I know theres a few exhaust threads on here right now but I figured you guys didnt wanna read through them again so I made a new post. I just bought and installed new Magnaflows # 14816. I had my guy remove the resonator and pretty much make it a full cat-back system. Its a bit louder than what I was wanting, I mean it dosent sound too bad outside, but once your in it its pretty overwhelming. Tomorrow im goin back and have a much smaller res. put back on. Heres a couple of pics...





Im liking it alot better than what I had... (wheels and all)




I made a video but putfile isnt working right now. Any other places to host??

 

How big is the file? Can you email it? I can host it if so.

 

nice.... that before muffler was something I didn't like on your car KC, but you fixed it... looks good..

 

Yeah... I dont know WTF I was thinkin
I believe I got my vid to upload. Heres the link:

Magnaflows

It may take a minute or two to load...

 

KC...Did you use stainless piping for your custom system. What was the price if you don't mind me asking?

 

KC, Gl;ad you got rid of the "sewer pipe" exhaust. The twin tips look MUCH better and close to stock. I personally prefer twin ovals, but the twin rounds are good. What resonator are you going with. Try to evaluate how the sound is with and without resonator. Im curious for when I get an exhaust.

 

Looking good KC, I have the same mufflers and it looks like they are a little bit uneven like mine (mine a bit more though), I think it"s the muffler not the install...I feel better.
They do look better than the old ones and the rims are sweet too!!
It's like a new Max for you...
Here's mine:

 

Nice set up! Let us know how it sounds once you get the new res. put on.

 

Yeah Ive noticed that they do sit kinda funny. It is the actuall muffler though... I got all the pipe made, the resonator removed and the mufflers hung for 50$. Its gonna cost me another 25$ tomorrow when I have them put a small res. back on. I shouldnt have taken it off in the first place. It was just one of those things you learn I guess

 

Has anyone been able to view my video? I cant get it to play...(on putfile)
Anyone wanna host it for me..?

 

No I can't get it to play either. Did you use stainless piping?

 

Yeah its all stainless. Have you guys seen the size of the resonator under our rides??? Also the midpipe has half of it leveled off for some odd reason. Ill take some pics tomorrow when I take it back. I took some today with my new phone, but im not used to having to hit save afterwards and I keep eraseing all my damn pictures..!

 

I know it looks like a freakin bomb shell or something.

 

That looks better than any aftermarket tips ive seen

 

Looking good KC...sorry I couldn't get any sound or video clips to you before u got the work done, but I warned you..it's loud without the resonator. I took a couple of videos yesterday with the digital camera, but it doesn't sound anywhere close to the real thing, so I never botherd sending em.

Hope it works out...did you feel any HP gain??

I didn't at first..but after two weeks or something it kicked in for some reason. I read on here somewhere that the ECU takes some time to learn the mods etc...but I'm not sure about the validity of that.

Sparq.

 

I had a new resonator install today... Much better! Now I can hear myself.

 

I tried but it didn't work. Warren

 

WOW I guess I have sewer pipes on my ride lol. Warren

 

Kinda looks like it, bro. Its ok, they are better looking sewer pipes. I just personally prefer twin oval pipes.

 

No problem, I love my sewer pipes.

 

If there was a good fitting rear valence that could come all the way down to the base of the Greddy tips, or even go underneath them and have them poke out of two holes (like the VW golf R32..I think thats the name of the hi performance one) It would make these aftermarket kits look great...You wouldnt see the mufflers hanging..thats what ruins it for me...or even if maybe the mufflers were painted black..that would look great too, and be even cheaper. If I ever get an exhaust I will consider painting the chrome mufflers with a high temp flat black.

 

Ramberg: As long as krap doesnt come out ur sewer pipes ur good to go. I think if a kit hung down below the mufflr it would look too low. Im not sure there is a way to make the sewer pipes look that good, but the paint idea would help.

 

Since I already have lowering springs, I will not install a body kit. Here in Brooklyn with the messed up streets, I would be scraping the bottom of the kit. I have no reason to hide my Greddy. Is the Magnaflow a cat back system?

 

It is now. My buddy did all the pipe work for me. Yesterday I had him put a small resonator in. The droaning sound was killing me

 

What kind of resonator? What are the dimensions?

 

anybody try leaving the stock mufflers and just having the straight portion of the pipe redone? I'm wondering how much muffling our huge resonators do on the cars.

 

Alot more than you'd think. If you have the factory res. removed make sure they have a smaller one on hand.. my .02!

 

Ive got videos of without the res. and with a smaller one. Putfile isnt working... Anyone know where to host?

 

sweet setup, the exhausts look very sharp. nice modding

 

Me likey - good job KC!

 

Very nice. I'll probably go with the oval pipes tho.

 

Send the files to jp@angelsofwar.org and I'll host them for you on my server. Put maxima.org and your name in the subject and I'll e-mail you the link to the file back so you can post it. Psst I like my Max quiet. :P

 

KCMAXX, you need to post some pics of the underneath of your car.

 

Those look real sharp. I like.

 

Never got the files???????????????

 

Heres the clip I made of the Magnaflows without any resonator. Its kinda hard to hear so turn up your volume. I'll make another with an aftermarket res, and take some under car pics later this week.

Magna Vid

Thanks to -AoW-JP for hosting the video....

 

KC, Man that sounds great. You said it was too loud without the resonator? Sounds sweet like it is.

Got my magnaflows today, getting them installed probably next Monday. I'll take before and after pics and try to make a vid.

 

Yeah it did sound good, but being inside the car at 60 mph, I couldnt even hear my self think. The droaning was so loud it would knock my radar detector off the glass! My wife and I had a little girl almost 3mo's ago and I have to think about her in the car now... It still sounds awsome the way it is, just more outside the car than in.

 

The Tim Talyor growl oh oh ohoh oh!!! Yeah Power!!

 

Wow what a nasty sounding beast. U sure its too loud inside?
