also i know people on here have the magnaflow duals from rksport but i was wondering what would be the better buy....duals for $400.....or single exit magnaflow catback for $300 plus high flow catalytic converter for $200.......or just the straight up rear section??? help.

the single or duals would be whateva you like more. In my opinion, get a custom made system. Alot cheaper. You can pick up a magnaflow cat for around $70, a magnaflow muffler for around $100, a tip for around $30 and have some custom piping made. So for $400ish you can have a nice custom system.

sweet man but if i chose to go with just the full catback with the single exit...would it sound as good as i want? or would i NEED the high flow cat?

We have the most common magnaflow cat members of this forum use. It is Magnaflow p/n 94035, it is a 2.25" in/out cat, with a pre welded in O2 boss.

Interesting. Anyway, your sound is your opinion. I like my dual Magnaflow sound. But it's loud. You might not like the loud. So if you want quieter, I'd go with a single exit, if you want real loud, go with the dual.

Don't get me wrong, I love my sound, it's just a bit scary driving around at night waiting to get pulled over for it, lol. If you're doing just a cat-back exhaust, the sound will be fine with the duals. I have a header back, so it's louder. Hopefully in a couple of days, I'll have a sound file I can post. Until then, keep asking people.


(Never gotten pulled over for exhaust sound)

I would agree on this one the Magnaflow cat back sounds so much better! RK Sport is really raspy sounding....

Turbo Tech Racing,
does the single magnaflow catback sound good at all? because on rksports site it says you get a stylish new look without changing your cars sound.....kinda weird. thanks much for the info on the rksport duals cuz i was def thinking about getting those.

I would personally have to disagree with RK Sports statement. It is very raspy. The magnaflow system has nearly zero raspy sound to it. Atleast when you compare the RK Sport to the magnaflow, I would go with the magnaflow.

alright cool man youre honestly a great help. i know i just keep asking questions but pacesetter catback it cheap and i know it sucks balls but could i buy it for $175 and then just buy a new muffler and have it welded onto the catback piping? that might be pretty tight.

Hehe... about that idea... that's basically what it did. Got Pacesetter cat-back and it did nothing but sound horrible and piss me off all the time. Added header and removed cat, sound became literally embarassing. Added 25" glasspack, Magnaflow cat, and Magnaflow muffler, and it's just now starting to sound OK... but still all the Pacesetter piping is literally rotting before my eyes.

I'd go for custom personally, but if you buy ANY cat-back, please don't buy the Pacesetter... even if you're gonna change the muffler. It'll sound good w/ new muffler, but 1-2 years later it'll basically turn to dust.

Something to think about.
