what would you do if...

i was wondering what to do, because i bought and installed resonated test pipes and they sounded great with my stock exhaust. i then bought magnaflow and it sounds like a damn civic, cant stand it. the system uses the stock y-pipe and i was wondering do i replace it and see how that is or do i get rid of the test pipes for some HFC's?

What to do....?

Apparently you're stuck with the Magnaflow exhaust so your only option is
either installing your OEM cats or put out more cash for a set of HFC's.
Buying an aftermarket Y-Pipe would only increase the sound you hate,
if it made any difference at all....

Why not just go back to the set up that sounded so good and sell the magna flows? arent magna flows mainly for american muscle (V8)?
