Default Magnaflow Exhaust Opinions

Just made a little video of my exhaust setup. Its Magnaflow catback with custon 2.5" o/r x pipe. Let me know what you think.

I do not think it sounds that bad at all. I think that normally X pipes and Magnaflows do not go together... lol Your car sounded good though. I have true duals with Magnaflows right now and I have been contemplating adding an H or X pipe or switching up the mufflers themselves. I am not sure yet. Your X pipe kind of makes me want to get some LT's and go for the X. lol Nice car btw.

depends what you want an X will be louder but sound iffy at high revs
an H will be quiter but soudns good at low revs and mid revs.

^ I know what the difference is.

Also, if you read his signature it says that he is using FR500 rims and I would guess that they are at least 10 or 10.5 in the rear with a nice set of meaty tires. The stance does look amazing from behind.

@tazmatic
If i researched right, the noise usually attributes to either no cats, and/or larger exhaust tips. I got a h-pipe set up w/cats and 2.5 tips...regretted the 2.5 tip because it's not as loud as I wanted it to be, but it still growls because I had it cut at an angle. Will replace it with at least a 3.5 tip when I save up/lower the car

@OP
Very nice! 3-3.5 tips I assume?

I have no cats, and its a custom 2.5" X pipe, and 3.5" polished tips. On top of that just a regular Magnaflow cat-back. It is pretty loud, and at WOT I can set off car alarms lol.

The wheels FR500s in Black, and I'm running 245/40/18 Cooper Zeon 2XS tires all around, soon to be 275 in the rear
