I did a couple searches but didnt find anything.

I ordered the Magnaflow 'split dual' exhuast for my 2005 h2 with adventure package which of course includes air ride.

I picked this exhaust because I liked the looks better as well as the instructions for the other kit (both tips are together and exit out the passenger side) specifically says 'Excluding Air Ride Suspension' however the kit I ordered did NOT say this.

So I tried to put the kit on tonight with my friend who has a lift.

There is no way this kit fits with the air ride components mounted where they are. The pipe that leaves the muffler and goes to the drivers side apparently is supposed to cross right where these air pumps are.



So, has anyone installed this kit on a air ride h2?

what kit do you have that is meant for use on a truck with air ride..?

I found out what happened.

My h2 is a 2005. Apparently an early 2005 example. It looks like the magnaflow can only work with late 05 and forward (due to the new location for the air ride pump assembly). So no magnaflow for me. I will be looking for a source for corsa which doesn't have the fit issues with air ride since it goes 2 into 1 at the same place the factory does.

Todd my Magnaflow instructions say nothing about air ride? They must have just added that to the sheet? I would still like to have a look at your set :crying: up

They havent added the air ride not to all the kits instructions which is a shame. The issue only applies to the early model year 2005 and back trucks. If I had the newer version the air ride pumps would have been tucked up further under the truck and not gotten in the way.

I still need to get back in touch with you to see what it looks like under your truck. Magnaflow said it will not fit but it is worth a look. (I know anything can be modified to work, but I didnt want to modify it)
