Question What is the best exhaust to get for a Crossfire?

what is the best kind of exhaust to get for a 2008 crossfire limited coupe? I was thinking about getting a Megan, Magnaflow, Cherry Bomb, or Borla exhaust. What would you recomend?

Where are you getting these HP numbers? Folks have been verifying less than 1 to 1.5 HP for the exhaust for many years. Do a search and read some of the results!

You are gonna get so many answers... I like the Magnaflow sound myself, but there is so much you can do, if I were you, I'd attend some GTG's and listen in person to what others run and make up my mind that way.

It's all up to person taste as to what is "better".

For a start, read this: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ome-sound.html

@graphiteghost , I was concerned about the figures and did some research on it awhile ago and emailed a few suppliers encluding rob from needs wings and he told me those figure from 5-10 hp with the mangaflow and have read other things I know there is little if any to gain with our cars , reason why I looked into it is because I got a after market muffler on my and it seemed to feel like I lost low end torque in first and second gear but as you said most likly even some little as 1 hp guess its a marketing thing to st least advertise that amount , I haven't found any dynos stock but exsaust yet... Do you have any links?

No links, just the huge amount of posts here in the forum.

Man are they stretching or what? This Borla description (Borla Exhaust System, Borla Cat-Back Exhaust& ) says uo to 15%HP gains I seriousely doubt 2 HP gain. Here in the description ( Doing so can increase your engine's overall horsepower by as much as 15%. ) they state the crazy figure. Buyer beware!

Well, you may want to define "better". Better as in performance? Handling? Sound?

Well, since you can't even get Borla for the 2008 then the Magnaflow seems the best! ha ha....

I'm an OBX fan : ( Chinese Borla knockoff )
lowest price ( $300 - $340 - search the web )
excellent quality ( mine's been on a year and still looks new )
great sound
DIY easy installation

I have to drop two cents too . I love my pipes from Rob with NeedsWings, and I of course had to have the electric cut outs as well, so I can be obnoxious when I go to the track. but with the cut outs closed, she has a meatier sound without being loud, and doesnt drone or drive me crazy, still polite to drive

I'm having a local exhaust shop build mine and I will be running a Megan Racing M-RS muffler. I really like the look of the muffler and it usually saves you a few bills going the custom route if you're willing to have your car be in the shop for a day or two.
