrake on the floor between the seats.

Just wanted to add my 2 cents in.
As far as I am concerned Magnaflow is a Joke! I ordered a direct fit for my Alfa that was suppose to ship that week. Well, three production delays later and I'm still looking at maybe getting it in another month.
If Magnaflow is publishing availability time on their website than they better meet it.
My recomendation is pay more and go with another vendor!
