I dont know but if you decide to go for the magnaflow, there is a group buy going for it right now that ends the 27th of feb. If we get 30 people its going to be $279 shipped.

Well people are most likely going to tell you to get what they got, like me . I have a Magnaflow cat back and love it! Was just what I was looking for: Inexpensive, nice and deep throughout all RPM ranges, never sounds "ricey", and never gets annoying!

Still haven't choosen between the Magna or DC's TCS. You would think the TCS has the better looks, but is it worth the extra $130 ?? And I wouldn't call the Magna ugly. Arghhh !!! If only I could throw on both. TCS on the left, Magna on the right.

magnaflow has deep exhaust sounds, and u can get your own choice of tip welded on for like 20$ at most professional muffler garages, thats what im doing

get the magna catback exhaust system with a 3.5" angle cut rolled tip

nice nice

I'm gonna get the TCS or the EVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've heard the Magnaflow, sounds all tingy and not very deep, and I've heard the TCS.... no the TCS is deep sounding

Now I'm waiting to hear the EVO...... or anything else actually!!!!!!

buy an exhaust COMPLETELY on your preference of aesthetics and sound... NO exhaust is goin to produce much on our cars. Most companies designed stuff not that great for our car, thanks to our cat its not worth the money to RandD. again DC's own dyno produced MISERABLE NUMBERS, 5 horses for their DAC, HEADER and TCS on an EX... thats absolutely HORRID for that amount of money... might as well have saved for the turbo u kno? make sure its stainless, and its got a reasonable diameter and mandrel bent, other than that, despite what all these people tell you, it really isnt going to improve too much... trust me...
