Magnaflow Exhaust: Pics and Video clips w/sound
Just got my Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system on my Civic. (I drive a manual Si/Ex)
It's exactly what I was looking for: smooth sleek look that blends in with our car perfectly. Very clean!
The sound is not aggressive or loud but deep and throaty; it has more of a presence rather than a persistent noise. However, at high RPM it had an excellent racing sound (see clip 7).
A noticeable gain in power especially in high RPM.
Couldn't wait for the group buy but I have to commend MagnaflowGuy for the sound service, excellent advice and knowledge, and excellent product he provided me with.
I highly reccomend this modification.
...
Note: All clips were taken with the same media device.
Right click and "Save As":
MadMike's 2001 Si with the Magnaflow Exhaust System
supYO's 2001 Si with the DC Sports TCS and a DC Sports 4-1 Ceramic Header
Just click:
See full set of pics and video clips w/sound

Rep Power: 0 None taken dude. I understand that there are a lot of different preferences for the sound.
I'm very happy with my sound. Again it was exactly what I wanted.
And yes these is some increase in power. Maybe 5-8%

Rep Power: 0 Hhehe, I don't know jack crap about exaust systems, but what's with those "emitions" in the videos? Is that because it's cold, or are our cars going to do the same if we get a Magnaflow exaust?

Rep Power: 419 I'm not too impressed with the sound either. Sounds like a metallic pinging noise during some of the lower revs. Higher revs sound okay. So far I like the way the TCS sounds.

Rep Power: 0 For you guys that don't like the sound or even the ones that do, wait about a month and hopefully Madmike will post new sound clips..it sounds even better after the muffler "wears in" and if you got an intake better yet!
