Default Just Ordered the Magnaflows

I was able to find a set of Magnaflows for the C6 at HottExhaust.com, the person I spoke with there was very professional and very good to deal with. I was told that the systems will be shipping early next week. I will post some pics once I get them and when I have them installed.

They gave me a great deal, which included shipping and was below the listed price on their site for PN 15884, give them a call, and they will be glad to help. I was asked not to mention the price, because it may be below the authorized minimum that Magnaflow allows advertised.

Did you notice a performance bump??? Sound at idle? Cruising speed?

I haven't had a chance to put them on yet. When I get them on, I will post what I think they sound like, idle and other characteristics(and hopefully some pics as well). I listened to the sound clip on the Magnaflow site and it sounded nice there, I hope it sounds good on the car.

They look and sound great on my PR coupe! Stop by our March 20th C6 event in Orange, CA to compare with Corsa, Borla, etc.!

Default take hp numbers with a grain of salt.

When magnaflow had my car for R&D they dynoed my car at 359RWHP after the install they Dynoed my car at 372RWHP. Now, after my Kooks headers and high flow cats install my car dynoed 373RWHP at superior automotive. It's a dynojet and I've had many pulls there before with my C5 and now My C6 It's accurate. Does this mean that long tube headers with 3 inch collectors 3 inch high flow cats and 3 inch x Pipe gave me zero HP? I think not. So be carefull of what you believe. Don't get me wrong, I love the magnaflows sound. There great. Best looking unit I've seen. Great quality you'll never be sorry you bought them. As for hp numbers; remember there just numbers. BTW, after tunning on another dynojet dyno, I made 386RWHP. Seems about right.
