I've currently got the Magnaflow Cat-Back on my Matrix XRS. Gotta say it sounds GREAT and it offers the highest hp/torque gain out of any other system available for the 'Trix (at least at this point in time.) Hopefully it'll be the same quality. If so, I'd probably get one for the tC once I get it.

Hmm the dyno results seem to be on par with other STOCK tC dynos that have been posted it, do you happen to have the dyno of the stock tC to compare the baseline numbers with the catback numbers?

Here are the base line dyno numbers on a stock 2005 tC Scion 5 speed

Those are basline numbers, not numbers with exhaust. At least thats what I gather from his post.

Oh, I guess reading his whole post would've been great.

In that case, I'm awaiting the relese of the catback's dyno and pending on the outcome, I may get one.

... supposed gains are +6 on HP and torque across the board; I'm sure Richard will have more info on this hopefully by tomorrow if not early next week.

It should be 2.5in. 2.25in is stock piping size.

Pics are not working. I wanna see.

endlessracingz

01-21-2005, 01:01 PM

Perhaps they kept it 2.25 to keep the low end torque. 2.5 is a huge difference, but then again I am not them and not an expert in exhaust systems.

MagnaflowTC

01-21-2005, 04:42 PM

That is true Endless. Running 2.5" diameter system would result in a huge loss in bottom end torque. Remember guys, this system is going on a tC Scion that dynoed 143hp stock. So unless the car is has an output of 300hp+ at the wheels then a 2.5" system would be pointless. Big differences between a 2.25" stock system and a Magnaflow system are we use mandrel bends which increases flow by 20%, our system weighs less, and our muffler is straight through in design. I have no clue why imagestation sucks at hosting images.

Doesnt seem like it to me. Anyone remember the Weapon-R dyno. 12.4whp and 6.1 ftlbs were gained running open header. Thats almost no backpressure at all. I looked at the dyno curves and theres no loss in low end torque or power. Actually there was gains in torque at 2000rpms over stock.

Id go with 2.5in, its the best size for this motor.

those stock dyno numbers look good. magnaflow makes a great product, so i know their system will be the best out there.

Magnaflow always has the good stuff, thats why I stock them. :D And if the cat back is available soon that means that I will have them at the Scion Central as well. :D

01-23-2005, 09:29 PM

Sin, with the 2.25" Mid-pipe w/2nd cat deletion does it throw a CEL @ any point?

The CEL does not come on when the secondary cat is removed from the exhaust system. We tested that on our own cat back system.

I have one, its in my Sig page 2......I still have the primary cat though

That doesn't look like the one magnaflow is going to sell, I want to see pics of the cat back from Magnaflow themselves.

Souljah347

01-24-2005, 01:48 AM

does the magnaflow delete the second cat or did he do that himself?

01-24-2005, 02:41 AM

I know that the majority of magnaflow products are smog legal, so I wouldn't second guess that magnaflow is going to make a catback designed to fit after the secondary. I may be wrong though, magna flow hasn't posted any pics. :(

Could you even call it a cat back if it was after the 2nd cat! To me thats just an axleback! THAT WOULD BE UBER WEAK!

I think your talking about the resonator. The 2nd cat is under the car near the firewall area.

MagnaflowTC

01-25-2005, 03:52 PM

I believe the tC has a manifold cat/pre-cat and a main cat. Magnaflow cat back systems will always comply with emmissions laws and regulation unless noted or spec'ed that way. I will post pictures of the of the system on the same week it is released, not a moment sooner. You can trust that we tested various configurations and muffler placements to find the one that yielded the best performance and sound.

01-25-2005, 08:50 PM

you can still call it a cat back after the secondary cat. Thats the whole purpose of it being called a catback. There is a main catalytic converter (Thermal Reactor) and than the secondary catalytic converter. And anything installed after is considered a cat back. :D

I know this is totally out of left field...and I'm probably jumping the gun. But will there be any plans to do a dual exhaust system if sucessful with the one your R&D'n.
http://img169.exs.cx/img169/5429/magna0tg.jpg

I'm really digg'in the company's profile and the companies reputation. So just even having a cat-back period would be a nice addition. That and my company will started stocking some of your line for trucks and SUVs.

