Magnaflowing

Post by sk8r78 »

After years of sitting by listening to all the whooping and hollering about the Magnaflow exhaust, I was fiinally able to purchase it. Right away I noticed a difference, I don't know what to contribute the new found power to tho, the fact that I had a crappy home brew set up before or that, the Magnaflow really is that good. I know my old exhaust was too free flowing and I lost alot in the way of bottom end and top end was okay but it seemed like it really took awhile to get to the limiter. Magnaflow gave me back alot on the bottm and has a very linear power band to the top. I think so far, it is quieter, but has a very authorative tone under acceleration. I am completely satisfied with it. Fit and finish is excellant, easy install. I have that "Oh what a feeling" back again. Love it. I got a great deal on it , from neverenough.com I really like that 4" polished tip sticking out for the world to see I'm Magnaflowing.

I'm hoping to get a Cosmo intake and a Magnaflow catback around Xmas time. I can't wait.

an intake and magnaflow exhaust in my opinion really compliment eachother. The magnaflow exhaust has very noticable gains but from what I heard can suffer a little on the low end. But put on a cold air intake and that basicly removes that issue. I put my magnaflow on after my intake so I never noticed any loss in low end.

Sorry but I was so excited about the new exhaust I wasn't about to let a rainy day slow me down, and on top of that I had to drive about 3 miles on gravel to get to my brothers house, so real life got in the way of a clean car. Beggin' for forgiveness. Rural life, not all roads are paved, believe it or not

The Magnaflow cat-back is without a doubt the best way to go with for an exhaust. There are a lot of parts for the vibe, that can be disputed as one being better/more beneficial than the other, but Magnaflow really stands out to me as being "the best of the best". Glad u like it as much as I did when I first installed it.
