Thanks Randy

I'm ordering mine and I've got a great price. Being in Canada things like this usually don't work in our favour, this time I'm getting it for the typical "group buy" type price including shipping etc. The best part is the company is local to Toronto so no shipping. If any Toronto are interested please let me know, I promised not to publish the price so contact me here via PM if you're interested. I need 3 buyers in order to get this great price.

Paul

Got mine from Husker Performance last week ($620 including shipping to Va). Had Midas do the install. Now it's the best thing about the car. The sound is SWEEEEEEEEEEET. You'll love it. BTW, I had heard from some that you need use sound deadening stuff... I can't imagine why you'de want to do that?!

Magnaflow installed today, and the only word I can think of to describe the sound is AWESOME!

Yes, it is loud, but IMHO not too loud. It passed the wife/daughter test, so now I just have to get the intake, pulley, software upgrade and I will be finished

I agree - I talked to Randy about the different choices and decided on the Magnaflow. I did the install myself, and it only took about an hour. It does help to have two people, but the install is very straight forward.

What a difference - my "seat of the pants" dyno says it is a noticable improvement in performance, and it's not too loud. I don't understand the complaint from others, but I guess everyone's different.

Now I'm just waiting on the Alta intake (also ordered from Randy) - hopefully it will be here in a few days.

I'm very pleased with the Magnaflow!

DITTO what Whitney said. Also realize they get quieter after a 1000miles or so.

Are you sure that's not just from the hearing loss it causes??
