Default Magnaflow Cat-back. Is it worth it? Good or bad?

Just curious about the magnaflow cat-back system. It is a 3" 304 Stainless Steel Tubing w/ 2 Magnaflow mufflers for $380!!!

That is a hell of a deal, because Magnaflows are the best flowing mufflers, but is the cat-back any good?

Anyone have experiences or know of anyone who had experiences?



Thanks in advance,
Andy

Where can you get the L98 cat back for $380? Or is it simply the two mufflers for an LT1 for that price? It is usually 550 to 600! I have never heard a complaint about this system.

That is $490 AND includes the Y-pipe. The prices on that webpage are honestly 70-100 dollars less than the other lowest website prices. No clue how they do it :cheers:

It's in Mid America also, but they're asking $500 :eek:

I just have the mufflers and I love them. A guy with a Callaway has the cat back system. He seems to be happy with them.

Andy - before I got my Corsa's I did some research into the Magnaflows.

No Y-pipe for the LT1 system. :( That is the L98 system.

I am sure you could make a y-pipe work for your LT4, but I know you would certainly have to do some fab work.

I know the picture shows Y-pipe - but it doesnt include one.

How do the Magnaflows sound? I just ordered a Flow Master Cat Back System, but the Magna Flows look much better. If they do flow better, look better and sound better then the Flow Master system and cost the same I might return the Flows. What do you guys think I should do? :yesnod:
