Hey everyone, just writing to tell u all that i am now getting ready to install a magnaflow full exhaust system. hopefully this will give my blue mach a little more kick. B)

Hey, let me know how it sounds. Some days I'm convinced I like it stock, others I wish it had a bit more oomph.

ionchild

Full exhaust meaning X or H pipe and cat-back or just cat-back? I was going to ask if anyone knew how Magnaflow sounded. Let me know.

I had Magnaflows installed a few weeks back. It was the mufflers only because I still wanted the tail pipes to look stock.

I like the sound a lot and I have been told it will get better with time. I am glad they are not like the Flowmasters I have heard.

I like them

I used to have Flowmasters on my 89 5.0 and I loved the way it sounded. Whats the difference in sound between those and the Magnaflows?

puckett69

Which would give you more HP and TQ? Flowmasters or Magnaflow?
I have 40 series Flowmasters on my Stang and I love the way it sounds, but if the Magnaflows would improve HP and TQ I would change them.

Magnaflows are dyno proven to flow better. Its a straight through design over the flowmasters chamber'd design. Flowmasters sound great with an O/R H-pipe... Magnaflows sound amazing with anything. I Have magnaflows on the mystic with a Mac o/r H-pipe and its mean at 7,000 rpm. its sorta obnoxious between 2-3krpm, but above 4,000 it screams.

JeffreyDJ

Explain obnoxious, please.

Scothew

ok..

say you are cruising at 50mph in 5th w/ my 4.10 gears that puts me about 1800rpm. If I put the pedal all the way to the floor it slowly starts climbing (way under my powerband). The exhaust sound between 2k - 3k rpm sounds like a old chevy truck with rusted out exhaust and half-existent glasspacks. It is just nasty. Once the car hits 3500, it starts getting better, 4,000 rpm it starts screaming.

Well I was considering Bassani but from what Ive read, Magnaflow is cheaper and makes slightly more HP. Anyone have experience with Bassani?

Scothew

i've put on a bassani X-pipe on a 96 cobra. fit and finish was great, sound was awesome.. magnaflow and bassani are pretty equal in my opinion.

This is my fav.. i had bassani x-pipe with 40" flows on my 95 cobra before it was well lets just say sent to the place above

AzzKicker

My bad, just the cats. Sorry for the misprint. I was a flowmaster fan, until i heard the magnaflows. then i was sold. i will try to let u all know how it sounds when i get them put on with in the week

ionchild....... I have full magnaflow xpipe w/ cats. I love the sound and I did feel more power. I also have the k&n air charger. Haven't had it dynoed yet so I couldn't tell you #'s. I'm assuming somewhere 410 or so. The sound is awsome. It is not the typical metalic sound. At idle you really can't tell, but when you get on it it sounds sweet. It also seems to have gotten louder over time. i just installed magnaflow system on my 91 lx and it is bery quiet compared to my 03 cobra. I know it will get louder but I hope I will be as happy as with the o3. By the way you did figure out that the green light was your taction control, right?

ionchild

HAHA...ya I did figured that out, I feel like a dope for even asking. Well your setup seems to be what I had in mind so maybe Ill give it a go. Besides, the Magnaflow is about $300 cheaper than Bassani is so Im glad to hear it sounds good. Thanks for the feedback.

Mustang Fever

I run Flow's and a MAC Pro Chamber NO cats.....and my buddy runs the Bassani X o/r and magnaflows....I think they both sound great....

Pastjcprez

OK, answer this question on my 03 GT. What would be the best exhaust?
I am looking for 40 year old sound, not 20 yr. old loud! This is on my daily driver, that is stock.(up till now, but not for long)

TrueBlueCajun

I have the Magnaflow Hi-Flow Catted X-Pipe with the Magnapacks. People do know when I'm coming or going!!!
