imho.. magnaflow > all others

here is a clip of mine.. this has headers and intake, but its still deep, try getting that with an HKS or Megan.

now its not the magnaflow cat back itself, but it is hte same muffler

I like the magnaflow cat-back. It has a nice tone, that isn't really loud.

Only problem is the rattling caused by the U-bolt exhaust clamps that the exhaust comes with. I recently got different exhaust clamps that are really thin, just need to get around to installing them. Another option is bending or removing the heat shield.

It does remove the resonator and is more "free flowing" but all the magazine reviews I've seen only show very small gains in performance.

hmm..... I think D-sport mag dynoed this for not even a 2WHP gain. But for if youre able to get it for $300 for a full catback, that isnt too bad.

If you read a few posts up I mentioned exhaust clamps since you have to make a cut 3" behind the catalytic converter, which would mean that the piping is clamped together, no welding. You can get it welded if you like.
