Im running Gibson dual out the back. I've had it for three years now, I will post video today hopefully.. Its got a good tone not to loud not to quiet either... Don't know why people trash on gibson.. But, punisher does know what he's talking about his exhaust sounds wicked... I'd like to go with the magna flow si/so weld on a y-pipe into the duals..

When I was looking for a cat back system, I seriously looked at Borla, but in the end I couldn't justify the price. nearly double the price over the magnaglow cat back system. I "settled" on the magnaflow dual exit cat back. Can't wait till it gets here.

Why do so many people buy these over priced systems?


It "baffles" my mind....



CUSTOM IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

If you want to do something for yourself, go change yours or a friends spark plugs...

or go buy this...

I had a single on my F150. Decent quality, but too quiet, sounded about same as stock. Much prefer the Mgna Flow on my Expedition.

Some of us have more money than brains.

I'm in my late 30's, and was talking to my old man the other day on the phone. I told him I was pulling the factory exhaust in favor of a magnaflow catback SIDO. His response was awesome, and reminded me of you here just now. He said... "WTF, if there is 100 clicks in a clue, you haven't got a click, never mind a clue! Waste F'n money like that... whats the matter with you?"

I laughed, he didn't.

Oh, and I love lego too.

What advantage can you think of by adding a Y after a SI/SO? Why not just run a SI/DO from the get go and save the cost of the Y pipe?

I never said there was an advantage other than the fact the way it sounds.. Theres a memeber on here that has the exhaust setup.. 08fx4.. which was in the exhaust competition and his sounds amazing in my opinion..

Grant, I had a quick look through the contest, but could only find hardrock's truck with a si/so and a y after. Is that the member you were referring to?


One of his pics he listed in the contest.
