Default Magnaflows...OH MY GOD

One word....heavenly! Got my exhaust work done this afternoon. The Magnaflow 18" universal mufflers with a Magnaflow x-pipe. One word - DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! Sounds so nice! Extrememly quiet at idle, almost like stock...but hit the throttle and feel the exhaust...isn't too loud and definitely not raspy. Just right, IMO! Pics and a vid to come very shortly!

Info on mufflers:

PRICE:
$128.42
PART #:
11265
DESCRIPTION:
Offset/Offset
2.25" Inlet/Outlet
18" Body Length, 24" Overall Length.

Info on X-Pipe:

PRICE:
$207.87
PART #:
10790
DESCRIPTION:
Tru-X Pipe
2.25" Inlet I.D.,
Dual Inlet/Dual Outlet,
2.5" x 4" Center Core,
12" Length
Stamped Stainless Steel



PerformancePeddler.com does not list the X-Pipe on their site...I had to call them to order it. In fact, I was told the X-pipe they do list has been discontinued.

I plan on having 2.25" crush-bent piping from the two cats into this X-pipe, out (as straight as possible) to the mufflers which will be house in the same location as the factory mufflers, exiting through the facory tips. If I can find some decent-looking tips for $15/ea or less, I may buy them instead.
XxSC400xX it does feel a bit quicker...I don't know if I'd go as far as to say 20hp like others have claimed...maybe 10hp/tq

Here's the first vid: http://media.putfile.com/Driveway-59
* There's a sharp rattle around 3,000rpm from one of the factory heatshields...don't worry about that.

Second: http://media.putfile.com/Revving-26
* I currently don't have any tips

Third: http://media.putfile.com/Revving-67

Fourth: http://media.putfile.com/takeoff-81-57

Fifth: http://media.putfile.com/incar-64

No resonators, just the two front/main cats. It drones a tiny bit at highway speeds, but not enough to cause a headache or anything.

I did Magnaflow Cats, X-pipe, Resonators, and mufflers. No drone at all quiet at idle but its a demon when you stand on it. Reminds me of a V12 sound, Its great!
