Exhaust now and then................!

Yes, Magnaflow makes a great exhaust system if your not going Forced
Induction or Stillen make a true-dual system in 2 1/2" pipe that can be
used in either way! To listen what your G would sound like go to
www.magnaflow.com or www.utube.com for almost everyones systems.
Good Luck....I'm on my third system!

He makes these remarks in every post he replies too, it's his MO. Whatever.


BOT...I've heard 2.5 is about max you want to go if staying NA. Anything larger in dia, you loose to much backpressure and will loose hp and tq.
If going FI, think 2.5 is mininum dia. and usually runs larger dia. Depends on FI set-up, boost and liters of powerplant.

your na idiot, magna flow is great they make great exhaust and can make it cheaper, because they are so big, i bet you didnt know but the borla exhaust s made in the same factory a magna flow.

all exhaust is metal polished tubbing, why whould anyone pay 1500- 2000 for the hks if they are not running turbos, and dont need baffling that the hks gives, you again,just so you know the hks was desgned for cars that are forced induction. DONT TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU DONT KNOW!

The part of this statement that states Magnaflow and Borla being made in the same factory is TOTALLY FALSE.

Magnaflow is in NO WAY related to or affiliated with Borla.

being a big company does not = quality performance parts. I can't stress this enough. You definitely get what you pay for (to an extent). If you do some searching you won't be spending 1500-2k on an HKS system, you will be spending 1350 max plus shipping. Exaust isn't just metal tubing. The diameter of the pipes you need vary based on the needs of your car not even mentioning muffler design. tubing too large will sacrifice power as well as tubing too mall. Last I checked the HKS system for our car is not for F/I applications, it is for the general NA ones. I talk because I do think I know. Take your own advice cheif.


p.s. You can't call someone an idiot by stating "Your na idiot". The correct saying would be "you're an idiot". Notice I haven't resorted to name calling big guy. This only weakens your arguments.

Thanx guys, fews that answered my question. To my understanding, exhaust doesn't give much ponies on NA car (my car). So, why would I want to spend over $1k just to get the brand name and same high flow system with same performance (if you prefered). Just want something with deeper sound and ofcourse not loosing any power after.

Dear Mr Justin Sorry For Calling You And Idiot, But When You Post Commnets, Saying That Magna Low Is Crap, You Just Open A Keg Of Worms And Deserved To Get Flammed, They Make Great Exhaust. And Yes All Exhausts Are Just Metal Tubbing, And Intenl Resonaters. In Reallity If Hks, Greddy, And All These Comapines Were As Big As Magna Flow, It Would Be The Same Price As The Magna Flow.

Correct on not big hp gains for NA. You're really only paying for the sound and small hp/tq increases. The G's exhaust is a very well designed system in itself. Though, aftermarket does open it up a bit and lets the VQ breath a little better on NA appications with still keeping some backpressure that's needed.

-edit- G/L with your custom exhaust. Give us an update when your done with pictures, sound clips, etc if you can.
