Ok guys I have a question for those of you that bought the Magnaflow Cat-Back from Magnaflow or ebay for that matter. Here is my dilemma, I just got my cat back from mandrelexhaustsystems.com today and i looked at the Magnaflow muffler that came with it. well its a straight through (pics below)design. Yes I will be welding in a resonator to this system. Here is the question; When you guys got your cat back from magnaflow, was it a straight through design or did it have baffles inside to restrict the sound more??? I am just curious because I dont want anything that is going to be stupid loud, or sound like a bee trapped in a pop can while going down the road. Thank you for your time.



^^see the carpet on the OTHER side of the muffler....

i have a magnaflow on my ss and love it quite at highway speeds and just crusin around. but when i get on it trust me you can here me coming to rip your doors off! lol

 

lol that is what i am hoping for but i wasnt sure if the muffler that came with my cat back was the same design as the Magnaflow cat backs from Magnaflow themselves. Thank you for the response

bump for anyone else...

 

same exhaust, same downpipe, same question, but with a jbp vortex header?

 

I would like to know the same thing too because I thought about buying a exhaust kit from mandrelexhaustsystems.com

 

mine is an ss/sc not a 2.2 btw

 

Magnaflow mufflers are straigth through design

heres a vid of my 140mph run you can hear my exhaust might give you some clue to what your might sound like tell me if the link wont work

 

ok...i wondered because if you buy the cat back FROM magnaflowit show the tip coming out of the center for the exit, but the entrance on the other side is offset to the right of the car. I figured it was the same as mine but i figured i would ask

whats with the cel....?

 

Here's a pic of my exhaust from mandrelexhaustsystems. I got a different muffler, and like Maven said, it is straight through as all magnaflows are. I don't have it on yet, but i will in a month or two due to weather

 

I gotta put an o2 bung in my stock LSJ downpipe and weld in a resonator that i just bought and i'll be ready to put mine on......hopefully within the next couple of weeks

 

how are MBES.com exhaust systems? i heard mixed reviews about their products. i am interested in ordering but i want quality if im paying the price.

 

Youre not paying the price, a name brand stainless exhaust is twice the price.

You cant go wrong for $330 for full stainless.

 

so far everything they shipped me is great...plus they shipped it within a week. Just gotta wait to put it on

 

i think its my intake it came on after i did the airbox mod

 

I'm probably going to be ordering this, quality looks great, just wondering about fitment...

 

thats the same exhaust i'm gonna get but i'm going to try the borla muffler instead of the magnaflow. They said the borla has a more agressive sound so i'll just add a resonator to prevent rasp.

 

Add a half inch...and you have a Steddy exhaust

 

i got my exhaust from magnaflow and it was straight through just like that... i would definatly recomend a resonator( never and i mean never go catless) they sound like junk! good luck with the install its a very nice system overall though. BTW i went catless and it was a huge mistake ( i just punched it out because it was clogged) but i am definatly wanting a catted dp.

 

^^ agreed....4 bangers sound like **** with no cat...

 

pretty sure this system is aluminized not stainless. Correct me if i'm wrong

 

its 255 for aluminized.....330 for stainless like maven said

 

My catless system sounds pretty nice actually, but that's with a stock lsj catback. With a 2.5" it probably would.

 

my bad

 

somebody told me their exhaust is poorly manufactured and the hangers didnt even match to OEM. let me know when you install it.
