Magnaflow Catback questions
Hey all,
So I'm pretty fortunate in that A&A autostores have asked to use my car to be on display at the Carlisle show this coming weekend, and in exchange install a FREE Magnaflow catback on it. I do have npp, they said it was 100% reversable and no cutting or anything of the stock exhaust (a must for me).
I'm not sure if it is there NPP exhaust, or the straight through one, I think he mentioned that the rear mufflers wont have actuators on them (I always have my sound activation management off, and fused pulled, because even the stock exhaust is a bit quiet, but I figured if I went louder I would want the option).
Anyway, anyone have any experience or sound clips with it? I can only find short ones. Also, if it does eliminate the rear valves, are the front valves for the npp enough to quiet it down?
If I dont like it I can always take it off, which is a sticking point for me. I do run in stock car type events, so it may put me in a different class for a few things, but again, I can always reverse it.
Thanks for the input.

On a car that has the optional NPP exhaust I wouldn't run any aftermarket catback that didn't retain all 4 valves. You should definitely ask for clarification on this.
Regarding Magnaflow though, I ran their catback on a previous car and was impressed with the quality and fitment.

This is exactly what I thought / explained to them. They said they werent sure. Either way, its free. Let them put it on. If it doesnt work with the NPP / I dont like it, Ill sell it and get a set of arh headers with the stock npp exhaust :p

When I put my 1 7/8 ARH long tubes and x pipe with no cats, the exhaust was loud but I didn't like the sound, and sice I have the NPP, I was afraid of putting aftermarket mufflers. However, I got the Magnaflows and I love the. It is true that I can't play with the sound but since it's not my everyday car, I don't mind.

After reading a lot of post against changing the NPP mufflers, I was somewhat affraid, but eventhough it´s one sound, for me it´s the perfect sound!!
