Default Pics of my exhaust-ARH & Magnaflow

Here's a few pics of my header and exhaust stuff. Not the best pictures on the headers, but i figured i would share what i have. Basically the install was simple on the headers and y pipe, the motor mounts are another story though.

Drivers side

Passenger side

Ground clearance

Before the headers i had a GMMG on the car, but after the headers the car was a little loud for my taste so i switched the a maganflow. I ended up cutting the tips off and using some gibson turndowns which was inspired by Theblurls1's setup, then painting it all black.


I am really happy with the look and the sound. The magnaflow doesn't seem to have the rasp as i heard on the soundclips. I thought this could possibly be related to the y pipe merge.
Overall the ARH system is top notch, i could not be happier with the fitment and the quality of the products. The magnaflow is great as well, just didn't like the tips

Yeah I noticed this too. When I was deciding on an exhaust, the Magnaflow sound clips seemed raspy. Turns out it sounds pretty different in person. My Pacesetters/TSP ORY/Magnaflow setup doesn't have that rasp either.

Glad you like your new setup.

I have ARH's and a Magnaflow quad tip and there is no rasp. I think the y-pipe has something to do with it as well.

The merge helps but the cats play a much larger role. The ARH merge is decent, but the Flowmaster merge is a lot better by comparison, and cars still rasp with a Flowmaster merge and no cats. Either way, glad you're happy with your setup.

Not true. I have an ARH off road y-pipe, and have no rasp.
