Default Magnaflow Exhaust Installed !!

I got my Magnaflow muffler put on last week and boy does it sound good. I did away with the CATS so it has that little rasp that I wanted. Once I hit 3rd, 4th or 5th and the rpms are around 2200-2400 she really starts to scream. And on a engine rev it still has a slight deep tone to it. This will do me until I go with true duals.

Magnaflow is great! It will get louder in the next couple weeks. My friends even noticed it got louder without me saying anything.

I don't think mine even took more than a few hundred miles. A few wot blasts will take care of it really quick.

I have Macs, ORY and Magnaflow and I love the way it sounds. It's now getting to where if I drive past a row of cars at a slow speed I can get at least one alarm to chirp. Can't wait till I get my cam installed.

me and my cus went out cruising last weekend and I do believe my Magnaflow muffler is getting louder. I mean this thing screams when I get on it. Later on that night I found a parking deck and I went all the way to the bottom of it, I was in first gear and slow pressed on the gas until I got to 2100 rpm and let off I mean that damn thing echoed all through the parking deck. It probably could have been heard for at least a mile away. I really like it, don't know if i want to go true duals.
