My new Magnaflow muffler; yet not installed.

[PETERPOOP]

Here's my new Magnaflow muffler that I will be using for my new exhaust setup. It has a 2.25" in and two 3" out dual tips. It's from their street performance line. I wanted a different look. I hope it sounds good, it should. :thumbup:

Going to install my Megan header tomorrow and next weekend drive around and get quotes for a header back exhaust (no cats) with mandrel bends.

Almost makes me wish I waited for the muffler when I was doing my exhaust! They had to order it and it would have taken two days, which was two days too long! lol

Can't wait to see it/hear it on the car. :thumbsup:

Sweet. Will most likely sound like mine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfOsST0HFNc

Going for a Euro look?

[PETERPOOP]

Do you have 2.25" exit tips or 3"? The top of the tips look the be touching the bottom of your bumper. Has it burned the paint or anything? I might have mine a little lower than yours, but since my tips are angled, I think i'll be ok.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I believe this is the one that I have: http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/shopexd.asp?zone=main&id=7970. 2.25" in and out. My tips, I think they are either 2.5 or 3 inches. hahaha. They're not touching the lip, there's a few mm of room. hahaha. But nope, no burnt paint, and not even any carbon buildup. No warping, no worries. :smile: *knocks on wood*

Maybe it's the video but it doesn't sound that deep. :iono:

Combination of both the video and the fact that it hasn't been broken in yet. hehe, I added that little bubble thing because I thought the same thing. A lot of people are surprised that the sound comes from such a small car. Someone even asked if I had an LS1 under the engine. hahahaha, yeah, I know he was exaggerating, but he just didn't imagine my car pulling up when he heard the muffler first. :laugh:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

If I have time tomorrow, I'll borrow my bro's camera again and shoot an outside and/or an inside video. Don't expect crazy runs, as my mom lives in a densely populated area, so it would be normal driving.

lol yeah, my coworker was walking down the street when I drove by and he said he thought it was an entirely different (more powerful) car by the sound until he saw me. :laugh:

LOL.

Sorry for the threadjack Peter.

[PETERPOOP]

I hate all of you guys! ;) Naw, we're the Magnaflow crew.

[1NZYaris1]

Havn't you installed it yet , shit the S/C was installed in half this time:laugh:

[eTiMaGo]

yeah man come on, and no videos yet? :biggrin:

you didn't mention, you'll be center-mounting it, right? should look pretty damn good with the angled tips!

[kimona]

Yup, that will make one fine looking centre mount!

[thebarber]

thats one ugly muffler...

[PETERPOOP]

I'm not sure if I'll be center mounting it or just having it on the right of the license plate. Hmmm, decisions decisions.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

For the Euro tip/look, I like it off center to one of the sides. If the tips were straight, then center FTW! :biggrin:

I'm uploading a video of how mine sounds. I just took it earlier today. I'll post it up in a bit. I'm going to go and cut my hair. Back in a few.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Bah! My bro went into the bathroom already!!!!!!!!!!!

[PETERPOOP]

So upload it then!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

LOL. Sorry, I went to eat some steak that my mom cooked, then went to cut my hair. I also went back to Sacramento (1 1/2 hours away from my mom's). But here it is. Nothing special, just showing how it'll sound daily driven.

Best listened with headphones/earbuds.

Now onto studying.

[PETERPOOP]

haha nice nice. doesn't sound bad! However, I might be running with no resonator and will have no cats. So mine will definately be louder! Eeek. I might end up putting a resonator on.

[LtNoogie]

I'm sure you heard how loud the TRD exhaust is in my video. Obnoxious.

[PETERPOOP]

lol yes. I tell people the TRD exhaust is one of the loudest, but they all deny it. Atleast you admit it!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

That's going to be ear deafening without the cats. And it will not sound anywhere near like mine. The resonator should help if you don't have cats. lol.

I had Flowmasters on my GTI, custom 2.25" from the cat-back w/o any resonators. I could hear it loud and clear from 2-3 blocks away. :laugh: Don't really know how that's going to help you decide tho.

[PETERPOOP]

I'm going with a resonator. I went to a local tuner/exhaust shop today and they gave me a quote. Hopefully will be getting it done this Wednesday, or Saturday.

What's the estimation?

[PETERPOOP]

For all mandrel bends, aluminzed piping, two bungs, resonator, and labor = somewhere between $500-600$.

Damn! Well, for that price, I'd expect it to be mandrel bends.

[PHXDEMON]

You still don't have this thing installed. Stop teasing us :bellyroll:

[PETERPOOP]

Hah. I'm sorry. This IS taking forever. Lame!
