I personally would still buy the magnaflow since it is stainless steel

Sounds really good though!

I wasnt impressed with the stock car with just the catback, it sounded as quiet as mine did stock in that video. And a Magnaflow on a bolt-on car was louder than a cammed car with the Jeg's...this catback might not be for me after all, but Ill reserve judgement until I hear it on a bolt-on car...
Im not trying to sell you on the Jegs, but you must remember that Magnaflow, as well as a few other mufflers, will get louder with time. Magnaflow, in particular, has packing inside that blows out with good driving and time. I can tell you that Chad's Magnaflow definitely has some miles on it, cuz it is the loudest Magnaflow Ive ever heard. I dont know if the Jegs will get louder with time, but I actually hope it doesnt. I have a DMH cutout Im about to install so Id like to keep it quiet when its closed.

Another reason, Magnaflow is 3", jegs is only 2.5" but its still damn loud and sounds great.

Btw, on the way back from the mall today, I hit WOT in 5th and that thing gets so damn loud in higher gear+RPMs, it rattled everything in the interior. It was awesome.

That is correct. I was under the assumption Magnaflow was 3" everything...

I thought so. I knew it was a 3" catback like everything else. Most 3" catbacks have 2.5" outlets.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I've been considering making a change from TDs to a catback and cutout. This looks like a great option especially since I have tips I like already.
