Question Magnaflow Cat Back

I'm thinking about getting rid of my Loudmonth exhaust system and getting a Magnaflow Catback system.

Does anybody have a sound clip of what it might sound like with my set up?

Hey Bruce

I went from the LM to the magnaflow... there's a HUGE difference between the two.

The magnaflow is MUCH quieter than the LM... hell with all my mods it's still quieter than when the car was stock with the LM...

however, the Magnaflow has a much more refined tone to it... I was skeptic at picking up a magnaflow, but Ryne talked me into it... it's got a healthy idle, is nice and quiet during normal cruising speeds... no drone... and has a great sound at WOT

I miss the Loudness of the LM sometimes, but I don't miss the drone, popping, etc... Not to mention with my mods now and the LM the car was just insanely loud... to much cop attention

I have magnaflow exhaust and gotta say that it's barely louder than stock, from what i've heard, lm is much louder but more annoying to some people...
I dont regret about going with magnaflow, since i will install headers and a Y soon... It should sound just right

Old setup was LT's, 224/228 cam, and LS6 stg. 2.5 PRC heads. Sounded great through the magnaflow. It's not "really" loud, but I can't find a better deal for Stainless and quality sound. I would choose it again if I had the choice to do it over.
