Well guys I received my Magnaflow exhaust from Pierce Motorsports today. I am very critical when it comes to aftermarket parts fitment and quality wise so I hope this helps some of you to make your choice on purchasing this system or not. Ill start with coming out of the box the quality is beautiful as are most Magnaflow products. One thing I find kind of dumb is giving the 2 different pipes for either stock tip or their tip. I think it would be smarter for them to just sell it with either or since I know the one for use with stock tips will sit in my shed till I sell the system or the car. The stock system is off in 5 minutes flat with only having to remove 4 nuts and a few hangars. The hardest part I encountered was removing the stock exhaust tips and shield. This would probably be easier with someone with smaller hands. Once all the factory parts are off the magnaflow was on in about 8 minutes again very simple. I know some have had issues but I had the magnaflow tips perfectly centered in the valance with no issue. Now moving on to what you all want to hear, my impression of the sound. Its kind of quiet, mind you I only have 5 miles on it and it needs time to properly break in. It is very clean very smooth. Perfect for someone who wants a daily driver exhaust system that flows nicely. It does have a nice note at higher rpms while still being crisp. Ill hopefully have more info in a few days once it has a few more miles on it. The only downfall I can report is the system appears to hang very low. I don't reccomend it for anybody much lower than NGM springs since thats what I have and I think ill scrape it without to much effort.

Im sorry its dark right now but ill get pics and videos hopefully tomorrow.

Anxiously waiting to hear some more sound clips.

Can't wait to meet with Jim at Pierce Motorsports and have mine installed. Just waiting for the FMIC from Turbosocks so we can do it all at the same time

even the axle back I have from GT800 is extremely quiet at idle once the car warms up that is

That right there will void my purchase on this exhaust.

Agreed...

 

[GT800]

Give me a little while guys ill put some ground clearence pics up.

 

[GT800]

The pictures arent the greatest but gives you an idea of how the muffler hangs.

 

[Turbosocks]

wow, that is pretty low

 

[GT800]

Yeah i haven't scraped it yet and ive hit all the spot i was worried about but once i get coilovers i dont think ill be going much lower if any.

 

[iration_sti]

I am personally looking to go lower than springs would offer, thanks for sharing those pictures it definitely helps in the buying decision. I can't afford to scrape the exhaust everywhere I go if I decide to go low... I will be interested to see where the solo and ark products hang.

 

[GT800]

No problem. I know pierce had mentioned it being low but i figured id show you guys.

I can vouch for the muffler being super low. I just threw my springs on and if you have to go over REALLY high speed bumps, the muffler will scrape. I just had mine get scraped really bad pulling out of my office on my way home from work. If you arent lowered, you should be fine. Im on gt-f (which isnt a very low spring) and it scraped. So be careful out there if youre lowered!

But overall, unless the speed bump is super high, like it is at my work, youll be fine. Basic speed bumps are fine to go over.

 

[GT800]

Yes i had to go over some pretty nasty speed bumps today and did not scrape at all. The exhaust is getting louder the more i drive so i figure ill post a video in a few days of drive bys.

no i mean the reason why it's getting louder, the packing in the muff/ res is burning up as per usual not that you were doing burn outs lol

 

[GT800]

Ohhhhh i thought you mistyped. Yeah the magnaflows tend to change sound pretty drastically within a few hundred miles
