[JonJon]

JBA + SLP catted X + Magnaflow = awesome!

magnaflow catted x and magnapack exhaust and it's not raspy at all, very deep down low and at WOT it SCCREEEAAAMMSS. the interior noise is minimal too. it's not until i put the top down or drive through a parking garage or underpass that i realize how loud it is. hehehe in parking garages i set off car alarms.

as we left for the track on Weds, I was last in the chain of cars (5 cars) and there was a bike behind me. The bike guy said I set off a car parked on the side of the street. All I did was regular 3k shifting.


In parking garages, just starting my car will set off alarms if it's within 10 cars. I hate those stupid alarms.

I guess since Bassani is straight-thru, it would sound good w/ an x-pipe?

I have a Magnaflow X W/ Bassani cat-back and it sounds sick. At WOT there isn't a person who won't look and say Daaaaaaaaammmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

I love my catted X as well. I don't find too many stangers unhappy with catted X's sound - it's mostly the O/R X variety that seems to bring out the boo birds. Great advice to go out to a dyno day, track - car shows and find a sound you like and talk to the owner.

 

[tewetzel]

Hmm, well, I'm definitely going w/o cats, so I guess I still dunno...

Am I looking at this right? $418 for a midpipe? Without cats even?? That's ridiculous!!

Def. the best prices, but I just realized they don't make one for l/t headers.

I like the way my o/r x sounds.

Take it to a muffler shop and have them chop it to fit.

Who gives a rats ass what it sounds like I am in it for performance.
If I get the Performance I want then sound is secondary. If it just happens to please someone elses ears that is a bonus but not a priority.
PS I like the screaming for mercy sound.

AMEN! I was about to write the exact same thing.. My MAC catted H-Pipe and cat-back exhaust gave me 10 rwhp withough any other mods and was easy as hell to install.. That's all I care about..

i sold a friend with a mach 1 on my setup last night, have prices been goin up on the magnaflows though? i don't remember paying more than $390 for the catback and like $340 or 50 for the x-pipe

Ya, I'm thinking if I'm gonna get it welded I might as well get the Dr. Gas unit (comes disassembled, made specifically for l/t headers). Much cheaper, and it has had good reviews from what I've read.

Prices have gone up alot.

Anybody seen the Dr. Gas off-road x-pipe for BBK l/t headers for <$200?