Neway just wonder'n, will it look similiar to your current line of import exhaust systems? Will it follow similiar design qualities as the cat-back for the xB?

yea 2nd day with the DC headers...and its getting worse i can only assume its the headers breaking in but OMG this is horrible im embarrassed to drive my car...!!!!! i now notice a high-pitched crackling noise ....and..and... it sounds literally like somone is frying rice....i am NOT happy!!! MAGNAFLOW!!!! HELP!!!!PLEASE!!!!! :pray:

MagnaflowTC

03-10-2005, 06:06 PM

The exhaust system was tested on a stock vehicle. It has a deep healthy exhaust note at acceleration and nice mellow rumble at idle. To be honest we don't know how it's going to sound with headers since the tC tested didn't have one installed . It's a known fact that headers will change the overall sound and pitch of an exhaust system.
Increase flow = Increased sound

f1nch

03-11-2005, 04:55 AM

One more question if you will....the S-pipe connecting the headers to the secondary cat has been discussed with the people at Creative Compacts...they should be offering it soon..i believe that will be the only remaining bottle neck on the exhaust once all is complete...any thoughts on including this with your system?

But this was this Monday...I'm only giving them the benefit of the doubt. I was going to place an order through our corp. office. But I still would have had to wait. The order would have been placed on the "back order" list.

Honestly...I'm thinking it won't be ready until early April. :pray: But we'll see.

I actually curious what retails going to be on the system. I know the jobber...and I get it for cost and 10%. So I'm still looking pretty good. I'm gonna predict this system will probably go for a minimium of $650-700+. Not to mention the cost of installation if your not brave enough to tackle it yourself.

Just IMO.

I know that sounds like alot...but if you think about your other typical name brand mfg. like Tanabe...Greddy...Apex are selling for about the same ballpark.

I remember when I purchase my first Tanabe exhaust system..it was alittle bit over $700. But that was also when the import scene slowly started to take off.

03-14-2005, 04:53 AM

i was leaning towards magnaflow because I was hoping their price would be lower then the competition.

if you compare magnaflow to other brands on various cars their normally much cheaper.

this exhaust should be between $500-600.

Yeah I called yesterday...and for those of you waiting...keep waiting. Production is at a snails pace. According to my guy...there are so many kits under production on the assembly line...that its pushed back the release date of the tC exhaust. So it not just the tC line...but other lines too. Who knows where the kit is in production...

It could be this tomorrow...next week...next month...get the picture?

It's now the end of May, where is this product? Make's you seriously wonder what kind of company MagnaFlow is. I'm leaning the custom route now anyways... all the Dyno numbers out pretty much show there is next to no gain as of yet in the exhaust. It just about the tone you want it seems now. I know the can I wan't... MagnaFlow 7" can with 2.5" exhaust .. should give me the tone I am looking for.

I'll keep waiting for now, have wheel spacers and tint on the way.. there's next month, but might be spoiler month. =)

Does anyone here remember the "Two week" wait for the Unreal Tournament 2003 game? Same thing. "Two weeks " is a popular development timetable.

Problem is, the last 10% of development takes up 50% of the time at least.

I've waited for UT03 and a mod called Infiltration for UT99. The answers the community received for a release date was "Two weeks" and "when it's done" respectively.

Let me see... the original release date and the final release date differed some two and a half years. Be patient!

halo2 got pushed back what? 2 years? and was well worth the wait.

Well, might as well keep talking about video games in this thread... Yeah, Halo 2 was worth the wait... apparently it takes 2 years to develop maps that don't suck total ___. The level design in halo 1 was weak.

Oh, and I wont be in any hurry for an exhaust system until there is some type of forced induction available.

2.25" piping? aren't the stock tC pipes 2.25" already? I'm gonna want at least 2.5 for a catback.

kungpaosamuraiii

05-28-2005, 04:57 AM

Well I'm pretty sure the material of the pipe has a lot to do with the power. It's not just the size, but the stainless steel induces better flow and helps maintain a vortex to accelerate gases down and out.

2.25" pipes for NA applications are pretty good but you're right, 2.5 if you're gonna mod right?

Whatever the case, it's best to wait and see what system works the best.

240SXtoTC

05-28-2005, 06:56 AM

2.25 is fine unless you want to turbo (2.5-3).
i'm pretty sure that the material does not make a difference in the power - but instead from mandrel bends as opposed to crush bent.
i was going to buy this exhaust but since magnaflow is dicking around so much i'll buy a different one even if this one does ever come out.

