Default Magnaflow system

Anyone have a Magnaflow exhaust system (Mod. 15763)?
How does it sound, and how is the quality of the parts?

Thx.

I personally love the low, 60's muscle car tone. Borla's are close, but I opted for the Magnaflows. The quality is top shelve as well. It's a shame the mufflers are hidden. Borla tips are a bit nicer, but at the end of the day it was sound. I did have a slight resonance at 1500 rpm when cruising at 70 mph in 6th gear, which coincidently is 1500 rpm. Not sure about the Borlas though, no experience.

Several ways around the resonance; shift back to 5th, go faster, or change out the 3:42's for 4:10's. Guess which way I went

Good luck

I have the magnaflow and they sound really good .Not to loud but a nice growl on them.As you get a few hundred miles on them they get even more aggressive sounding.I am really happy with this system.

I have them as well -- they are very well made and the tips are the perfect size imo. The tone is perfect, but I admit I wish the volume of that tone was louder. Very little resonance, not nearly as much as the Borlas. Personally, I think it's a good kind of resonance.
