Default Got my cat-back yesterday

Got my MagnaFlow cat-back . Can't wait to get it on the ole girl. Main reason I went with it is cause it's stainless.

Got the maggy catback on my wife's car with cam, long tubes and hi flow cats, and I really like the sound.. no drone inside, quiet idle but gets loud when you nail it.

Love how it sounds compared to the flowmaster that was on the car. I'm still running stock manifolds and stock y with gutted cats for now. Long tubes and ory are coming soon.

Car feels stronger with it compared to the stock piping with a flowmaster muffler. It's quieter at idle and when i get on it , than before.

Magnaflow is a great quality. I liked it at first, but after a while, it was too quiet for me. Thats with longtubes, ory, and a 230 cam.

I think he is hoping the stocker will choke the exhaust so not as much emmissions. Idk about that one. If you have no cats it probably wnt pass. Here in Cali if you have LTs it's a automatic FAIL!!!
