So I finally got rid of that junk Flowmaster 50 series and got the new Magnaflow 11385 Installed. Here's some pics and a quick vid, let me know what you guys think. The exhaust guy only charged me $100 to swap out the muffler and add the new pipe and tip, needless to say I'm really stoked. BTW after watching the vid I noticed the leak in the right pipe and will remedy it next week.

Now that sounds nice non of that popping.



I think I will end up doing this dual exhaust thing as soon as I get a chance. I just threw on this magnaflow exhaust tip because I didn't like the dinky factory pipe coming out the back. But Dual is the way to go love the tips, this is just a vid how do you really feel about the sound ?

Magnaflow vs. Flowmaster?

Damn dude, that sounds great. Do you like the Magnaflow over the Flowmaster? I'm gonna try to get some pics and a video up today, hopefully.

Sounds and looks really good. Thats pretty much the same setup on mine. I really wish I had a better camera to get a good video.

I love the sound, I definately would recommend Magnaflow over flowmaster.

Thanks guys for all the compliments, it's a big improvement and one more thing to cross off the list that seems to be growing faster then it's receding. As far as comparing the Flowmaster 50 series and my current Magnaflow, the Magnaflow blows the 50 away. The difference in manufacturing quality is unbelievable. The Magnaflow is all stainless steel, has a lower profile, and produces better sound. I've seen video on the Flowmaster 40 series mufflers (4 chamber) and they sound a beefier then the 50's. I'd still choose the Magnaflow due to construction quality alone.

Thanks guys. It's a little louder inside but I'm not sick of it yet. I'll hopefully be Dynamatting the floor in a couple of weeks which should help a lot.

How is this system holding up today? Thinking about getting something similar to this done later this week.
