Ive now owned my 02 ws6 a4 for a little over a month and ive put some lca's, sfc's lid air filter lt headers,ory,and slp loudmouth catback(and i hate the exhaust sound). So my question is would i gain or loose ANY hp but installing a 3" custom magnaflow catback(full 3" piping all the way to the exhaust tips?

your slp cat-back should be the same size as a magnaflow cat-back. even if it was slightly bigger, your not going to be anywhere near too big with a y-pipe of any brand. plenty of people run 3'' pipe on true duals, i used to.

nope. just to be clear, your just swapping your SLP cat-back for a magnaflow cat-back, right? so you'll still be running a y-pipe just like a stock set-up? just making sure since you said "custom"

Ok cool...so i found this seller on ebay that is selling a 3" magnapack, ive read alot about them and ive came across the fact that i like my car being super loud but i just dont like that raspy sound at higher rpms, so as i was researching magnapacks i read that they sound very similar to the magnaflow catbacks for f bodys just slightly louder since its a straight through muffler(bullet style) and that they actually uave a deeper tone to them instead of that loud abnoxious raspy sound...so im gonna go ahead and switcth out my loudmouth resonator and weld on a magnaflow magnapack and see how that sounds! Hopefully everything goes as planned
