Default Opinions on Magna Flow cat back???

Anyone have an opinion on this setup. Ive heard good things, just looking for some input. I am looking for a cat back that sounds good and flows good. I still have cats and stock headers. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks

Great sound. Not too loud, even with headers. Somewhat deep sound and it screams at high RPMs.

Should be a great system. I used their exhasut on my mustang and it fit like a glove. Captain SS posted a while back about there being negligable gains on his Heads/Cam car switching between Magnaflow catback and a cutout.

I had Magnaflow on my old '99 Z28. That car had stock internals and stock manifolds/cats, and IMO Magnaflow was just to queit/mellow for me. I like it a little louder than that. The muffler is a straight through design though, so I'm sure it flows excellent <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

of all the cat backs ive used and heard( Borla, loudmouth, corsa) the magnaflow in my opinion was alot nicer looking and sounding. It has a more refined deep sound to it but it is not as loud as some(borla open, loudmouth) so if you want a decently priced cat bnack thats sounds beautiful >3500 rpms then the magnaflowis for you

Sounds great with FLP`s too.. especially in the higher rpms.

Nate at nasty performance one of the board advertisers said he would match that price in another post in the GP section Id give him a call

I think the magnaflow is a great set-up and you cant go wrong w/ it. the results of CapainSS 's tests were that the difference between the two were basically nonexistant.
