Soundclips > pictures, sometimes, and that time is now. :D

Mack is Mackin'.

Looks great with the 350Z wheels. I like those but I liked the slanted cut tips a little more.

LOL man I was well on my way to getting some killer sound clips when it started raining! The luck! I'll get some soon guys. Doesn't sound as mean as the Chern beast but boy does it sound good. ;)

Looks great... I can't wait to get my Magnaflows so I can join the club. I prob won't start until the spring but with all the floks on here get their exhaust now, I don't know if I can hold out...

BTW Yes sound clips are a must.

Looking good bro!! Welcome to the magnaflow club!!

I LOVE MY MAGS!!!

and mack.. does it sound as good as mine :P lol jk ... i hope so since they are the same!

Welcome aboard!

very nice indeed. Sticking out too much by my standards but looks great regardless. What else did you change in your exhaust system, I am sure it wasn't mufflers only. What dia. tubing did you run?

That's how pretty she looks!!!

looks very nice!! did you compare the Mags with any other brands?

..........

....... what?

The only reason after market pipes look bigger sticking out is because most are bigger in diameter, have thicker and better polished sidewall and OEM pipes have shorter outer pipes to go more with the curvature of the rear bumper where as after market mufflers (duels) are equal length thus the outer ones stick out more. Hands down your pipes look 100% better then stock IMO. Great job!!!

Thats why I was looking at setups with short'er tips.

Now, I am by no means saying that his setup is not nice. Yes it is 100 times better than OEM. Its just that I am looking for a "tucked-in" style.

I've been quoted $300 for a job. It's a pro shop and the guy says he will do it right without cutting corners. Thats for replacing the crimp, doing the split and installing the mufflers. I just need all the 411 for the IDs of the pipes from you guys.

I wanted Mack to answer your question. I had to have 10 char. in order to post.;)


BTW the 14816' can be moved back. Mine don't protrude the rear bumper.

Dude, I'm a big advocate of doing what you think is best for you, I'm sure it will be different, but I'll dig it for that same reason...:D

Love the wheels, thinking of the same set up.

KCMaxx is right. These can easily be adjusted by the exhaust guy putting these on. I let mine go with his instinct as he does incredible work. Also, these really don't come out as much as it appears in some pics, like Chern said they are just SOOO much bigger than stock it may appear that way at times. Checkout from this angle and you may agree. And like Chern said, 100% better than stock for sure. Also, the guy widened my pipes from the Y-Split back. Not sure what dia he went with but it was larger than original.

By the way Xoom, I considered some of those as well. I bet the 14807's would look great. 4" TIPS!!! If you go with those DEFINITELY post some pics! I'd love to see 'em. Thanks Cal. ;)

Mack, what all did you have done? When I had mine installed (14816) I had them replace the stock resonator w/ a Magnaflow and also removed the "crimped" piece. The sound is amazing... Much deeper that just mufflers.

I haven't messed with the resonator but if I knew Magnaflow made one I would probably consider it. My next step is the Y-pipe then go from there. Sound is already incredible but I'm damn sure curious what your sounds like. Got any pics of that baby?

Isn't the "crimp" necessary for back pressure? Or am I thinking of something else?

KC,

I'm looking to cut off my greddy mufflers for a cleaner look and the 14816 caught my eye as well as the shorter 14805. But I only chose the 14805 because the 816's were out too far one of the reasons why I want to get rid of the greddy mufflers. How far in can you have them moved? I would want them almost flush with the rear bumper but out a little because I plan to do the stillen rear.

any CELs or power loss at low range???

same question here. Chern, KC ?

what muffler would make the tips look like stock, like the "thin" metal look? i think jsmith had it on his max.

What would be the point?

Yes, however if you are installing performance mods and have an A/F management computer and get it Dyno Tuned, you can help your car achieve the true potential of the performance parts as well as HP gains...

chern,

If I don't have any computer now and don't want to dyno tune it yet what can I possibly change without throwing CELs and/or loosing power. Even if it was purely for cometic reason/noise. I was thinking of changing the crimped piece and everything from there on. Should I also change the resonator? Eventually y-pipe would be changed too.

Also, my understanding is that there are two options as far as the split goes in the back

either do 2.25" into 2x 2.25

or do 2.25" into 2x 1.75" which I think was the way catman had it split. I think somebody already asked this question in another thread but I didn't find it answered.

cattman uses a 2.5" main tube split into two 1.875" tubes

thanks for correcting me on this.....anyone else wants to take a stab at answering the rest?

do all the magna muf sound the same? (14816, 14807 etc?) also has any install the mags and removed the stock resonator if so is it too loud? Thanks

I went with the 14807's since I wanted a more "tucked in" look with the tips flush to the bumper- just personal preference. Also I liked the 4 " tips because they blend in better visually with the muffler

Sorry to go off topic, but where did you get that roof spoiler? Doesn't look small like the Ionic one...

mack: to be total sleeper!

Now THAT is a great idea my friend. I digress. The "sleeper" is always a sweet strategy for sure. :D

And MadMax. Thanks for posting not only the rear shot with Magnaflows but the front vanity shot as well. You can really makeout how good the exhaust looks from that angle. ;)

Sweet jesus that looks good. Can you provide a picture looking straight at the rear from behind.


hmm rear from behind, that was weird. Anyhow, can you?

I didn't notice any power loss with the "crimp" removed. If anything it felt stronger. I'll post some pics of what I had done (again...) :)

A few pics....
