Mac or Magnaflow Catback?

[Black01Stang]

I just can't justify spending $600 on the Borla setup, and I was just wondering which of these two would make better power? Anyone have any idea?

I think Magnaflow. It is a flow through muffler, and macs are chambered. Flows throughs make more power from what I have heard.

The power difference isnt going to be that big so I say go with sound. MAC with Prochamber!!

 

[03phil]

I have magnaflows and love them

Mac. I love the sound of my Mac catback, and i made 403 to the wheels with just that and an intake.

 

[Black01Stang]

Hmm, I may go ahead and do that then since I'm just shooting for 400 at the rear wheels with CAI and Catback. If you don't mind me asking, were those numbers STD or SAE?

Black01Stang - I have a MAC 2.5 catback for sale...I just put it on my car. It is one of the new black ones. I've decided to go with a solid axle so if you want it I'll pull it off. I just put it on Thursday night. It sounds great but was a bitch to get to fit right...but we finally got it. Let me know.

Why was it so hard to put on? And how much do you want for it?

I like the Magnaflows...I have heard them all and seen quite a few different combos on dynos and the track...the Magnaflows are a great all around system.....but of course I also like the Bassani setup....but thats mo money as you said

It comes in 6 pieces...just a pain to get everything to line up. I paid $369 + shipping for it...I'll eat some of it if you want it...$330 shipped?

I just received my Magnaflow catback today. WOW, what a nice exhaust, the quality is amazing! The whole catback is stainless steel with mandrel bent tubing. The mufflers and tips are VERY shiny. I've heard the Magnaflow catback in person on another terminator and it sounded great!:thumbsup: I didn't realize the quality was so good as well, not to mention the performance is top notch. Definitely the best "bang for your buck" catback.:beer:
MAC sounds good and performs fairly well, but the quailty/fitment is sh!t in my opinion. The Magnaflow straight thru muffler will make more power than the MAC chambered muffler.

I'm not sure what i'm going to do yet, but i'll keep you in mind. I'm still on the fence between the MAC and Magnaflow.

 

[Rwick7]

no problemo...just let me know

 

[I-CAN-STANG]

get the maggies

 

[mavado007]

I have Bassani. But betwen these two Exhausts, Magnaflow All The Way!!!!

 

[Rwick7]

The only problem I have with the Magnaflow are the tips look ridiculous. Are they changed easily or are they part of the pipes? They don't have enough slash to them in my opinion

Magnaflow

 

[cobra4v]

MAGNAFLOW! Usually I don't feel a SOTP difference with a cat-back..but on my 03, the Magnaflow sure made a big difference.

 

[CaptNemo]

Magnaflow.

I've seen shaved apes weld better than what's on the MAC stuff.

I had the magnaflow and went to the mac 3inch, wish i still had the manaflow much nicer quality/fitment(stainless). but thats my .02. Jerry
