Default Whats your experience with Magnaflow?

I'm thinking about getting a magnaflow cat-back exhaust. I had one on my v6 camaro and the quality was very good and the installation was very easy plus it sounded good for a v6 IMO. So i was thinking about getting this system for my Formy. I dont plan on doing headers and all that stuff for awhile because im only 17 and i dont have a big income. So what is your experince with magnaflow on the v8s? does it sound pretty good? and the $500 price isnt a concern to me cause i have a way around that.

Also would it look good on a Formula?(the tips that is)

exhaust

In my opinion, it sounds awesome. It's definately one of the better catbacks available for f-bodies.

The tips on the other hand...some people love 'em, some hate 'em. I think they look pretty good. Not the best, but alot better than some.

You ought to be able to get a better price than $500.00 if you look at some of our sponsors here, I'm thinking maybe less than $400.00. I have a Magnaflow catback w/Kooks longtubes/ORY and it has a very "robust' sound on the gas but relatively quiet at cruise. I had it pre-headers and it sounded great then too! Can't go wrong w/Magnaflow, IMO!

I have Magnaflow catback and it is awesome. Do not go with slowmaster 80 series. It slowed my Trans Am off the line, was loud though.
Flowmaster seems to flow better.
easy to bolt on too.
later
