Default Another Technical question on....

Cat back systems. I know "you get what you pay for", but why is the Magnaflow (15660) setup with X-pipe almost double that of a Borla, Corsa or GHL setup I see being sold? For some reason I keep gravitating to the Magnaflows but want to be comfortable that I am not over paying. Any in-sight will help.

Thanks and Happy New Year

Ed

I am not sure that the other systems you are talking about come with the x pipe. I know that the Borla Street performance system which has true mufflers like the Magnaflow and also the Corsa systems are between $800-$1000. Figure in $250 for the x pipe that Magnaflow sends with their kit and they are all about the same price. When I bought mine I found them all to be fairly equal pricewise and just made the decision on sound and quality. I have been very pleased with my Magna's but all of the ones you mentioned are known for having above average quality.
