Question I just ordered a Magnaflow Cat-Back...

...for $270 brand new. Is that a decent deal? I was getting ready to order the Apex'i WS2 but I couldn't scrap up $400+ for that one. Anyone have/had this particular exhaust? Anyway, I've had my car for over 4 years and almost paid off, and I plan on keeping it for a while longer...So it's time for me to play...

Thanks for the input...

I think the magnaflow has kind of an N-1 style look to it, but I like the slant tip though. I was looking at CplJon's magnaflow and I think that's what sold me on it. It sits really nicely and looks good.



Plus I was checking out Magnaflow's website and the had some sound clips on there so that pretty much sold me even more. Plus, a cat-back won't make too much of a difference on performance so I might as well get the cheap stuff, right?

you got to get 2 1/25 inch piping man!

nothing better then a good idle. Vtec sounds nice too with full cat back!

regardless of HP gains.

the muffler is real nice tho...

Yeah I think that's what it comes with...2.25" piping. I'm not overly concerned with HP gains with my civic. All I'm looking to get with this exhaust is good sound and looks... (kinda Ricey, I know)...but If I notice any slight difference in performance then that will be a bonus.

brand new for $300.. i love it... get it welded. dont use the clamps... nothing's more embarrassing than your exhaust coming undone in front of the Philips Arena in dwntwn ATL...lol... after that was welded, i love the sound... deep, not raspy or loud.

Damn, I got mine new for $380 shipped. The Magnaflow was the best option for me having a LX, since it fits all models. Mines closing in on 2 years old and still perfect, no rust or anything, just some discoloration right after the exhaust manifold. I love it, nice deep tone between 1500-1800RPM.


Oh yea, your gonna have to be careful about certain bumps. There's one in my apartment from trucks and stuff pushing it up, and I can scrape it with the exhaust but this is why, it sticks down cause of the size, lol.

Thanks RicoFig.

The Magnaflow (depending on your speakers) sounds like it does in real life. Personally I'm prolly getting Apexi N1 on my next car but for the vic I wanted it nice, deep and quiet since I drive it an hour and a half to school.

Where did you get your magnaflow for so cheap, everywhere i see it for sale its around $410. The cheapest was like $380 one time but from some place that was kind of suspicious. Could you please let me know where you got it that cheap for!
