Thumbs up

I have the Magnaflow catback on my WS6 & it's awesome. It rumbles when you get on it but is quiet at idle. Smooth muscle car sound, not just a crappy open exhaust sound; very refined. Also no rasp. It sounds mean as hell with my FLP's & ORP pipe set up.

I installed the Magnaflow exhaust about a month ago. I like the stainless steel pieces and the two 3.5 in. pipes out back. The sound is mellow with a throaty sound and doesn't produce a raspy sound. When I first installed it I didn't notice much difference at low RPMs and light engine loads. But when you get on it, it wakes up nicely.

After a few weeks the muffer will break in (metal wool inside responding to the hot exhaust gases). The system will get louder.

My SOTP meter tells me I pull harder from idle to redline.

If you are after a system that is loud when you floor it yet doesn't wake up the neighbors when you stroll off to work in the morning, Magnaflow is the one.

I have the Magnaflow and love it. Not obnoxiously loud, but definitely meaner/better/more robust than stock. I have stock cats and manifolds, so that's the only experience I have with the Magnaflow. It's nice.

Hehe, I agree On a car with stock manifolds, it will be a little deeper at idle. At WOT it sounds nice, deep, and mean. The quality and fit on mine were top notch as well. The polished muffler and tips look great too.
