RE: Questions about purchasing Magnaflow Catback Exhaust
The drone is horrible, fitment istricky (dr side rattles)and several peoplehave had muffler bracket weld problems. I had the system, the drone was annoying and when I had the bracket weld problemMagnaflow refused to warranty it. (less than 6 months on the car) I trashed the system and went JBA... fitment was great and no drone.

RE: Questions about purchasing Magnaflow Catback Exhaust
they've also been dubbed "MagnaDrones". Something to think about before placing that order 
. Borla's (or FRPP) and JBA's have consistently had some of the better reviews. Other systems have gotten high marks but on a less consistent basis. What type of sound are you looking for? thats a key factor for deciding on exhaust and whether or not you will be happy with it.

i guess there are modifications you can make to reduce the drone so good luck with it. i'm sure magnaflows are quality products but its just that they have gotten a mediocre rep on our sxrs cuz of drone.

drone from inside the car, incredible sound outside the car. more than worth it IMO. and that picture of the broken weld...glad its not just me! that happened to me a month ago, I just had a universal hanger put on the pipe to fix it. the magnaflow welded bracket is just silly.
