laxdude3622 Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 Well I picked up my car today with the new piping and magnaflow mufflers, and all I gotta say is WOW! It sounds and looks amazing, and I know that the mufflers will continue to get deeper and sound better. The shop really did a great job with the installation and the mufflers fit perfect. I paid 223 for magnaflow mufflersw/tips 14829's(free shipping), and 142 for new 2.25 inch piping, removal of resonators and installation of everything, so whole new cat back set up except for new y pipe for about 365. I will hopefully have some pics and vids of it soon. :D :D :D :D
SCfour Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 awesome laxdude! i (im sure others as well) would love to see some pics and a sound clip maybe of the finished product! congrats on the new mod!
TMaxxTim Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 Sweet man, I'll have to come after school and listen to it.
laxdude3622 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 Hey for those of you who have a setup like mine, how long did it take for your magnaflows to get to it's natural tone?

laxdude3622 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 Yeah i would say so, i have new pipes from the cat. all the way back to the mufflers, and had my resonators removed
Mr. Curious Posted October 1, 2004 Posted October 1, 2004 im currently trying to figure out what exhaust shop there is around here that will remove cats. i know theres one around here, but i just to find out its name. ...stupid 3rd cat...
laxdude3622 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 Hey about how much hp do you guys think I gained, if any?
SCfour Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Hey about how much hp do you guys think I gained, if any? ← anybody have an answer for him yet? im kinda curiious myself on what to expect..latah
eXo Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 the average power increase is around 40-50hp improvement. This figure obviously varies but roughly around that range, the most I"ve seen is 60hp increase.
blueviol Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 laxdude: Where can I find what you installed on your sc? I am very much interested in taking the same steps as you did. Any pics yet? ^^
bean_8044 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 I dont think we're going to see 40-50 on the GE or the UZ. GTE is guarenteed to be that much which i will hopefully find out when i get my new front pipe and test pipe next week
jcm3 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Exact same setup and it took a month to get the tone to break in. I would say 10-15rwhp at most from the exhaust.
laxdude3622 Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 blueviol: I bought my mufflers from www.justmagnaflow.com, the mufflers are the ss street series, product number 14829. Then I just searched around for some local exhaust shops and called them and told them what I wanted and brought my car in and had them give me a quote. So I would just do that. No pics yet sry, I gotta use my friends digital camera, I don't have one.
blueviol Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 laxdude, Thanks for your information. I will visit the site. Post more info as you get the system aged.
Mr. Curious Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 the average power increase is around 40-50hp improvement. This figure obviously varies but roughly around that range, the most I"ve seen is 60hp increase. ← try a tenth of that and then youll be on the edge of the ballpark. i cant think of a SINGLE car that would see a 60hp increase from just an exhaust. the biggest gain i know of is mr gas boom tube on an ls1 fbody and that would be at best 40hp.
soarer479 Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 40-60 thats just insane most cars will gain 8-10 if they r lucky although an sc300 project car i believe i saw in either turbo or super street gained like 17 which is really good the 2jz gets alot of hp out of full exhaust and headers also
SCfour Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 yea, 40+ hp sounds kinda far fetched. but 10-15 would nice..for spending only 500 bucks or so? anyone have any info/opinions on the fujitsubo exhaust for our cars? (the 400, that is)
