Best mod EVER......

Just got my Magnaflow muffler welded into
my Midpipe. With DP/MP/CB.

This mod is the best thing since sliced bread:

I can now hear my Blow Off Valve
I can Hear my Turbos
I can hear the car next to me idle
my ears don't bleed from just driving around normally
I can hear my radio
I can hear myself think..

MY CAR SOUNDS NORMAL NOW.. whoohoooo

but my wastegate is still vented to the atmospher
which i will keep that way. So if need be, i can still
make people tremble with fear and break their ear drums..

Uhh, is this a joke. You can hear the blow off valve without any problems anyway. and a lot of the other stuff as well.

Maybe i don't get it.

If you have a straight through exhaust you'll know what I mean..
Yea before the magnaflow, i kinda sorta heard it, mixed in with all
the NOISE. But now.. I can really hear it now. along with the birds
planes, and other cars..

And no its not a joke. With the Magnaflow welded in. Car sounds
good now.. not obnoxiously LOUD. Another funny thing is.
I think it fixed my high idle.. It would usually sit around 1100-1200rpms.
But now its sitting at 800-900.

Just got finished adjusting the clutch peddle, too..

even contemplating on installing some Eibach springs, myself.

I just got a res midpipe instead of my high flow cat. I am having such a better time driving my car now, it feels smoother and sounds much better and it's not as loud. Plus I get high off the fumes all day

I am having a pair of Magnaflow mufflers welded into my 4" turboback exhaust, one in the midpipe and one in the rear section. I'm hoping it won't be crazy loud

With two magnaflows, your car is gonna be purring quiet.. I assume..

Do you think its gonna restrict your flow with 2 mufflers and a catback?

I should have been more specific.....it's a full 4" pipe from the turbo all the way back, with 2 mufflers in total---one magnaflow in the mid section and one magnaflow in the rear section.

The magnaflow 4" mufflers are straight through---you can roll a tennis ball through them, literally. Versus the borla xr-1, which has a u-shaped baffle lengthwise through the pipe, which must cause some restriction.

This should be the one Tony. You can find them on ebay more cheaply than list price, about $116 if you search for 'magnaflow muffler 14153'
