How does the sound compare to the muffler from MaxiPerformance @ ?

I love the sound but I got a quote from the and it's over $500 (including shipping cost).

 

11 degrees outside today
Watching my intake temp on the Ultraguage drop during a take off
and the Magnaflow Cat-Back sounds awesome

 

I'm getting a small amount of drone with my new set up. It seems to have gotten quieter as time passes but 70-80 with cruise control on, just a little hum.

Im thinking it will get louder though when I do needs wings intake.

For the Money, I like what I did to my XFire! If i had the cash, I would have done OBX.

 

Valky, it sounds sweet. It's be nice if I can hear it at a constant speed on the highway.

 

Thanks FP
Once it is dry out again take a ride to the house and we'll take mine out for a run so you can hear it for yourself

 

Sounds like a plan Valky. Let's hope the weather gets decent soon.

 

Here is my new favorite muffler. This looks like the magna flow set up for much less. Take this to a muffler shop and save $.

I just installed the Magnaflow 16633 cat-back exhaust on my '05 NA Limited Roadster. The install was a pain in the *** with the sub-frame support that had to be removed and the rear hangers, but overall not terrible. The drone, however, is none too welcome. If I'm cruising in 6th gear and hit a slight incline and give it just a little gas, the whole damn car seems to rattle with drone. Additionally, I get some actual vibration / rattle from the rear, I'm guessing it's contact vibration from the exhaust pipe and the sub-frame support that the roadster has.

I'm in the process of searching the forum for some solutions. Looks like I'll be taking the Crossfire to a local custom exhaust shop to see what they have to say. That, and some dynamat may knock it down. Otherwise, I'm very happy with the sound and look.

Kevin, I had a shop install mine when I had my roadster. It seemed to be a pretty straight forward installation, but he did make a small modification to the hanger so it would hang just right. The drone however is still a concern of mine, and why I haven'nt installed a MF system on my coupe.

 

I'm guessing that would help with leveling the tips, and could also suck the pipe in a little so it doesn't rattle against that cross-brace. I plan to go by an exhaust shop this Friday to see if they'll go for a ride with me, listen to the drone and vibration, and see what they can do to fix it. I also shot an email to Magnaflow describing my issues in case they have some recommendation.

I had no vibration. If they can figure out the drone, please let us know.

 

I must be one of the lucky ones.....I don't notice drone
Maybe it's just me but I couldn't be happier

 

I'm just waiting to hear yours Valk. That will be a good demo.

 

Short story from the exhaust shop - nothing you can do but put a resonator in or try various other things, all of which would reduce the gains from the Magnaflow. We didn't get into discussions on removing the cats / X-pipes.

Talked to someone at a car audio shop about dynamat / some similar option - it may help with the drone, but it would take a lot of it.

No response from Magnaflow - not surprisingly.

Looks like those of us with the drone are stuck with it.

I just installed my Magnaflo....no drone issues and sounds really good. It just a tight clearance on the rear brace. I may need to have the hangers in the rear adjusted.
