Magnapacks or Magnaflows?

  • Sponsors (?)


look @ youtube for clips, but magnapacks would be my choice....depends what ur looking for?? the full size mufflers sound similar with little sound increase imo. add an off road xpipe to the situation and sounds great. gl meng
 
I would suggest Packs, but they are loud as others have mentioned. I ran them for years on my old '01 GT and loved them. Just don't plan on having a lot of conversations.
 
I think I'm convinced on getting magnapacks instead of the flows. I don't plan on adding a mid pipe or header anytime soon ( I have a wedding to start saving up for ) probably be running just the axis backs for a years or so. Anyone know who much I should expect to pay for install?

nothing, you should install them yourself.
 
I would def go with the Magnapacks, they sound totally awesome, especially with a good tune and a C&L Racer CAI, and yeah, do the install yourself, shouldn't take no more than 45 minutes :nice:

I was abit worried that the Magnapacks would be too loud, but after having them on my car now for about 4 months, I wish they were a little louder (I have the stock mid pipe on my car, I'm sure they would be loud as heck with an off road h or x-pipe tho)


Best of luck!!
 
Got and installed them..Planet Magnaflow, holy crap are you guys fast!! I ordered it in the evening and it was on my door step 2 days later! The Magnapack do sound good but I kinda wish it was a little louder, maybe it will get louder as I drive it more?? Guess my next mod with be an x pipe.
 
I leave @ 4.30 am every day, so the Magnapacks weren't in my future, but I wish my GTB's were a little louder :notnice: all I can say is quiet - or at least "more refined" (@ least from the cockpit even w the top down)(all stock incl. the H-pipe). The stock GT's had a bit of a pop and a hollower sound, these are deeper and smoother, and don't pop @ all.....maybe due to the resonated tips? So, a catted X-pipe or the splice in one is going on the Xmas list - nice sound, but a lil disappointed in the lack of increase in volume - actually, kinda bummed.

I live in a condo complex and I leave around 4:30 to 5:30 A:M and I haven't had any complaints from running any of my exhaust set-ups and this includes magnapacks w/ a prochamber and hi-flow cats. Regarding the catted X, don't waste your money on the one that splices in. Spend the extra money and get one with hi-flow cats.
 
ok....i'll save up for it then (any brands you can recommend w/o breaking the bank)- btw, the spun metal cats are just meant for FI apps right? Yea, my garage points right @ the strata president's bedroom window - he's already mentioned that people have noticed my car leaving in the morning during a casual talk - and that was when I had the stockers on :rlaugh: well.........:nonono:
 
can I assume that the metallic cats flow better equaling more sound? and I guess equaling more dough? would the hiflow ceramics (Magnaflow) give more sound over the stockers? I've heard there's not that much difference in ceramic cats - stock vs "hiflow" in the restriction of air flow and sound? TIA
 
I am not sure the difference in sound between metallic substrate and ceramic but the metallic is supposed to flow better but not sure how much better. As far as sound, I believe both will sound nearly the same. Hi-flow cats both ceramic and metallic will be louder than the stock cats. Just to use a 1-10 scale for example, magnapacks w/stock catted H-6, magnapacks w/o/r prochamber 9, prochamber w/hi-flows 7.5
 
thx gman...........hard to pull the trigger on hiflows when my stockers are still good......we'll see @ xmas. My GTB's sound good n clean on the outside, but I'd like to hear em' more from the inside..........

I think that's just about every exhaust, sound good from the outside but you would like to hear them from the inside. I do like the sound of GTBs.
