Took my gt350 to MAGNAFLOW

The guys at Magnaflow contacted me about a week ago about bringing my car down so they could get a look at it and play with it for a week or so. They are interested in developing product for the GT350.

I dropped my car off this morning. Everyone there was professional and nice. I will pick up the car in on Friday and get a listen to what they have done. They have assured me that if they if I am unhappy with anything, they will adjust or remove anything I want.

While the bone stock exhaust is absolutely thrilling, I am anxious to see if the PROS at MAGNAFLOW can take it up to 11.

Of course they will! Congrats!! Looking forward to seeing and hearing what they come up when. The Maggie comps sound awesome on the S550 GT, Im sure their product for the 350 will be killer.

Yes sir, they are being totally cool about letting me keep whatever I want. If you've heard one of these things in person, it's a little strange to think it can get better, but these guys are real pros.

I should pick it up Friday Afternoon..... Will try to post a clip by Monday or Tues (busy weekend).

I'm sure this goes without saying

Keep the stock parts and store them for future value of the car whatever you may do with it in the future

I already have a special space in the Garage for take offs. But, it's always good to get good advice! Thanks

I did pick up the car on Friday, there have been a couple of little issues. I am working with them to sort things out and they seem to be anxious to make everything perfect. I really don't want to comment too much until we get it all sorted out. I'm sure the finished product will be amazing, but for now we have a couple of little things to work out.

The sound is smoother, less raspy and deeper throated. Regular driving mode and sport are less of a difference than stock, but the sound is undeniably sexy. Better or worse are highly subjective, but it is really well executed. The quality of their manufacture is flawless. Additionally they tell me I picked up 15 ponies.

It certainly is, and it sounds superb. Nice one, Eric!

I know the stock sound is pretty unique, but it is a little too raspy for me, at least when it's not under load. Your now sounds more like a traditional American V8. And, for me, that's a very GOOD thing.

I'd love to get a longer video. Need to hear it under load

When reputable companies call me us and say FREE STUFF without messing up your warranty it's not so hard to be a pioneer. Additionally I asked for their assurance that if I was unhappy they would restore it to stock....
