Magnaflow Installed (Pics & Review)

I had my new magnaflow street series muffler put on today. It sounds very good. There is a little drone down low, but less than I expected even. When you punch it up above 3k it sounds awesome. Of course It's noisier (sp?) than stock, but it's definitely no ricer coffee can. I highly recommend it.

I picked mine up from interwebautoman (you know, the guy who shamelessly plugs his business very chance he can) I saved about 40 bucks over the local Magnaflow dealer. Brian's a good guy, buy from him.

Here's the before pic:

Looks way better than that old one. Did you go with new piping as well?

Yeah that old one was rusted so bad it was falling down (you can tell in the pic the back is sagging). No I have the same piping. It was replaced about 2 years ago and is just fine so I didnt feel the need to mess with it.

i'm thinking of replacing my round magnaflow with an oval one. it just scrapes too damn much on steep driveways etc.

I'm not lowered at all so I havent scraped yet...but it jsut got put on today so I can't say for sure.

I got it for right around 130 shipped. It was like 115 for the muffler itself.

Hey Rob, It's been awhile since I was in your old green beast. That Remus sounded tight. I'm not sure how it compares though since its been awhile. Plus all I have is stock Y-pipe and tubing and my magnaflow, so its not too loud right now and probably not as free flowing as yours was. That Remus was cat-back right? Those dual tips on your exhaust inspired me to get similar style...

I can hear my intake a lot better down low and when I get above 3500 the muffler starts taking over with it's nice rumble. It's pretty sweet

Here's a pic I just took...it sucks since its dark out but you get the general picture

Yes, yes, yes...but nothing too big. Also my last muffler was so rusted that the air had to go through a mesh of rusted metal...so i feel a nice improvement over that

awsm66 - its the straight through...well it has the one inlet you can look in and see it split into 2 "tubes" in the muffler. If that answers you question...haha
