OK, this is about the Magnaflow street series cat-back I just finished installing about an hour ago. model 16887 I think is it.
Well first off I can sat that its a really easy bolt on it just sucks crawling under the car on ramps, wish i had a lift. no adj was needed it went right together and looks factory, which its clean if you like rolled tips... I dont, but whatever.
Sound. people are right this exhaust makes the car sound like it should have from the factory. its got a deep low tone with little grumbles on down shifts, but its very low key. coasting its silent, and idle is real quiet. Yet at highway speeds the drone when DOD kicks in is enough to be annoying.
performance.. I have no clue either need to the track or the dyno but i would say the 11hp magnaflow claims is optiimistic. however I can report my car lost about 20 pounds!
overall I give it a 5/10. why? well Im not exactly sure who this exhaust is for. It is a $900 retail cat back, and its suppose to be a quieter exhaust for those that just want a mellow system..
I get that but it still has drone when the dod is engaged so magnaflow, you failed IMHO.
I did not however pay retail for this system i picked it up second hand but if I would have I would be highly disappointed in it for that kind of money. The only thing I can say is I hope it sounds better with LT's, at which at this point Im considering running the DT tri-Y's without cats to this system just to see if it picks up the level some more with no cats. I will be shutting my DOD back off with this system.. hope that helps someone.
