Magnaflow 16483 Cat-Back Noise Levels? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Here is mine as well.....

topgun1 · 03-16-2010, 10:43 PM

I got mine from HottExhaust.com for around $850 shipped, but it's been a few months, doubt that special is still good.

the exhaust sounds great, much deeper and louder than stock. Has a great rumble at idle and at WOT is devilish, especially combined with the K&N intake. It rattles the windows around the front door of my house when it's in the carport. Around 75 mph does get a little annoying on a long trip and you'll always have some decel popping. But you'll get that with any straight-through design. The polished stainless mufflers look good and the 4" tips are nice. The stock mufflers are hideous.

you'll be happy with the magnaflow 3" competition series cat-back. It definitely gets people's attention. The SS needed that sound to go with its great look and it delivers.

I received my Magnaflow cat-back today. I bought it from Califcowboy on e-bay. $800 delivered to my door. I can't wait to get this thing installed.

Kwik · 03-23-2010, 01:05 PM

Yes. I think I can handle this one. I'm not so sure about the Hurst shifter that is supposed to get here on Thursday though.

victoryred1ss · 03-23-2010, 01:23 PM

Opinions of people that have this exhaust with long tubes please... is it too quiet? I'm stuck between this and ARH headers or a stainless works aggressive with their headers... I know the stainless will be louder, but I can get a nice deal on the magnaflow/arh combo...

I don't want to make a new exhaust thread, I hate them just like everyone else haha.

I think this system should be plenty loud for most folks. Any louder and you might draw more attention than you want. It also has a nice burble when you get out of the throttle. This is my third Magnaflow. I had one on a 69 Camaro with a 454 and one in my 2004 SVT Cobra. You can't beat the quality. Bob

louder the better for me.

Iwantone2 · 03-24-2010, 10:50 AM

Mine's a 2.5" custom set-up similar to the 16483...it's got a pretty good, loud, deep tone to it and no drone!!! Gave me an extra 10rwhp...here's a video clip of it on the dyno (use earphones if you have any to get better sound):

Get some electric cut-outs if you want LOUD...
I had then on my twin turbo Cobra...talk about retarded loud!! Sounded like a top fuel dragster at WOT...
Nice thing is you can close them and have a fairly quite exhaust,stealth mode or open them and be as loud as possible.
I used to love to pull up from the pits with them closed then open them right before I did my burn out...talk about getting some strange looks lol.