It's an exhaust system for a N/A car. It's not a turbo kit. 6 hp is good. Magnaflow is a top notch exhaust system . I'v e had one on every car I've owned.

emiller

6 hp is a pretty good gain with a 160 hp car and only exhaust. Its not a 350 hp v8. Im guessing its 6 whp anyone know for sure?

I just want to be clear on one thing, in that muffler are there some chambers that the exhaust have to go through or is there a 180 degree turn of piping in there?

wondering if a xa or xb can bolt up to a TC??

just thought I would post here...

Chaos_Being

08-09-2005, 03:58 AM

It looks like from the diagram that this still uses the stock cat, or does it replace it? If it still uses the stock cat, does it involve welding the pipe after the cat (which I seem to remember being a prereq for other cat-backs which retain the stock cat,) or is it bolt-on?

So far I've really been liking CC's full exhaust, trying to compare this to that.

TimmyT

CC's is no comparison if you live in Cali. Carb #s are gold

Then It shouldn't be a problem. High Flow cat converter and your choice of mufflers (wich i believe magnaflow is one of them)

acasanova

08-09-2005, 05:14 AM

I couldn't hear them that well but i could hear them.

You guys may want to add an aftermarket manifold to see how it holds up as far as sound quality. It'll make you want to throw a perferated core resonator in the mid-pipe I guarantee it :wink:

Hmm good point, all this time( about a year) many TC owners have been waiting for a product that will yield decent numbers and sound. Magnaflow, you are aware that in the realm of the TC the single biggest NA power adder is the exhaust manifold, header. A header alone yields 10hp 11tq on a perfectly stock TC. For anyone wanting to stay NA or go Supercharger a header is a perfect addition. Little to no tradeoffs and great gains, so why not design an exhaust with the premise or foresight, easily attained from customer feedback! that will sound great both with the stock exhaust manifold and an aftermarket unit? Most TC owners interested in performance will tell you that a header is the best mod, so why no complement such a market? Your exhaust system looks great as always and the gains are decent. However im willing to bet that your system combined with an aftermarket header will sound terrible. Much like many exleback units out there, as well as the same gains, Injen yields about 4hp 4tq. An addition of a resonator would have probably fixed that, but i guess its too late now, guess our waiting went in vain. :(

This system is installed directly behind the catalytic converter, hence the term "Cat Back" . Magnaflow only offers 50 state legal exhaust systems which would make any manifold back systems or changing/removing the converter out of the question. Yes we are aware of the performance benefits however the majority of our customers look for a simple bolt on system that provides performance, has a nice tone and maintains legality with emissions and decibel compliance. I will try to take more pictures of the front pipes but it's kinda hard with my car not on a lift. Thank you all for the kind words and compliments!

Magnaflow, a lot of the kids that read these boards are just that, kids. They dont know the difference between car parts and are totally new to the whole scene of going faster. They couldnt tell a catback from a full exhaust if it hit them on the head.

I think its more that they're not reading than anything else. Many of the "cat-backs" out there claim to be so because they bolt-on at the first flange behind the second cat, which happens to be pretty much at the rear axle. If they had read the instructions for Magnaflow’s, they would have seen that it installs directly behind the second cat by cutting the piping a few inches in back of it, way ahead of that flange. This is also where the Magnaflow's piping is 2.5" instead of 2.25", probably so that it can fit around the stock piping. It goes back down to 2.25" the rest of the way.

I guess my question would be what if you had a headerback exhaust that had a hi-flow cat on the mid-pipe? Even though technically you are not eliminating anything, it would still not be 50 state legal?

Such an exhaust eliminates the second fully operational factory three way catalytic converter. :P It may replace it with another cat, but not the exact same, already 50 state approved, cat. By replacing the cat, they would have to go through the CARB approval process (and hope it passes). I doubt many companies want to do that for an exhaust, so, they'd rather not bother the cat at all and stay 50 state legal or just say screw CARB and eliminate the cat altogether and put on their own or leave it cat-less. To maintain the factory cat and have a completely bolt on setup, the only choice is to change the exhaust after the flange closet to the cat, which, unfortunately, is near the axle section for the tC. Alternatively, one could do what Magnaflow and CC (for their cat-back) are doing by requiring a cut be made a few inches behind the cat and the new piping slid over it. But that adds a step to the installation some may not be willing to do.

