Ok, so I hit up the junkyards today and came up pretty good. Orignally I went in looking for my drivers side high beam (current one is full of water and its all rusty) and I actually found one. The guy there gave me a pretty good sale, got the light for only $25....Anyway, after I pulled that off I started to wonder around. I found a smashed Honda Accord with a Magnaflow exhaust on it. I talked to the guy and he told me he would give it up for $30 bucks. I couldn't resist the sale so I ended up getting it.

I pulled off the muffler, here is what it looked like


I got some engine degreaser and went down to one of those self car washes. I used the pressure washer to get all the gunk off. Here is what it looked like after the wash and after I polished it with some never dull.




Currently I have a canister style exhaust made by "neutron". This exhuast is EXTREMLEY loud. I have been pulled over numerous times for it which is why I am considering swapping it out. The only delima I have is if I don't like the sound of the Magnaflow I am going to put my old exhaust back on. So rather than spend the money to swap back and forth I wanted to see if anyone could give me an idea of how it will sound. And if anyone has a similar Magnaflow (I have no idea what model this is) that could either post a vid or audio or just give me an idea of the sound that would be great.

i have the same one on my car.at idle its pretty quiet, although i do have a resonator too. but it does sound pretty damn good. magnaflow calls it a street series muffler where as their race series is more "open" flow.

to get an idea of what it sounds like, watch this, presure2 (the white celi) has the race series in this vid.

Magnaflow muffler and resonator through a full custom 3" exhaust. Kinda hard to capture on video how truly good it sounds.

Magnaflows sound great. I love mine.
Its a very raspy growl sound.

Thanks for the replies guys, I went ahead and put it on. Mine sounds pretty close to how Lagos' sounds but mine is a little more raspy. I for sure noticed a difference, car seems to take off quicker now. This one's probably got more back pressure then the one I had but I do like the magnaflow better. I'll see if I can take a vid tonight and post it up, thanks again for the replies.
