I was looking at a Magnaflow exhaust on Amazon, anybody have this for there SC. Just wondering what they thought of the product and there opinion on the sound. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

From Magnaflow's site - their stainless cat back for the SC. http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/d...rtnumber=16917

To the OP.... to save yourself some cash, delete your resonators first if you are looking for a better sound. About $50-$60 at a quality muffler shop.

Doesn't deleting the resonators just make it loud? I'm trying to get kind of a deep throaty sound, if that makes sense.

That's what the resonators do, it makes it throaty. I have the resonator delete on my car with different mufflers and it sounds great. If you are looking for the sound of a mustang or camaro, you won't find it with this car.

I watched a couple of videos without the resonator, just seemed like too harsh of a sound for my taste.

I was afraid of deleting the resonators also because I didn't want a loud exhaust. I pulled the trigger and I'm happy I did. I only hear the deep throaty sound like husker741 said - up to about 2300RPM. After that I don't hear it all even with the top down. It sounds really good when you accelerate from a stop.

I first went with the muffler delete and replaced it with a pair of universal borla mufflers and less than a week later, I took off the resonators and I've been pretty happy ever since. The loudest it gets is at 1500rpm and after that it sounds pretty smooth.

Countdamon

What about a combination of both, if I deleted the resonators and then added a custom exhaust, would that smooth out the sound, but still keep that deep throaty sound?

I did a resonator delete and it's exactly what I wanted. Growl without being over board. I watched those you tube videos and the only reason it seems harsh is most of the videos are in the garage and off coarse it's gonna sound louder in there. And with the resonator delete I don't get the dreaded drone that you get with most system. Even with the top down.

By adding the custom exhaust all you are achieving is shiny mufflers under the car. And magnifying the sound of no resonator by maybe 1x. Oh and you get some nice exhaust tips .

I paid 80 to delete both resonators and ordered my own magna flow 4 inch exhaust tips for 65 shipped to the door and 15 bucks to weld them on.

Hi, after the resonators deleted, will they pass smog test ? Thanks

Yeah they will. I passed yesterday here in Texas. Resonator don't have anything to do with the sensors for emissions

taisho

Yeah, that's what I did...check youtube videos to get a general idea of how some exhausts sound. It also depends on what kind of sound you want...do you want that mustang v8 sound or a sport luxury sound?

What's your budget too?

Countdamon just chop the resonators then if you not satisfied come back and do the mufflers. You shouldn't want a hot rod sound from a car like this

Go here and check out my video of mufflers, then mufflers with a resonator delete. Hopefully that helps.
