hahahaha now that's funny. I think it sounds amazing. I went with the Borla X pipe and the mags and it is music to my ears. Can't wait for the spring to hear more of her.

LMAO! I think it's still too quiet with the Borla X pipe.

Your vibration is probably coming from you license plate frame. I put some double sided tape between the frame and license plate and the license plate to the car.

Problem solved.

I don't use a plate frame. Definitely sounds like it's coming from the interior, as I can't hear it outside of the car.
Ugh...gremlins.

Boy, the difference in sound just isn't picked up by the GoPro.
I would say it is nearly twice as loud as stock, but on the vids I took, you just can't tell.
I'll have to get some in-car footage with some rev-match downshifts...
With the Borla X and the MF exhaust, even sitting idle, you "feel" the rumble. Sounds SO much deeper in person.

These are both overnight cold starts, so I didn't get all rev-happy, just started and let it idle.

Before - stock X-pipe and stock exhaust:

After - Borla X-pipe and Magnaflow 19236 exhaust:

Sounds awesome but my COOCD is peaked with the unevenness of the tips, I know you said you like it that way just looks like a half-*** installation

I feel like it’s coming from the plastic trim around the back window somewhere. I’ll try better to track it down

I haven't noticed this on any other installs, but mine form a nice little arch. I don't know if they're "supposed" to... but I like it.




Straight down from the top. Got mine nearly perfectly flush.

Try switching the center connecting bracket around perhaps? I spent a good amount of time on mine and got them lined up perfectly.

Yeah, I'll probably give that a shot. I wondered if those plates/brackets may have been welded off a couple degrees.
I figured if the two brackets are bolted together clean and tight...that should level them out? Guess not.

Can you take a peek at yours and see which bracket is on top? THANKS!

There is no top or bottom, you have to bend the brackets a little to get the pipes to line up.. I think that was the hardest part of the install.. most people screw up the tails not being flush. yours is spot on..

I had to put a few washers in between the brackets on two of the bolts to get mine to line up just right.

I wondered about trying to bend them...was afraid I'd snap a weld.
Thanks, I had seen the talk about them sticking out 1-2" and made sure that the joints were completely seated before tightening the clamps.

I like this... I'm gonna give the washers a shot.

It's not that much louder at WOT with my Borla X-pipe though. But idle and cruising volume is perfect now. Xpipe was ok. Now it's as i've always wanted with something noticeable and throaty even just cruising. Sounds so good. The raspiness is gone now.

Thanks, VictorBarron for the tip!
This is exactly what I was hoping to hear... i find just the x pipe makes the car sound raspy.

I had LTs green catted mid pipe and this catback. It sounded amazing.

Anyone know where I can get a good deal on one of these... just got an email from APEX Racing that the one I ordered was damaged.

I and a number of other members ordered our Magnaflows through Ebay. We saved just a ton of money, like $1,300.00 or more.
I started this thread awhile back.

Here's another option, not as inexpensive but looks great.