I figure a picture will speak louder then words. Without disclosing too much, the diagram below should give everyone an idea of what the system is composed of. The muffler also has an internal core of 2.5"

http://images.magnaflow.com/images/diagram.jpg
But why step down the exhaust to 2.25 in the middle. I don't get it. I don't think my turbo will like that too much :doh:

I'm with you on that one. I was about to consider it even with the steep price until I saw the pipe diameter was same as stock. Plus I read on the installation instructions that I have to make a cut by the cat.

I might as well go with TRD instead of this but thats just my opinion. The minimum I want for my pipe is 2.5 and 2.75 is preferred in case I go FI.

MagnaflowTC

08-11-2005, 04:09 PM

EXACTLY!. If you guys plan to use force induction and produce 200+ WHP then it would be beneficial to go with a full 2.5" system to take advantage of that. This system isn't for everyone but it is for the majority. The majority of our customers don't plan to use force induction so a full 2.5" system wouldn't be necessary. Check out the link below for more info. Thanks for all you're input guys.

Originally the tip rubbed against my bumper, so i had to "adjust" some stuff. and one of the clamps were rubbing against a lil metal brace in the middle of the exhaust channel. I just had to rotate the clamp to a different position or take that brace off to fix that problem. Sounds good though.

if it is different, which one should i get?
who has a pic of the two magnaflow exhaust?

SquallLHeart

01-03-2006, 12:47 AM

they are different. i believe Gabe at PrecisionMuffler makes/puts together the exhaust system himself and thus are not mandrel bent..... (unless you're crazy serious about your exhaust, mandrel bent doesn't really matter)

i would go with PrecisionMuffler's if you're looking for a good exhaust and it works really well, but the magnaflow's is also great.... hmm... well... i have nothing against either... it's up to you.

pictures of his exhaust are on his site whereas magnaflow's are on their site.. just use that thing you call a keyboard and mouse, and you'll find them.

one more question, what's the wHP gain on PrecisionMuffler's magnaflow catback?

-Keith-

01-03-2006, 01:49 PM

MagnaflowTC

01-04-2006, 03:07 PM

Heres an explanation of the term:
OFF ROAD USE ONLY = Aftermarket system that will modify or eliminate the factory emissions (catalytic) and/or produce decibel levels exceeding the legal limit of most states,
usually 95db maximum.

Magnaflow's system is in compliance of both.

The laws applying to "modified exhaust" is local city ordinance, not state wide meaning this will vary depending on the city you're located in.

01-05-2006, 09:44 AM

MagnaflowTC

01-05-2006, 02:59 PM

sux? maybe i should clarify. The Magnaflow system is LEGAL for road use. It is both in compliance with emissions and sound. I was just explaining what "Off Road Use" meant.

mwuf15

01-06-2006, 08:02 AM

i heard back from gabe from precisionmuffler.com that his magnaflow catback exhaust is not legal because it removes the second cat of the tc.

MagnaflowTC

01-23-2006, 02:47 PM

I have not heard it on a tC with header installed but on stock
you can barely hear the exhaust from inside the car however if you stand outside and have a friend rev it, you will hear it. The system is relatively quiet at lower rpms but will definately growl at acceleration, especially with an intake. If you are experiencing rasp that is a common problem when using headers.

*I'll get a rear shot of the car up this week. Be sure to check page one for the update.
thanks guys!

No rasp yet you can hear a deep growl somewhere there... its nice..i love it, and its drivable!! and yes magnaflow is pretty awesome.. when only havin header and cai i felt the gains.. but when i slapped on the magnaflow i felt more...!

So you have AW header, a CAI , and now the magnaflow catback system with resonator? I think you should get us some soundclips :) . Magnaflow is showing the most gains and no low end loss so I'm leaning toward this setup. A dyno would be nice too of your car with all those parts hehe, but I know thats a lot to ask.

thing that will decide for me in the draxas vs magnaflow competition is the dyno mostly. Unless the magnaflow sounds too ricy (which i dont think it will). I want a deep sound and more importantly a nice punch.

