I second that! I just got a magnaflow muffler with 2.25 in piping and am loving it! That thing has a very deep tone, not ricey at all.

ok now that we re on the topic. when u add headers and exhausts u gain hp right. but because of the loss of compression u can loose torque.... am i right? if so will ur car be faster... u will lose low end torque but will gain hp. so i cant make my car jump whenever i step on the gas, but it will pick up speed quicker if i leave my foot on the throttle....?

sorry these are just thoughts and theories of mine....

Actually, I believe you gain both... Most people have said that you notice more low end power when you add these things on.

Another magnaflow fan. I have dual magnaflow muffs on my accord and they sound great. They have a nice tone on takeoff and are quieter at cruising speed (55-65mph) so you can hear your music good.

so where can I find these mufflers? Ebay doesn't seem to have just the muffler... I'd have to get the full catback which I really can't afford now...

Maybe try cardomain....also to save some money maybe have a local shop do the piping for you.


Hey 03 sleeper what did you end up getting? Seems like a lot of magnaflow fans on here!!! Come join the club!

About the sri, you don't want to use the filter that comes with it though do you? If you get the one off e-bay.

From what I have read on the forum, absolutely not. Everybody says to either get an AEM dryflow filter (which does not need to be oiled) or a K&N filter (does need to be oiled). I believe you will wind up paying about $50 for the AEM from what I have researched. Everyone on here seems to like the dryflow.
