Default Magnaflows

Im still considering some different exhaust setups..... What is the difference between the magna packs and the actual magnaflow catback? Which sounds better? What would sound better coupled with an O/R X pipe? I found a good deal on these so i may get these instead of the borla.... I just cant seem to find a clip of either one with just an O/R X so let me know.

the regular magnaflows are a chambered design, i think they're a good choice if you don't want anything too loud but the 'packs on the other hand are a crazy loud, straight-through design. most guys say they sound best with an X pipe but personally, i think they sound great with either

Regular magnaflows have no chambers or baffles. They are packed more with sound deadening material.

Magnapacks are fully straight & packed with fiberglass.

The important thing is that they are the same performance-wise, at least they are according to Magnaflow.

I don't like the sound of O/R X's so I would say neither. The MagnaPacks are significantly louder than the regulars, simply because the regular is a full-size muffler. Both are straight through design. I know the regular catback has a nice rumble down low and screams at WOT. They sounded good N/A and sound even better with FI.

If you want loud, the MagnaPacks are for you.

If it's for a 99-04 GT, go to hottexhaust.com and buy the MagnaPacks for $469.99. Use 'fordtruck8' as the coupon code and it shows up to your door for $357.19.

The magnapacks are much louder. We offer Magnaflow discounts to Mustangforum members as well. Just email us with a part # for a quote.
