Direct fit y-pipe..Magnaflow 24321?
The magna flow was pricier from what I found. Best bet is to get one used in the classifieds. One of the install threads said the extension is 4" so I am debating just having it welded in up front and hoping it is close enough.
a shop should be able to weld on a 4" extension piece.

Yea magnaflow is about $100 more but I like how it doesn't have those 2 bends by the inlet pipes. Price difference is probably due to the cat. Either way your going to love the difference it makes once you get your Megan pipe on.
I would love to hear a video with this setup. there was a older thread from last year or the year before and the member said that putting on the SC430 pipe actually lessened the sound of the exhaust which I find that hard to believe. I'm happy with mine but if this will give it a deeper tone I'm in.
If you are extending the Megan pipe, get rid of their Flex pipe, it is the type with the corrugated (ribbed) inside and every car I have ever installed those on (G35, Celica, Civic) has made a funny sound from that type of flex, I had to cut them out and use the flex with either the braid inside or the spiral-lock.

Funny you mentioned this. My buddy and i said the same thing. Same results from the Magnaflow. It smoothed out the exhaust tone a lot.

angus- which top speed cutback did you buy? I am looking at both and he tells me the mid-pipe/axle-back system with smaller tips is quieter than the "cat-back" system that has larger tips.
Good to know about the SC430 flex section. I will replace it with a proper lined flex section when we weld in the extension.
