Default Magnaflow Exhaust before and after

Made a quick vid for anyone contemplating a change in exhaust. A bit quieter than I expected but that's probably good, didn't want it to sound ricey. Product was overall pretty good quality.

I love my Magnaflow exhaust - it improved the gas mileage for one thing and it sounds great!

The one negative is that it hangs pretty low under the rear bumper and takes a beating on the rocks!

RC3 you should remove and relocate those back-up lights and route that exhaust through those holes. Would look pretty cool and
stop the smashed tips.

I have the Magnaflow Off Road Pro exhaust, which dumps before the axle. Everything is tucked up nice with nothing in harms way. It is a little louder than I like, but it does sound really good. Very deep tone, and does drone a little. Real nice setup for those like me who run coilovers and can't run a full exhaust.

I had considered that, but I figured it would rattle badly.

I like that it is up out of the way.

I have been looking at that. Been thinking just buy the muffler and turn down. What about any exhaust smell? What about running thru a lot of water, would it cause the exhaust to back up? Could you post up a sound clip?

Sounds awesome Cbra! Thanks for posting up that comparison video. You should notice the new exhaust get a tad louder after 500 miles or so as the packing material gets broken in.
