So my magnaflow is literally coming apart 8000 miles into its life, and they wont' even answer the phones or email for support or help, so it's coming off. I need a replacement - Prefer catback so I have less to explain to the emissions *****, but this time around, after fighting for 6 months, I want Quality - I want the best possible fitting exhaust that's made. Flow numbers are second in importance, but most of all I want it to fit like it was stock and made for this car. What's the ~best~ fitting catback out there?

My magnaflow was awesome quality. Suprises me you are having problems. Try Borla or Hooker. Heard both are good.

Actually you should deal with the retailer you bought the Magnaflow from and not the manufacturer directly.

My Hooker is not the best fitting but I do like the kind of exotic sound.......

Given that they offer zero support, I don't plan on using their product anymore. Neither when I wanted to talk about fitment issues, or the problems I'm having now, have I been able to get a hold of them at all, either via phone, email, or pming a rep on this or other boards.


edit: It's also not only hte muffler - the hangers are wrong, and one of the pipes is cracking already.

Corsa fits like a glove but you're going to pay for it...

I had to have one of the welds for one of the exhaust hangers rewelded, the pipe going to the muffler from the y-pipe was to long and had to have that fixed. The same weld broke again, seems like the fitment is stressing the system. I watched the guy weld it there no way it should have broke with that but some how it did.

I didn't like the sound of my flowmaster but it sure as hell of a lot better, the magneflow fits like crap but has the sound I like its all kinds of gay.

I have a corsa on the 02 and a borla on th 98. No problem with borla, developed a rattle in corsa that they replaced. Both fit great. My Corsa is almost 7 years old.

The corsa has the dual outlets, does it not? How raspy do they get with cats + LTs?

my magnaflow fit great no problems whatsoever and its been on for a year. still looks as good as the day it went on and sounds awesome

My Borla has dual tips and also a baffle so you can adjust how loud it is. I have ARH lt's w/catted y and no baffle. It is not real loud until WOT then it screams.

i was gonna say Corsa too, or Borla or GMMG. in most cases, the more you spend, the better the quality.

my $275 TSP Rumbler fits amazingly well. its a tight fit, but considering you can install it yourself its excellent fitment

My Hooker catback is the best I've had for fitment and sound. I paid $319 for this exhaust three years ago...quiet at idle and roars at WOT.

I don't get it... Mine is faded, looks like it's 5-6 years old, and is barely holding together (not to mention that the driver side hanger is at least 3" too long for the output). It looks cheap as hell

you should be able to install all of them yourself, I thought?