Same for me. Whatever full exhaust system gives me the increase in power across the band and sounds nice with a header/resonator gets my buy. In several months that is . :P

but ill take more tomorrow...

i do like the sound. Not too raspy and its got a nice deep tone to it. Draxas falls short in that there isnt much tone at all :no: Now all i want are the dyno sheets. The day i see them is the day i buy my AW headers and magnaflow exhaust. Does it come with an s-pipe? if not which should i go with? i see creative compacts s-pipe is rather popular around here.

Nakioki

02-10-2006, 04:01 PM

no no its not raspy at all.. cus of the resonator... its quietly deep.. juss the cam sucks lol... or it was too close... no there's no spipe yet. I was thinkin of the CC one...

I actually had the zpi s-pipe and catback.. dont ask me why i changed to magnaflow set up.. but one thing.. the zpi was toooooo noisy for me and toooo noisy inside too.. here's some of my old vids of zpi... (sorry magnaflow for takin this thread)

hmm let's see..

Put it this way...

magnaflow catback 350$ (new)

Awesome, though I think I'd opt for a 30" resonator. I demand you go to the dynos Nakioki :-p .

hahah... damn.. that's what everyone saying...

Dont really know how that dyno thing works... Question... Stupid one.. Do i have to like go back to my old stock parts or something? since they need to know the difference? I mean i would go dyno... but I dont think i have my stock parts...

next week okiez... I need to get paid.. kinda broke right now =(

nah everyone knows the stock dyno for a tc. Once you put your new one up, they will be able to see the difference.

Hey Guy's So how many people have the magnaflow exhaust on there Car. I have it on for 3 weeks It pops a code P0420 Catlyse threshold low And it also Poped crank senser a in two differnet codes any one with the same prob may a 02 sim can fix get back ok But all in all The system is sick

hmm.. that's weird.. I dont have such problem. I have other mods in mine and i never got those crazy things popping out cept for CEL but had it fixed thanks to antifouler... I never really heard n e one having prob with their magnaflow

No way would a magnaflow cat-back exhust throw any codes unless you installed it totally bass ackwards.

The magnaflow exhaust doesn't tamper with any of the factory emission parts. You cut the pipe 3 inches BEHIND the catalytic converter. The only way i can see any type of code being alerted is if you damaged the cat on the install.

Nakioki,
Where did you order all your parts? Looks like some nice prices.

Im also interested in some dynos...

Someone who will remain anonymous for now helped me out and i want to thank him so very much. Also I will also be getting my MMW headers in sometime next week. So with my Magnaflow catback, MMW headers, and Weapon R intake ill get a video and dyno for all to love and cherish. :)

hey l3rl4n I am not sure if u are interested in going to the track but I have a megan header and S pipe and a magnaflow catback with a stock airbox that I hacked , it would be good true testing if we both run the same track the same night to see if either setup is better then another . let me know if u are interested . maybe we can get senseiturtle out there too .

Nakioki

02-18-2006, 01:13 AM

wow that sounds like a challenge for u l3rl4n ... i wish i can be there =[

l3rl4n

02-18-2006, 07:37 AM

Yeah man im down. Sounds like it would be a fun time. Once everything comes in, im going to put it on one weekend that im not too busy. No time during the week. But yeah i would love too! We should film it to show the differences in the setup. I dont see it as a challenge, but as a comparitive review.

:)

02-18-2006, 10:21 AM

cool , no its not a challenge , I just want to see if there is a big difference between a mmw header and a megan header , everything else is pretty much the same .

does anyone know where I can get a magnaflow resonator online ?

Nakioki

02-18-2006, 04:22 PM

try their website.. i believe its posted somewhere here.. page 8 or 7 the maganflow guys posted it... or just go to ur local muffler place and ask for one

no becuase i am waitin on a spipe... CC spipe.. and its making me crazy!

l3rl4n

03-06-2006, 09:52 PM

i think ima put 2 18 inch resonators. Someone mentioned they did that and it eliminated all rasp with mmw headers!

My only drawback is wondering if that will reduce the gains from it all.

Nakioki

03-07-2006, 02:18 AM

hmm u dont need 2... only need one big one... ionno but theres already a small one n e ways... stick with one! lolz

Onikage

03-07-2006, 06:41 AM

Just stick one 30 inch resonator on there. It should be just what you're looking for.

so is it legal in california?

