SLP vs. Magnapacks
I cant find any decent videos with SLP, but I have found a bunch of magnapacks and they sound awesome! Im leaning towards magnapacks but what would you reccomend to match them up with, an H pipe or X? Does it sound good paired up with an MRT catted H? I cant find any clips of that. Thanks

RE: SLP vs. Magnapacks
The SLP exhaust is a lot raspier than the magnaflow systems. I have never liked the sound of SLP exhausts to begin with.
An H-pipe gives the more muscle car sound and a little less power. The x-pipe gives a more sport sound and more power up top.
I have a catted magna x and the packs. I can't dream of a better set-up, minus long tubes and an O/R X. Fairly quiet when you want loud as hell when you do too.
I would stick with the Magna's good stuff easy bolt on, plus the tips look better too

RE: SLP vs. Magnapacks
Ill go ahead and be the first peron on this post to mention that if you want your car to sound like it has *****, get flows. Your not sacrificing THAT much hp by choosing flows over the magnas. The only time you would worry about performance when choosing mufflers is when you have a car that is pushing serious hp. I keep hearing people whining about the honing from flows too...GET A SOUND SYSTEM then you wont hear it AND your car will sound like it eats small children.

RE: SLP vs. Magnapacks
Well flows can't hold a candle to packs at WOT. Flows are tinny, more so with a x-pipe, drone like a mother at 2000rpm.
It doesn't matter if you ae aren't pushing serious HP, every bit counts if power is what you want.
I for one am into performance, I am not going to put in subs and crap that weight the car down. I would much rather listen to my car then the radio.
I cringe at the sound of flows. Just hollow bass, nothing to the sound. Just not a fan.

the slp system is identical to the magnaPACK system. whatever you can get for the best price is the way to go.

Well said nomo. I for one like sound as well as performance. But I also like saving money too. I'm a cheap bastard. Can I say bastard on this forum?
