New Muffler is Awesome!

I had a Mangnaflow muffler installed on my car yesterday and I love it. The actual pipe in the muffler is about 2.25" and the tip is close to 4" or so. The tip is a bit bigger than I thought it would be but the shop did a good job of installing the muffler so the tip isn't as obvious as it is on some cars. So far I don't notice any loss in power and the sound is just plain awesome. At idle its slightly louder than stock and a little more "throaty" and when you give it gas the sound only gets better. For the first time in 3.5 years I had the radio off yesterday just listening to the sound---I love it

I have a magnaflow muffler too...

I didn't listen to the radio at all for the first week of my CES kit.

I have the same muffler on my wrx. It does get a little louder over time because the muffler frees up. But not bad. I love the sound! WOT is too cool.

The more I listen to it and drive my car the more I love this sound!! It was funny at the exhaust shop because they were like a muffler on a Subaru and I was like trust me. After the installation the mechanic started it up and everyone was like wow! A guy in the waiting room thought that the "sound" was coming from an old school bus out behind the shop!

Actually, you have a 'Super Cat' muffler. It's the Australian equivalent (spelling?) of the US Magnaflow.

You spelled it right.

By equivalent do you mean it's similar in function but different internally, or do you mean it's the same internally but just has a different name stamped into the side?

Hmm, I'm not sure. Magnaflow is a brand right, not a design, or is it both? Super Cat is supposed to be the Australians equivalent to Magnaflow in workmanship, quality, sound and price. I don't actually know if it's the same product stamped different or not, I don't think so but it could be.

Whatever it is, It sounds bitchin, and A-Spec, which makes it cool

I'm really starting to like all the bling I've got going on

I thought Magnaflow was a brand... I dunno. Oh well, sounds like either Super Cat or Magnaflow is a good choice.

Ya, I think it's a brand as well.

Magnaflow is a brand. I don't know if it's a model as well?

Sounds good though, so that's a plus. And it HAULS so that's also really good
