UPS man treated me today. I ordered this Magnaflow off eBay from Performance-Peddler with a best offer of $68.00 with Free Shipping on Monday. I got it today. One of them "Holy, Moly, Woly" fast shipping experiences. Anyways, I got some pics and I will update this thread once it goes on with my new cat-back exhaust next week. I'll get some clips too.

It's a 2.5" in, 2.25" dual out. I'll be running a 2.5" pipe into and out of the high-flow cat and 2.5" into the muffler with 2.25" out. I have researched and been told that thanks to the high-flow cat, the backpressure will be fine for 2.5" pipe.

I think it will sound very deep for 2 reasons:
1) The 2.5" pipe for about 1/3 of setup.
2) The high-flow cat.

One of them female doctor shots for a muffler ...

I have the tailpipes on now. It is quiter than the video now, but better tone. I'll get one from the outside today.


Warm Start. Its sooo deep.


My brother driving it...it sounds louder on film than what it really is. It is deeper and mellower in person. I've had it for about 5 days so the packing hasn't quite set in like Elton's has. According to him, when it does set in, it gets deeper!!!

Thanks for being patient. If their is a specific picture you would like me to take or a video you would like me to maje, don't hesitate to ask...

 

be sure to take before and after vids if you can, thanks

 

Ok. I'm straight piped right now though.

 

don't be disappointed when u first install it and its super quiet i no mine was and i was like mmm awesome but after a few months it broke in and just sounded awesome i love the sound of it

 

Looks all nice and shiny, but I'm sure it won't be like that for long haha.

 

Good choice in muffler.

 

ooooo SHINY, i like shiny, i think im going with a flowmaster 40 offroad cuz its diamond plate and cool

 

I couldn't bring myself to pay extra for the shiny crap when noone is gonna see it. I think it looks great in the satin finish.

 

Dude you're an indecisive one aren't you.

Hey you know what, Im sorta bored of the sound of my truck.... I never thought Id say that, cause I don't really care all that much, but, I may be transferring over to magnaflow as well, just for fun eh?

Post clips brah

 

Got my catalytic converter today. Magnaflow CarSound. 2.5"in/2.5"out. I'm installing it tomorrow and I'll post pics and clips.

 

Well, I made a 4 minute clip, but I'm having trouble uploading it.

Anyways, I'm getting my tailpipes on today, as of now I have two 10" 2.25" pipes out back. Will it sound ricier with tailpipes or will it not affect the tone at all? I'm hoping my backpressure will be okay. I've gained HP in the upper end, I can definately feel it.

The tone is incredible! Super deep...very throaty. You can't make a V6 sound like a V8, but it's close! It is deeper than the Vortex from 3K and higher on the tach. The Vortex is particially chambered anf free-flow. You get a more agressive gargle sound with the Vortex, but a much smoother sound with the Magnaflow. I like it better than the Vortex.

I'll try to get that clip uploaded. Anybody know anywhere else to upload it besides Youtube or Photobucket?

 

Hey man, if its 4 minutes, its probably a large file.

If you have gmail, or your email service will allow you, you can email it to me, and i can upload it to my web-server. It will be in full quality.

I'll PM u with my email addy if you're interested.

 

bump for clip in post 1

 

Nice! It kinda sounds like the 14" Magnaflow on my 3.0 but a bit quieter

 

Very nice...i too have an 18"er, hehe. 2.25" in and 2.25" out, single in and out. I love how it sounds but not as deep as yours. For some reason it doesnt sound as good in the cab since i sold my lid today.

 

I thought I was watching a commercial.....cool video bro!!!

 

Keep in mind I have the high-flow Magnaflow Cat, and 2.5" piping for 1/3 of the setup. Plus, this video was with no tailpipes. However, the depth is the same just not as loud.

 

Well, i had a magnaflow on my old 92 years back, and it was off in months. The novelty of always hearing the exhaust just made me go nuts. Personally I do not like the magnaflow sound. Though yours sounds more muffled, they have that annoying fartiness sound to it. But whatever floats yer boat. Is it stainless?

 

Yea, but its not the polished stainless.
