I love it, not very loud, just a nice low tone, and you can feel the difference.

My suggestion is that you have it welded on both sides.... I originally just used the clamps, and the rear section started to leak, only cost me $30 to have it welded so i'd say its worth the extra money.

I REALLY LIKE MY MAGNAFLOW!!!

Great sound - not at all obnoxious. Increased interior noise considerably though.

Disregard if you already know the following:
Be advised that the "slip fit" connection at the catalytic cut off wasn't exactly a "slip fit" - extremely tight. Highly recommend welding a merged fitting or flanges. Also, use a reciprocating saw (SawzAll) at the cut off - use a hacksaw if you want to use up some vacation days and risk damaging the O2 sensor.

the true cat-back exhaust is the best out for the xB. all others trying to play catch up. the next best for the xB would be stylis's axle back
