Default Got the Magnaflows installed today.

Just welded in some Magnaflows into the stock catback. Definitely an increase in sound. Slight drone at 1500-1900rpms, but coming from Mustangs & Flowmasters, I'm not too concerned with this level of drone

Not much louder than stock at idle. When I get on it, it's much louder than stock, but not ridiculous by any means. Overall, I'm happy.

...for now, that is

yeah magnaflows drone a bit but most aftermarkets do a bit. I love the fit, finish, and price of magnaflow but the sound has never really been my cup of tea but that is all subjective. I have alwasy felt that if you like the sound of magnaflow it is the best value on the market hands down. I unfortunatly like the sound of borla better which is not even close to the best value which always pisses me off.

magnapacks are rediculous on mustangs if you cats happen to fall off accidently. I am not even sure pissed off even describes it.
