Default Magnaflow Exhuast

I see everybody has Stingers or GHL's! Does anyone have the Magnaflow Exhaust?

Speak Up!

my friend has them they sound deep but not loud at all. I would say they are quieter than the Z06 Ti exhaust.

I have the Magnaflows they are a great system and I like the style of the tips and pipes real quality. They quiet at Idle but when you jump on it they wake up pretty good. They are not as loud as most system but it depends on the car set up. I agree they sound like Z06 set up.

Its not loud compared to Borlas and the rest of the systems that I ever heard. IT does have a good sound but not over aggressive. Check out Magnaflow web site they have a sound track there.

I love mine. Deep aggressive sound that is very tolerable driving around town but sounds awesome when you get on it. My longtubes made it even deeper sounding. The polished mufflers and tips are very

Everyone likes different sound levels. It's a deep rumble that's not obnoxious. Just perfect for my tastes.

I agree. I have had most systems out there and finally decided these are keepers. Just right, not too loud no resonance.

I have them with the X pipe and it is a very different sound from the GHl and Borlas. The magnaflow sound is a lot like the old muscle car sounds of the 70's and 80's. The quality of the overall system is far superior to GHL and the workmanship is second to none. Check out the web site and you will be impressed. Just my .02

Hi here is a web address for the magnaflows I have. The picture is not an accurate depection. This system does not curve to the outside of the car like other cat backs, it runs straight from manifold or headers to x pipe over axle and out the back with dual tips. It has 4" glasspack style mufflers installed so it does not need all the bends and the large opening for the mufflers. There is a video of the sound available on the web page. I think these are as aggressive sound as any catback that uses a muffler. I really like them and they are very light because of eliminating the 4 90 degree bends and all the extra pipe associated with that in the stock and most other cat backs.
