Magnaflow 19134 Installed tonight, review.

Magnaflow 19134 for the F56S 3 door.
Fresh and minty straight from Maganaflow factory in Oceanside.

Took an hour on jack stands. Sawzall to cut pipe, slide off 2 hangers, muffler down!!
Slide new muffler onto the center pipe tighten clamp, 2 bolts for the rear hanger, and use a floor jack with a 12" 2X4 to hold the muffler to align.

Tips are double wall round angle cut. Fills up the rear bumper cutout really well.
Smoke comes out of both tips!!

The sound, well, lets say 20 to 30 somethings out there won't like it!!
For us "Mature" drivers, its perfect.
Great throaty sound on acceleration, does not sound at all like a Civic with Greddy!!!
No drone, freeway at 65MPH, you can barely tell its not stock. In Sport, the pops and burbles are definitely increased, and you can really hear the waste gate dumping into the exhaust. Even better with the ASD turned off.


Pictures and Sound Clips this weekend.

Yes, would like to hear it. It's pretty new out. Most of the new F56 stuff does not sound really loud unless you get a valved exhaust like FI exhaust or IPE Innotech we carry.
