I defintely would have bought the 3rd gen system had it been available just to save a little hassle.

Sounds good, brandotron.

Sounds pretty good. Still, nothing like that flowmaster thunder, but kinda refined.

You gotta get a clip of some WOT driveby and cruise driveby. If the thing screams at WOT, it might be a good investemnt.

Another thing I noticed, is the idle sounds stock. Is it any louder in real life? Because one of the more important aspects too me is a real loud idle, so everybody can hear it at a red light.

brandotron · 03-23-2008, 01:05 AM

The idle is deeper than stock, but not much louder. I actually prefer it that way. People at stoplights can appreciate whatever stupid music I'm listening to

that sounds dirty i cant wait for it to come out when is the date for?

Jason E · 03-23-2008, 09:02 AM

I got underneath mine, and underneath the crud and dirt (the undercarriage of mine is getting painted and detailed this spring) my muffler does indeed say Magnaflow on it. Can I assume its a 3" all the way back? It sure looks big enough at first glance...

Brisk · 03-23-2008, 12:32 PM

I think it will sound very similar to my exhaust.., quiet at idle.. deep tone at cruising, and screaming at WOT - louder then the american thunder catback that was on previously, yet the interior volume is much quieter then the flowmaster below 3500rpm.

What makes this exhaust system specific to a TPI engine? Would I be able to use this on my 91 TBI camaro ?

Our TBI motors have the smaller inlet at the cat convertor. So TBI exhausts need to neck down to 2.25" at the ball/socket flange.

---------------------------

BRISK!! What positrac unit do you have in the black camaro?? That burnout / donut video was amazing! Both tires spinning, sideways drifting! I hate my 3.08 open, it wont even do a donut.

And BTW, the burnout + donut video, and the Lopey Idle Part 1 video, the exhaust sounded 100 times meaner.

ScottyB724 · 03-24-2008, 01:47 PM

I see. Well I assume this would work on my TBI because all at once I will be putting on some hooker shorty headers, cutting out the catylitic converter, and adding a mccord power plate cutout. The new magnaflow system should hook up with this setup, correct?

Here is the 1990 dual catalyst configuration. 22% increase in total flow capacity and should be hitting the dyno early next week.

I didn't find the dual cat system listed in their present Internet catalog. Do you know when they might have it listed. I really like the looks of the dual cat system and along with their new cat back system!

91z 2 8 · 03-26-2008, 08:40 PM

i cant wait for this exhaust whens it coming out?

GTA_IN_T.O · 03-27-2008, 10:55 AM

i called magnaflow today.....still no ETA..........do the guys that have received the exhaust maybe have any more info.......i think its going to be 6 weeks away, which is pushing it for me.

brandotron · 03-27-2008, 07:17 PM

45 days is what I was told at Magnaflow

91z 2 8 · 03-28-2008, 10:12 PM

damnit i really needa exhaust an am trying to decide betweeen waiting for this or just gettin a american thunder i dotn think i can wait for this tho but how much will it be do u know?

brandotron · 03-28-2008, 10:32 PM

Not sure. Magnaflow's website is probably the best place to find pricing. I think it was just over 500, last I checked.

91z 2 8 · 03-29-2008, 08:30 AM

whoa i think i can get the flowmaster for cheaper i cant decide

GTA_IN_T.O · 03-29-2008, 10:29 AM

Bump............for a countdown......cmon magnaflow i really need this ASAP!!!

91camaroct · 03-29-2008, 11:51 PM

So from what I'm hearing we should expect it Middle of May? Does that sound right?

TMZIrocZ350 · 03-30-2008, 08:12 PM

Does anyone have a link for the info on the exhaust? I just went on the Magnaflow site and couldn't find anything.

jsnico · 04-26-2008, 08:22 AM

Thought I would Kick this thread back to the top with some new information.
If you go to Maganaflow's site dyno numbers and clips of brandotron car are up on the website. According to there check availability app they will have them on 4-28-08. I also found them listed on one of there resellers site for considerable less then on maganaflow's website which we all expected.

Here are the links I found.
http://www.allmagnaflow.com/product.php?productid=1339

http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=AMML&id=4063

Just as a side note when My dad ordered his magnaflow cat back for 08 Solstice GXP he was able to get a lower price then the distributor had list on the web by calling and placing an order over the phone. Might be worth a try. I plan on ordering on Monday. I'll let you know if I am able to secure any other discounts by calling instead of ordering off line.

brandotron · 04-26-2008, 05:57 PM

WOW, my baby's on the Magnaflow site! I'm VERY flattered, and I'm stoked they dynoed it, but does this rwhp look right for a bone stock L98 with a high flow cat and exhaust? Do I have a factory freak?

slow_90firebird · 04-26-2008, 10:29 PM

Wow. Car sounds 100x better than I expected!

And only $350 for a stainless system?!? Now I have something else to consider since flowmaster went up.

Cool your car is something everyone will see. As for the dyno.. doesn't seem right. I noticed that when I saw it on their site. Forget the numbers, look at the curve. It's way wrong for a stock TPI

jsnico · 04-28-2008, 01:43 PM

Ordered mine today from www.performancepeddler.com/ Got the cat back system and a new cat for 438.53 with Free shipping

346.88 for Catback system
91.65 for the direct fit cat part # 93441.

You'll need to call cause it is not yet listed on their website.

Pics and sound clip to come once I have it installed.

Jason

slow_90firebird · 04-28-2008, 05:16 PM

nice. good luck

carscomefirst · 05-01-2008, 07:34 PM

Ordered one today due to ship 5-21-08

Ozz1967 · 05-04-2008, 06:14 PM

One of the posts said it sits and inch lower than stock? My car is lowered and I already have a hard enough time with speed-bumps hitting the Y-pipe....any of you have pictures of it on your car?
