Exhaust and Air Filter
<FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono" size=2>I would basically like some opinions!!! I am down to buying a catback and air filter for my 2003 GT, now would I would like to know is when it comes to exhaust MAGNAFLOW orFLOWMASTER and why?.. Also I dont know what to pick between the the shieldedSTEEDA air filter or theMAC that fits nice and snug in the right fender. When it comes to the MAC air filter I can imagine it must be better cause it aint sucking in the heat generated by the engine and also stainless steel pipe looks better than the aluminum.</FONT></P>

Flowmaster = for sound</P>
Magnaflow = for HP.</P>
Check the thread I made in the Exhaust & Appearance forum for my Magnaflow muffler exhaust clips.</P>
The difference in HP is significant, if you plan on doing any other mods to the car Magnaflow is the best you can do. It sounds awesome IMO.</P>
Flowmaster mufflers are baffled & chambered, Magnaflow is straight through (you can see right through the damn thing), there is absolutely no restriction whatsoever. **X**** HP with a very tuned sound..</P>

Don't do the Mac set-up. The Steeda looks OK, but I did the C&L and I like it ALOT! I really felt an increase as soon as I put it on.</P>
I'm probably going with the MAgnaflow cat-back and catted X-pipe. Getting it in a few weeks!<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>

the C&L setup is the way to go bud! 85mm m.a.m. w/true flow pipe, K&N filter, FRPP 70mm t/b, & C&L upper intake plenum! You will not be sorry. I know from 1st hand experience.</P>
Exhaust...Magnaflows will give you the hp/ft-lbs you want, & sound good too. Plus they are completely stainless steel w/a lifetime warranty. Flowmasters do not give you much more than the sound. You DO net a few more ponies over stock, but Magnas make at least 7hp more! I've seen it on a dyno.</P>
