disappointed
I bought the magnaflow exhaust for my 2.2 auto, and just went to the track to see what my new time would be. The slip on the right is with just my intake on, and the slip on the left is with the intake and exhaust. I was disappointed with the time I got. I think I should have gotten a more significant decrease in time. I am #1864

it's not going to lower your time significantly at all... you're et is higher, not sure if it has anything to do with it, but your reaction time the 2nd time was much slower...

Actually if you just got the muffler you wont see too much more than that. And i am surprised that you even saw that much.
I have a cat back with a magnaflow muffler and i did not notice a whole lot of gainon mine.
Which one did you get and do you have any pics just curious

Your .003 improvement has to do with your 3 horsepower increase! Intakes and exhaust systems make very little difference in a car that doesn't make much power to begin with! ****, it doesn't do a great deal for a car that does make good power. Save your money and buy a turbo if you want to go faster!

with more practice im sure you can see better times. a friend of mine has a 2005 auto 2.2 coupe with just a weapon r intake and he has done 16.3 second passes and probably couldve done better. could be the temp changes too, go back when its a little colder out

Your 60fter suck. (I can't talk but I have a reason, wheel hop owns!)
You will see better times if you can cut those 60'fters.
Parts don't make the car better, drivers do. Parts can only go so far.

Your 60' was also better on your 1st time out. If you got the same on your 2nd time it would have been a little better. What kind of improvement were you expecting?

My 1/4 times with my 2.4L auto were all around the same exact time.... even with different "launches".

I keep it in first off the line so that the t/c is off. If i keep it on you know the engine bogs and ill deff loose a lot of time. But then i move it into drive. I do launch at about 2500. I get a little spin but not a ridiculous amount.
