Wondering about an exhaust?

I was wondering if any one on here had the magnaflow cat back exhaust? How does it sound ricey or just nice? Also is it worth the money or should i go for another one? And is it of nice quality?(im guessing it is it is magnaflow after all)
I cant think of anything else at the moment but if any one has any other input that would be great thanks.

I did search and i couldnt find much. And i dont feel like going through a bunch of pages of crap to find one that will help me. When people can just post up some info and that will be quicker. If people didnt just post "search" all the time these kind of threads would get answered quickly and then be done with its not that hard when you think about. I dont want to start a big flame war i was just wondering about an exhaust for my car. Thats all nothing more nothing less.

well i just typed in magnaflow in the search section and got like 8 million answers to your question so try again, they said it sounds good, not too loud and ricey, but not too soft, just right

i wouldnt buy a mangaflow if i were you. it sounds fine, the only problem is it'll scrape on pretty much any speed bump even without a drop. id go for hks, greddy, apexi, etc.

Umm i went to those sites and i couldnt find anything for my car. I think thats becasue i forgot to mention that my car is an 05 DX sorry about that. But there is exhaust on those sites for my car i couldnt find them. I have been reading reviews about the magnaflow and i havnt heard any one saying that it drags. Also im not putting it on my self i dont know if other people did and thats why its drapping becuase something might have happened during the install but a muffler shop is putting on mine so they should be able to get it right.

just spend the $ and get rsr from truehonda.com. its worth it because this is the best exhaust. magnaflow and others look cheap and its just a huge can.

oh um get a thermal then. the magnaflow isn't the greatest. or just leave it stock. you're mostly getting it for looks and sound so pick something you like.

then get it. all i've heard is the exhaust sits kinda low and scrapes. also it tends to rock back and forth a little when driving but a shop should be able to fix the hangers so its more secure.

there is no "best exhaust" for civics. it depends what you want in an exhaust.

Never liked magnaflow, you also use clamps to connect b pipe to because midpipe is 2 pieces.

I would go with RSR as well.

if your going for looks, go HKS axle back. if you want something to make it A LITTLE PEPPIER, go greddy.... i got it and love it...and plus, it doesnt scrap at all even dropped
