Ok I've got it down to two choices...
 
I want to get a new catback setup and catted mid pipes:

For catback I have it narrowed down to JDM SB or Magnaflow.

Currently, I have the following Magnaflow muffler welded into my stock pipes: 14468

Will the full Magnaflow catback be louder than this muffler? The setup I have now is just too quiet and I want mean/loud. Which is louder (JDM or Magnaflow) and which is a better $$

Is the dual magnalfow setup louder than the single setup?
If I understand correctly, JDM is dual and Magnaflow is single.

Which Cats should I go with? I'm keeping the stock manifolds, can I cut the stock cats out and weld some new ones onto the stock pipes? If so what cats should I get? I have a local shop that does great work if I just supply them the right parts.

Otherwise, what is the best midpipe w/ cats?

Thanks,
Jim

I apologize if you are sick of seeing these types of posts...I just want to make sure I get the loudest setup I can afford and I want it to sound mean as heck!

She's trying to tell you that if you want loud, the silver bullet is the choice to make.

If you want loud/mean, just get the SB... don't waste your money like I did. Don't get me wrong, the Magnaflow sounds nice but it's too quiet IMO.

Gotcha...I had too much to drink last night and I'm a little slow this morning. LOL. What about cats? I the SB is louder then that's the way I'll go.

i have the high flow cats and the single magna flow

it is to loud if you ask me or my nieghbors :devil:

its only REAL loud when you get into the throttle (95% of the time)

but what the hell i'm getting older and i probably wont hear it soon

Has anyone just cut the old cats out and has some new ones installed with bent pipe? That's my plan @ least. To get the JDM $88 cats and weld them in place of the stock pipes.

The Silver Bullet is 2 Magna Packs.

I have the SB with now hollow High Flow Cats and Kooks LT headers.
It is loud and mean sounding.

Go with the Magna Packs you won't be disappointed. ;)

Ok thanks...I think I'm going to order tomorrow. JDM sells the cats for their system and I was thinking of having a shop cut off my existing cats and welding the high-flows in place. Did you get new midpipes with cats or did you cut out the old and weld in new?

TriPodRacing Jul 24, 2005 07:27 PM

I got new mid pipes and cats when I got my Long Tube Headers.

Stock maniflods not sure how you would go about it.Not sure if they sell a high flow cat set up for stock manifold.never went that route I sure someone on here has.
