Default Magnaflow Exhaust?

Has anybody purchased a magnaflow exhaust? If so what are your thoughts about it? How does it sound, any performance gains.....etc.

My buddy has the magnaflow exhaust and he likes it. I have the Flowmaster 40 on mine. Its Louder and lower tone than his though. If you like an exhaust without a mean sound then megnaflow would be the best for you. And HP gains arent really noticable unless you add an intake, exhaust and a programmer chip all in one. Gas milage went up a little for me too but if you have a heavy foot its going to go down!

Hope this helps!!!!

I installed the 4"x18" round Magnaflow. I wanted to install on board air tank in the stock muffler location. Removed a loud Gibson duel exhaust. Wish I seen the post where another member had done it before I got the Gibson. Its not loud at all and at highway speeds doesnt drone like the Gibson did.

Plus you can get it on the cheap. Search online and you can pick it up for $60 and all Magnaflows are stainless steel. Cut off (mid body) of existing exhaust and install with clamps. Remove stock and get a elbow and a tip and your good to go. I have around $90 total invested in the whole thing plus a little of my time.

I have since welded the pipe after I decided I loved it. Performance gains , not really even with Airaid CAI and a superchips programmer. Best gains I got was going to 5.13 gears.

I'd love to see pics of your setup.

However, not all magnaflows are stainless steel. In fact, most are aluminized.

Yea, see that now, the internals are the same and both come with a lifetime warranty.

Will have to get some pics. Setup of tank or muffler?

The exhaust shop was all out of the 18" Magnaflows when I got there at the end of the week. So I ended up getting the 14" and I'm happy I did. It's louder but still not that loud.

Here's a video, you can't tell how loud it is, but it will give you an idea of the sound. Sorry I don't have a video with the engine under load.
