Vid. of the new Magnaflow exhaust on 2.5S A/C.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOdBAC9z9Jc I took the video after a 5 minute drive so the car is warmed up. Sorry but my Kodak takes crappy vids so this is the best I can do at the moment. The exhaust is actually and axle-back not a cat back like Magnaflows site states. This means that it should fit on the 3.5 A/Cs without a problem. However, I did have an issue with fitment as I could not get the passenger side tip to allign properly. It's off by about .25 in. to the right when compared to the passenger side, and also sticks out a bit more toward the rear of the car (around an 8th of an inch, didn't measure this). I spent 2 hrs trying to get it to fit properly without any luck. As best as I can figure the passenger side tip was welded improperly and ended up a bit crooked. I'll have to call Magnaflow and see what they will do about this. As far as the sound goes it is much louder and throatier when compare to the Tanabe I had on before. I don't see the need to mess around with cutting out the resonator any more since i love the way exhaust sounds now.

Agreed.Would it be possible to get a higher quality sound clip? It looks awesome, but with the crappy audio it almost sounds like a quiet fart-can on a civic! lolYou said it's throatier than the Tanabe you had on before...by that, I'm assuming you mean that it sounds deeper?

Yes it does sound deeper than Tanabe. I posted a clip of Tanabe on Youtube so you can do a search to hear the comparison. To be fair to Tanabe when I took that clip I didn't warm up the car. When I ran the car for a few minutes it wasn't as raspy. As far as a better audio clips, unfortunately it won't happen. I only have my crappy digi. cam to take these vids. I can't find my video camera . It doesn't sound ricey to me but then again what you hear in the car is a bit different than what you hear outside. It definitely is loud inside though, to a point where it could get annoying after a while (that's with windows open).
