My Custom V6 Magnaflow Catback exhaust (for half the price)

[VT2CA]

Love the sound clips I've been hearing of magnaflow catback setups and others' custom rigs. Unfortunately I don't have the budget to step up to their catback kit, so I did the next best thing and copied what they are offering, not exactly, but close... and with great results.

Thanks to JDP for setting me up with the parts at an amazing price and helping guide me through my decision process on what to buy.
Here's what I got:
(2) Magnaflow 14866 6" round mufflers
(1) Magnaflow 11386 resonated Xpipe
(2) Magnaflow 35136 4" Tips
My local exhast shop did the work installing the parts and I also had them pull all new 2.5" pipe from the cats - back through the system. Total cost with installation was around $500.
Here's a couple of pics:



No sound clips just yet, but I will say this: It is not loud, sound is deeper and more aggressive than stock for sure but not ear drum shattering like cutting off the mufflers. On the other hand performance boost is all there, no, I have not put it on the dyno, but you can feel the power that this system adds when it throws you back in your seat, as for MPG - it's about the same.

If you're on a budget like me and prefer performance gains over louder sound than this is the way to go for sure. Let me know what you guys think. Barton shifter is about to go in next (hopefully this week)

Awsome! In case you do get clips eventually make sure you post em up here!

$500 bucks for all that including the new 2.5" piping all the way back sounds like a nice deal to me!
