Its raspy, there should be a sound clip in the exhaust thread.

It will have a lot more rasp to it.

IMO out of all the cobalt exahust (even the GMPP) the Maganflow sounds the deepest.

yeah im quite interested too....but for the price....its pretty dam hard to choose.....i really like magnaflow...and i found one for around 250 bucks....but it doesnt have a resonator to it....and i think u need to weld too..

does a resonator supress sound? or make it deeper?! do you really need a resonator?

what are the gains on the megan?

Probably the same as any other exhaust... they just have different sounds generally.

IMHO the magnaflow sounds better, and if there are gains to be made, it would also be the one to make them.

I said IMHO for a reason. That's just my thoughts on the exhausts.

That is not a magnaflow system, it is cheap aluminized steel with a magnaflow muffler. The steel will rust.

Yes but in 1 year it will be rusty. I doubt they will do anything about it.

Maganflow will last years, much longer. I bet it would out last 5 of those knock offs... If the knock offs were stainless then it would be a whole new story...

We are just trying to save you time and money in the long run...
