Here's my Magnaflow muffler

 

man that first one is terrible.

 

and they still have the fired egg effect lights...lol

 

Cyril,
I thought I read that your mangalfow experiment was a bomb (not the new lingo-where bomb now means a good thing...them damn kids these days).

What are your plans for now, just keeping it until something better comes along?

 

I'm happy with my magnaflow...i love how it sounds and the HP it added in my XFIREX About changing it...I'm saving my money for either Kleemann or Renntech Performance Package 6 which will eventually change my exhaust and muffler

With these packages...I can still catch up the future of newer sports cars since HP's are getting higher everytime a new model comes out. The Crossfire style is a classic and thanks God we only have one model for the 2004 CF with no options. ( That's what made me buy a Crossfire and not a TT or a 350Z ) and I like it that way because that's what makes the Crossfire a collectible

For the money that I'll put on it...I think it's just fair than getting an upgrade somewhere and after a few runs...your engine is dead It's the same amount of money in the long run. And that's what makes it fun...modding your car to your likes and taste.

 

Good heavens! A term going the other way across the pond! "Bomb" always meant good here, which is why we get all confused when we hear, "Rocky XXXVIII went down a bomb" and we're thinking, "eh, but it was bollox"

Cultural exchange session over.

BTW and off-topic, can someone please point me in the direction of a sarcastic emoticon? Using :-> seems a bit off in a high-tech forum like this.

Drunkiq, I wonder if Cyril used the same Magnaflow as you did? You saw a loss in power, and he saw a gain.

What gives?

 

Same muffler - It was a change in where the power is. The more you open up an exhaust the the more low end torque you will lose, but in retrospec you will gain more at the top of the curve. The loss is not much when we are talking about large displacment engines with torque to spare but in this case I was no longer pushed back in my seat so it was noticible that there was a loss in the torque on the bottom end. It was ok if you stayed at the top of your rpm scale all the time but that is not where the fun is in IMO.

Make sense. Thanks.

Maybe the Borla (someday) will be able to keep the bottom end with proper tuning and get the top end gain as well.

Lets hope.

But will that be worth $900 or so?

Hell ya!!!
