Really??? I had an o/r x pipe on my car for a while and when i swapped back to the magnaflow catted x, there was definitely a sound difference.

post pics, I wanna see how low your mid pipe hangs. I'm gonna be hacking up my slp catted x on friday to see if I can get a bit more clearance so I can get another .5" lower=P

Gotta love being able to adjust ride height on the fly...im gonna have my IRS soon aereon!!! im so pumped!!! Im pretty much gonna have the same setup as you, only with stock cobra shocks and struts running coilovers instead of HD's.

power flows... dont hear to much about those, does any1 have them on here?

Nope but i heard them on a mach with an o/r x pipe and longtubes and it sounded awesome and was still reasonably quiet with an o/r midpipe. ive heard a 2v or 2 with them and they sounded just as good.

Im thinking about the powerflos to go with the new IRS...i dont know how i feel about it though. I would also like to buy an SSS IRS catback if they would ever make one...

Keep factory mufflers with an o/r mid pipe if you want to be quite but have some tone, Magnaflow if you're an old man, Flowmasters if you want to be like everyone and their uncle, SLP loudmouths if you want to be annoying, and borla/bassani if you can afford it.

IMO.

The Magnaflow cats are much bigger than the Bassani cats. These cats are tiny! Don't get me wrong, there is a difference for sure between this and the O/R H I had on it a year ago. I was actually looking at getting the Magnaflow before I found this one by posting a WTB in the classifieds section. It is definitely smoother sounding than an O/R pipe, not as snappy which is nice with the Borlas that are on there now. It sounds amazing right now, I just know it's only a matter of time before I get pulled over for it.

I'll post some pics soon, but it fits really well and has some good clearance. It passed the speed bump test today! My stock cats were in fact clogged up a bit on the passenger side, so with replacing the mid-pipe it seems I have solved my "mysterious power loss." I should also have it back on the dyno early next week. The shop is moving locations and the dyno is coming apart tomorrow morning

Well i feel no loss in power at all going from the o/r to catted what so ever. And if i hadnt gotten the magnaflow catted x straight from a friend who is a dealer, i probably would have gotten bassani. Its good to have friends with dealer status
