Magnaflow goes ....

Magnaflow goes on Saturday. I'm pretty pumped about it should sound much better at WOT and still remain quiet at cruise. I may have to gut the cat while I'm at it

I've heard both ways some people love their sound some hate it. The way I see it its the whole system for CHEAP so if it sounds bad I'll switch mufflers but I think I'll like judging from what I've read and heard from them.

Your's has that poppy/raspy sound to it because you have NO cats right now. It may still not sound as good as you'd like with some, but at least it won't have that awful tone your talking about.

While I know this is "subjective," you'd be surprised at how many cat-backs sound like trash after people pull off the cats...

I'd recommend you either put them back on(and change systems) or go with a true dual set-up(which actually sounds GOOD without catylitic converters).
