Well im planning to order my exhaust soon and i wanted to go magnaflow. The thing is i was thinking of getting MMW header as well and the s-pipe is 2.5". When i was lookin at info on the magnaflow it says 2.25/2.5", so im confused will it fit or not? and has anyone seen a better price for it then this site? http://www.magnaflowplanet.com/produ...uctid=6445?tw1 its 436.05 shipped. Thanks in advance

 

I went with a Strup Header. Good quality and saved money. Not to mention bolted on like it was OEM. Heres the link:

Ye i kinda wanted to go with MMW but that didnt really help me answer my question...?

 

If you want to pay more. Go ahead.

 

mmw header is a good choice. is the magnaflow a catback or axleback?

 

Catback but im lost about fitment

 

I could be wrong but the "2.25" is the pipe size and the "2.5" is the tip size, I think i read a similer post on this. If im wrong pleas someone correct me

 

The Magnaflow catback is 2.25" except for the section which clamps onto the stock midpipe, behind the cat, which is actually 60mm (~2.36"). For that section they have to use a 2.5" clamp, and thus the confusion. Here's the install sheet:

What you should keep in mind is that a header greatly increases the overall noise (+ rasp) of any exhaust system, even the stock. All the aftermarket exhausts are louder than stock, so you will probably need to have a resonator added to the midpipe to reduce the noise/rasp to a bearable level. But first you should check the exhaust clip thread and other posts with your setup to see if MMW header + Magnaflow catback sound is something you can live with.

If it turns out to be louder than you want, and you still want the header, then you will need a resonator, so it wouldn't make sense to buy this exhaust and have to cut up your shiny new midpipe. Better to just buy an axleback and have your stock resonator cut out and replaced.

 

great info, nice work
