Magnaflow 16537
Anyone running this exhaust system?
Likes/Dislikes? Thinking about using this instead of the BMW PE because of price. BMW PE is about $1000 Magnaflow is about $650-$700 Any insight? |

+1. I like the PE sound since it's higher pitch and doesn't overstate a 230hp car, but it's so damn expensive. I'd rather get a Magnaflow + AA tune for the same price... I just don't know how it sounds and am concerned with drone/overstatement.

If i were to do it again, I would just have a custom exhaust made at a shop. Delete the secondary cats, res, and add a high flow muffler. At that point you can pick your tone by choosing the muffler. it'll be pretty much the same as my setup, but cheaper and maybe lighter.
