my GS430 magnaflow video
Just recorded a quick walk around of my car and a little reving with my Magnaflow 14829's on..
all i have done performance wise is K&N drop in filter, and 14829's just axle back, rest of the exhaust is stock, i'm thinking about getting a x pipe or removing resonators because it's still barely audible in the car, but i'm afraid to make it so loud it loses that luxury feeling in the cabin..

BTW i'd also like to note that most muffler shops will probably tell you these won't fit, to tell you the truth when you first hold them up they dont look like they will fit right because they are not offset like the factory mufflers, but once you remove the stock mufflers it's obvious there is plenty of room for these to fit.. just saying this cause i know alot of people on here have been told they don't fit by muffler shops, and both shops i went to initially said the same thing until they removed the stock ones.

Sounds good. I have the same set up
Go to the magnaflow site & listen to other V8's.. Your car is not too far off in sound. The sound does improve a bit with age. I've had mine for 4+ years and would not change a thing.

no in car yet i'll get some, it's barely louder then stock under normal driving and i mean barely.. sounds really good under WOT though. 110% NO droning sound!
i'll take some pics and a little more video, i think they look great on the car, very stock looking..
I think the car could have sounded like this from the factory and nobody would have been mad, no highway drone and inside noise levels did not change much at all, it's just loud enough to let you know have a v8
i'll update with more media probably tonight.
I boubht them from a ebay seller named "PerformancePeddler" they had one of those "Make an offer" auctions up, they wanted 143 each, i offered 110 and x2 quanity. They accepted that so i got both for $220 shipped, cheaper then anyplace i've seen so far.
went to Midas to see what they'd charge to install them, they wanted like 100 dollars each side or something, i know a local place that does good work much cheaper so i headed there instead and paid like 50 or 60 bucks total to have them done.

yeah i had the same fears! that's why i just did the mufflers, sometimes video's kinda suck cause it's hard to tell how loud it really is in person, but in the care it's barely louder then stock, it doesnt sound like i have aftermarket exhaust at all in car, WOT it sounds great you can hear it in the car but not loud at all.
