Try the search function. Also I thought that the magnaflow did provide hp/tq gains.

Interesting point, I have seen a few people say something like that on here before, but Im not sure what to think about that. Like you said though, the stock system is good but, I would really like to have mine roar.

I lost about 10 hp/ tq at high and low when I put on my bassani no-cats and cat-back exhaust ... so I have one LOUD as hell mid-range monster on my hands, its fun scaring the little honda crowd.

So, the Bassani system will give some more mid-range, but lose alittle on low and high? But that loud part sounds good. I quess I can go with no cats because there no emissions testing around here.

Anybody else with a Bassani system like to comment on it?

big man, get the Magnaflow

I bought one this past summer and it sounds great,plus feels like more power. Great rumble,especially under load, at slower speeds,plus good roar at WOT. All stainless for $330 + shipping. Larry a guy on this board as "****" or "flying ****" I think. Best for price!

Iv been trying to find Magnaflows cat-back on there website but I can find it anywhere. What comes in the kit(singal, daul mufflers, x-pipe, etc)? $330 plus shipping sounds like a good deal.

you won't find it on their site for some reason.

the best exhaust out there is probably the Bassani, but its a little pricey.

the magnaflow is probably the best bang for your buck

JDM magnaflow is also nice but more money and is almost the same thing as the real magnaflow (jdm came first though)

flowmaster and mac are for the cheap people (like me)

borla is good but i haven't heard much about this system, but i hate the tips ugly!

ATR is a 3" system, also super pricey, don't know much else about it

MAC

I have a MAC system that I got for 200.00 and to me the sound is awesome. It is aluminized but that isn't where the problem is. It's the tips. They are chrome and they will rust. But I still have my stocker so it doesn't matter. If it gets bad enough I can put that back on or buy another-and if I do it will probably be a Basani.
