Default Re: Finally our Exhaust is done!

Thank you for the info, I really do appreciate it, and I am sure I am not the only one.

8-10 HP for this system on an NA is an amazing gain, great job.

As I said, I was never intending to be disrespectful, more of a devil's advocate. I can not wait to see/hear this system on someone's XF in person. But I will say (I am sure anyone behind me at the Dragon will agree ) the magnoflow sounds great....

You will see a 8-10 HP increase on a bone stock NA. Not huge numbers, but the exhaust is made to allow for growth and a true dual design.

A dual exhaust sounds much different then a single. The dual system will flow double of what the stock one does (dual 2.25" pipes).

If we eliminated the resonators, went with no name mufflers, mild steel, and no V-bands this could be an easy 550.00 exhaust. At that point though you are putting subpar products on a beautiful above par vehicle. The parts alone for our system run about 600.00, SS ain't cheap!
