Cheap magnaflow?

Pm'ed them and asked them the brand and the replied...
"This is a brand new Magnaflow part number 16636. If you send me your zip code, I can quote you our best prices shipped."
So I did and they replied with $610 shipped to my door.

I have a Corsa now and love the sound, but the fitment is sooo close. It took a lot of tweaking to get the pipes away from the driveshaft and the cans away from the rear swaybar. It is still quite close to the swaybar though, which bothers me. The Corsa is quieter when cruising compared to the Magnaflow, though (which is on a friend's '05), which I really prefer.

Yes, with the Magnaflow resonator you should experience less drone. It also has an integrated x inside. I don't know what the x-pipe only sounds like coupled with an LS engine, but I'm sure it's louder. If it were me, I'd had a couple resonated tips instead of the stockers. That'd make a full flowing and quiet exhaust. I don't like loud.

Hmmmm, I've thought about doing an X pipe with muffler deletes and some nice looking tips.
Doing OBX headers as well and need to look for some mid-pipes.
I've never been big on spending a ton of money on exhaust. Few things separate the most expensive from the mid line ones. Coming from the Audi community it wasn't uncommon to spend $3000+ on a full system.

I bought a magnaflow a few years ago along with a few other guys on CF for $420. I don't know if I would do it over again. I think you're just as well off to replace the stock mufflers or cut them off. I would def do an x pipe.
My magnaflow didn't line up with the stock manifolds and then a few years later when I put on the OBX Headers they didn't align very well with the magnaflow. So basically now my magnaflow is all hacked up to make it all work. But the magnaflow is the same diameter as the stock exhaust, so all you're really gaining is an x pipe and louder mufflers.
Oh, and I had an audi before this too, and spending $3K on exhaust is retarded. I know how proud some of those guys are though, but at the end of the day it's just a VW with a nicer emblem.

saying an Audi is a VW with a nicer emblem is also like saying and cts-v is a CTS with an additional emblems.
Their was a noticeable difference in quality and moving up to the S4 from the A4 was another vast leap.
