My apology thread to Magnaflow... Well, it's official; I'm eating all the comments I've made over the last two years about Magnaflow being garbage and sounding like crap. I'm putting a cam in my car next month and I knew I had to do something about the LM1 (with LT's and ORY) on my car. I was going to put a Magnaflow bullet in the I-pipe but I felt that it would still be too loud for a 30+ miles per day DD so I traded my LM1 for a 6,000-mile-old Magnaflow cat-back. WOW! Why didn't I do this sooner? I still think the cannon-tips look dumb as hell but I have a CME valance and tips going on next month as well so I can live with them until then. To Magnaflow and the owners I've pissed off in the past, I'm sorry.

Thanks guys. I liked the way the LM1 sounded ok, just didn't like the noise all the damn time. Plus, a close friend let me borrow his heads/cam SS with a lm1/ory for 2 days and I had enough. I figure that a quieter exhaust was preventative maintenance for next month's cam swap. I don't plan on a cut out either because they sound terrible to me. Thanks again guys!

I think magnaflow sounds great,at least you came out and said you were wrong.a lot of people kind of just go with the pack,but it bothers me when someone makes a thread about magnaflow and 20 people rush in and tells the guy how bad they suck,when maybe only 3 of them have ran one.I give ya props though man,I can tell ya, you will like the magnaflow,having a crazy loud car 24/7 sucks.good move on the cme,I also could care less about the tips,try and post a clip when ya get it on
I'm glad you like it. I don't see how people can hate on it. Maybe its not loud enough on a stock car but these cars can get pretty freaking loud, especially with a cam. I love mine, it doesn't wake the neighbors on cold start up but if I get on it, it sounds great.

I would really like my 'cannon' tips if I could just get the ****ing things straight and centered!!! But I also used to think I didn't like Magnaflows that much...till I got a used catback for 150 and installed it after I ran headers with an open ORY pipe. Love the tone. I wouldn't mind if it was louder at idle, but the tone is so deep and smooth.
