the tips are definately love it or hate it...most people are hesitant when they see them in the box, and just about all of them love them once they are on the car.

I paid $325 for my Magnaflow and it was brand new. That's damn cheap for what you get.

Having owned a Loudmouth and headers, I think this is going to sound ******* sweet when I put headers on the new car.

Magnaflow is pretty quiet in comparison, but if you get in to the throttle it gets pretty loud. Nice rumble all the time. While cruising you'll never get annoyed by your exhaust. Plus it looks really nice.

I had to look around, but there's a few places to get them around here. Remember, a sucker is born every day, somebody will pay more.

The SLP 2OTL is one of the best flowing systems under $400. I also like the way it sounds. You might want to look at that too.

Good luck.

I got the magaflow catback a little over a year ago and it gets sweeter sounding the more miles I rack up. It will get louder on a car with headers and cam but still won't sound ratty. Definitely the way to go IMO. I also had the 2OTL SLP catback from the factory on my 96 SS and it had a nice deep rumble to it as well.

All borla is if you have the right system is a cutout. That is 30 bucks to have done. And magnaflows are all stainless!!! But if you really want the power and sound, True duals! TSP makes a bad *** system.