Nakioki

03-13-2006, 07:35 AM

so is it legal in california?

if you mean about the exhaust kit being legal yes it is. or the resonator yes it is. In fact its better! quiet down the car so cops dont pull u over for loud exhaust hehe...

just got mine on yesterday...anyone else unable to get the primary o2 sensor out? Anyways once i get a resonator on there ill show some videos.

huh what do u mean

l3rl4n

03-21-2006, 12:48 AM

i had to buy a new primary 2 sensor... 300$!!!! ZOMG i know...

i couldnt get it out. We yanked the secondary out and it stripped all the threads off of it. We barely got it into the new spipe. I couldnt even budge the o2 sensor on the headers... We used three guys to try it and nothing. Instead of just ripping it out and have to weld it into the new headers, i went and bought a new one.

Basically it sucked. Right now the car sounds like a crx tin can trying to put down the road with all the rasp. But that all will be cleaned up tomorrow when i run by the muffler shop!

Nakioki

03-21-2006, 07:12 AM

OMG... the 02 on the spipe...

Yes it was hard. But wow.. dude thats lots a money!!!
Use wd40... dude dont know what to say

03-21-2006, 07:22 AM

most o2 sensors strip...it's kind of the luck of the draw :\

Nakioki

03-21-2006, 04:37 PM

really sorry to hear that bri. especially spending that much for new 02.

l3rl4n

03-21-2006, 05:51 PM

yeah its a pain in the butt, although i didnt wanna get screwed by welding it in and not being able to take it out ever again.

Nakioki

03-21-2006, 05:56 PM

true i guesss... hey hows the car btw?

l3rl4n

03-21-2006, 07:27 PM

The car is great. I havent put it over 3k rpms yet since i havent flashed the ecu just yet. I went to the muffler shop today and the guys checked it out and i saw that the longest possible resonator would be a 24 inch. How did everyone else go about with 30 inch and two 18 inch resonators?

Nakioki

03-21-2006, 07:48 PM

that's great. THe 30inch i asked my muffler guy he said he had to make it or something to fit. ionno its weird. i sticked with 22' magnaflow resonator. still big and still made my car quiet i dont see why i need 30'

Onikage

03-21-2006, 09:18 PM

Nakioki:

Do you still have any residual rasp at the higher rpms? I think the 30 inch was a way for people to totally kill it. I think with a smaller res there still would be traces of rasp in the higher rpms.

Nakioki

03-21-2006, 11:26 PM

well yes at higher RPm... at 3k i hear deep noise and 4k or so i can hear the header over-powering the exhaust. well thats my guess... either way at normal speed or under 3k rpm its not raspy.

I have a question, if I understand this correctly a cut needs to be made on the stock s-pipe (where the second cat is) to install the magnaflow cat-back. If I want an aftermarket s-pipe how wold that work, what size (2.25 or 2.5)? Any cuts? If not, how would it fit?

TimmyT

04-02-2006, 06:36 AM

^^^
You mis understood. You cut the Mid pipe 3 inches behind the 2nd cat.

Menace

04-02-2006, 11:08 PM

But I thought the second cat was in the s-pipe? How would you install the after market s-pipe then if the midpipe need to be cut? That wouldnt that mean part of the stock midpipe would have to be retained?

TimmyT

04-03-2006, 04:02 PM

It goes Exhaust manifold > Cat >Down pipe > Cat > Mid pipe > axle flange > Muffler

Nakioki

04-03-2006, 04:25 PM

erm yeah... like he said. the second cat is pretty small. i didnt even noticed it was there. They just cut that piece and put it on the magnaflow exhaust. spipe doesnt have cat. its just a pipe shape like an S lol.

so the 2nd cat is right AFTER the spipe. where the midpipe starts...

one thing I would like to know, is all the actual piping of the magnaflow exhaust 304 series SS? Or do they use a cheaper grade for the piping. Reason I ask is because I have a magnaflow exhaust on my other car (v6 accord) that is about 2 years old, and there is noticeable surface rust on what once was shiney SS piping. The mufflers themselves are fine, and I know for sure they are a high grade stainless. But I have a bad feeling the piping is 409...... can anyone who knows chime in?
