Best Exhaust?

[tjbusa]

Without a doubt, the best system is the one you research that rings your bell. Nothing less will do, yep as far as I know they all can be installed single handedly.

Man those systems are on different ends of the sound spectrum.....especially if you are just doing the cat-back without LT headers.

The Magnaflow 3" has the street mufflers and is not a ton louder than stock. Now...add LT headers and that's a different story.

The ATAK is on the other end....it seems pretty loud even with the factory headers and mid-pipes. I would imagine with LT headers the ATAK may be too loud for some.

You need to cosider if you're going with headers or not. I think with Headers I would consider the Magnaflow....without headers you'll probably be better off with the ATAK.

Now....the 2.5" Magnaflow Comp is totally different.

Keep doing your research and listening to videos.

How different are they really? Same setup, X pipe to the muffler in the back. The only thing different is the muffler chamber design?

So what would you say is better? a 3" diameter pipe or a 2.5" Being the engineer (athough I have never practiced, I am military) I would think they 2.5" pipe will give you more back pressure, and increased velocity of air from the engine... but the 3" will give you more volume of exhaust air to be pushed out.

From what I have heard in the videos the Magnaflow 3" competition series is MUCH louder than stock.
