I just pulled the trigger on ordering this system. Does anyone already have it ? Here's a link to it if anyone else is interested and to help clarify what I bought. It's on sale for $653.00 and free shipping. I will have it Tuesday as it will ship tomorrow from California.

I think you'll like it. Magnaflow products are a great deal given their excellent quality. I think Corsa's going to have to drop their prices if they want to compete with this.

I seriously thought about the Corsa and was going to order one then I found this. Considering it's a 3" and stainless for half the price I pulled the trigger. I heard sound clips of it but those are almost worthless. So far looks like I will have the test mule for this system around here. |

I have this system for the 86-91, I like it alot, the SS mufflers are awesome, but I do plug one tube in each muffler because its a little loud, but I'm dealing with 406ci as well.
Here is my sound clip Magnaflow Mufflers Clip Post some pics |

I don't have the Magnaflow cat-back, just the pipes, muffler and tips. Its a real quality system and has a great sound. Your going to love it.

You know I'm a Corsa fan John, but must admit that looks like a hell of a deal. Hope it turns out to be everything you are looking for!

I think the Corsa sounds good too and as you know I was going to order one. I found this set up and 3" stainless for $653.00 delivered I had to try it. I am anxious to get it on there. I'll share my thoughts next week. It should sound good on my car the only real issue is how much will it resonate, magnaflow said it will not. I don't mind some noise in the cabin it was the droning of the flowmasters when taking off from a stop that made me crazy, that and the 3.73 gears put the rpms into the drone zone on the highway.

I have an L98 with Headman Headers, spun cats, an X pipe, leading into 2 magnaflow mufflers. I don't have any resonation at all and the system sounds kick SS. I would suggest if you do have resonation trying a set of resonators, different tips, or a cherry bomb glass pack somewhere in between the system. That should cut down on the resonation... it may also increase backpressure and decrease power, IDK... it may not? It should reduce resonation thought. DG |

I got it on the car and it sounds GREAT no resonation. Today it was nasty hot 90 degrees plus with high humidity so the s.o.t.p. dyno wasn't worth much on a day like today. If you buy it be warned it comes with an extra o2 bung for the 96 cars you will need to plug unless you have a 96 and you will also need some 5/16X 3/4 nuts bolts and washers for the spring hangers. An oil pan drain plug will plug the extra O2 bung nicely. The one 3" band clamp is too big for the passengers side b.t.w. as well. Overall NICE fit and finish sounds great not too loud. You can talk at normal levels while cruising it is almost silent even with 3.73 rear gears. Very nice product.
