Default Cost of Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust System for 1GS

How much is the Cat Back Exhaust system from Magnaflow for the 1GS? I've looked and looked but the price is no where to be found on the internet.

Default Magna Flow

Do they actually make a kit for the 147?

You may have to piece it together, you can go to their website and see what works for you and then off to summitracing

Well I looked at a complete kit on a website saying it was for $500-$600. But I might just custom weld my pipes and just buy the tip for it. My wife's dad has a shop with racing equipment everywhere.

Magnaflow mufflers are ~80-100 each. Figure in piping and exhaust shop labor, it would be ~$400 for the whole setup, estimated.

That would be for the cat-back exhaust system right?

When I did my magnaflow's 6 year's ago. I opted to do the muffler and double walled tips. Not a catback, just an axleback. It sounds really good and does not have an annoying droning sound which was annoying on my friends sc300.

I just did the twin cans behind the axle as well. I'll be 40 next year and I hate noise. Damn those kids! It is quiet inside the car, but it sounds pleasant outside. It's not buzzy or droney. I had a hookup at Magnaflow back when I bought the mufflers 6 years ago (also), but he has moved on to bigger and better things.

Thats exactly what I want, I pleasant sound but both inside and outside since my son likes it and falls asleep to buzzy noise as long as it doesn't wake the whole block up.

I just walked into a local muffler shop and choose the muffler along with tips. As for mufflers, they have oval and flat can type which is the same shape as stock. I highly recommend the stock shape as not having kit along with oval cannister muffler makes it look unpleasant.

Good thing my father in law is a mechanic, welder, race car drive, etc. I just need to buy pipes that fit my car and custom weld my entire exhaust system. Might be a start on the project since I did a lot of thinking and research on my plans for my 1GS.
