Default New Magnaflow catback: $476!!!

Hi all, long time lurker; first time poster.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this system:
http://www.performancecenter.com/pro...oductID=831862
Looks like a good free-flowing straight through design. They call it the magnapack. Looks like it's probably loud like the XR-1. For under $500 brand new, true catalytic back design with x-pipe, I think it's worth consideration. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Carnut,

If you go to Magnaflow's website and click 'order online' it will bring up a list of online vendors. There are companies that offer the same catback for $476 w/ free shipping. I posted that one 'cause it was the only one with pics. Either way it's a screamin' deal though

Let us know how it turns out. I'm ordering up my Halltech Stinger tonight and need an exhaust to compliment it.

I was motivated to do some modifications when I caught up to my buddy in his '04 Cobra. Intake/Exhaust are his only mods and he walked me. Hard. We ran neck and neck when he was stock. Time to play catch-up

My only mod is the Vararam intake and I think it is great. I have the air in, now I need the air out.

Did you install them or did you have them installed. If you did it, is it much of a job?
