Default To Magnaflow or not?

To Magnaflow or not to Magnaflow? That is the question.

I want to make the sound of the engine more agressive, sort of like a 350Z but I've read here bad things about Magnaflow and I saw a video and the sound is not for me.

Is the Borla ever coming out?
How about Renntech and Kleeman?
Startech?

Any ideas?

Default Do It

Honestly I got the magnaflow installed and it sounds awsome. Don't go by what u hear on the computer from the websites cause it sounds 110% better in person. It sounds really awsome just like a 350z sound. it cost me $200 installed and can really feel a little gain in hp. Now remember give it about 500 miles or so to break in before u get that true throaty sound.

Do yourself a favor and have them build a full catback with aftermarket tips rather than cutting yours up. Some oblong tips should look good.

This way you will have several choices:

1. If you don't like it you can sell the magnaflow setup and slap on your old one

2. If you like it you can sell your orginal catback and probably pay for your new one.

If you don't do it this way and you hate it then you will be trying to re-weld on the old system or looking to buy another factory catback (which is not cheap). This will cost you more money in the long run as the otherway will probably pay for itself.

It is in fact a catback system, and we're not sure about the tips yet.

We're looking into a couple of cats and headers, but that's one step ahead yet.
