^ EVERYTHING out flows flowmaster.

And waterbug, of course it's loud. You got a big ol' lump stick in there.


I traded the LM that came on the car for a magnaflow and love it. It's nice and smooth, but definately noticable. It can be too quiet at times, but I'm planning on getting a cutout when I want to be obnoxious. All in all a great system, I love it.

I've got a magnaflow muffler from the catback if you want it. PM me if you're interested. Came off of a friends car, sounded good...similar to hooker but louder.

Good system.

One thing to note : It get's a little louder after a few miles on it. However, for the most part, it is smooth and has a nice tone to it.

If you are going to add Long Tube headers, any cat-back is going to be really loud.

And it's have - not hafe

I really like mine, I'm glad I went with the MF. With longtubes, it sounds perfect! We'll see how it is when I get my cam.

I just installed the MagnaFlow catback on my car. I replaced the Flowmaster that was on there when I purchased it. Install was a snap and sound is awesome. Idle is very tame and cruising is very tolerable but when needed, the exhaust has a good bark to it. I have a MagnaFlow catback on my truck and teamed with Stainless Works longtubes it is unbeatable. Cant wait to throw some Kooks on the Camaro and see how it sounds. Good choice in my opinion. Oh yea, the exhaust tubing itself is made of 409 Stainless so it will rust/tarnish as most OEM exhausts do if you drive in wet weather. The muffler and tips are made of 304 so they will never rust but will need some polishing from time to time.

I have the Magnaflow catback on my ride. The sound is kinda quiet to me at idle but screams when you get on it. I have KOOKS lt's on order with the ORY. I'm eager to hear it when i get these installed.

I have had it for some time now. It is a little quiet at idle but it sounds good at WOT and at cruising. It is true that it does get a little louder once you get a few miles on it. Nice cat back for the price.

Ohhh..... You're gonna get a woody when you add the Kooks setup to your Magnaflow C/B. I get a lot of compliments. It is still kinda quiet, especially at idle, but only until the tach starts climbing past 2500. It sounds like a silverback gorilla with his nuts in a vise.
