I just want to know what you guys think about buying th exhaust? good or bad idea? and if it will be a deep aggressive tone? please give me some feedback i dont want to buy something i might regret. thanks
The drone is horrible, fitment is tricky (dr side rattles) and several people have had muffler bracket weld problems. I had the system, the drone was annoying and when I had the bracket weld problem Magnaflow refused to warranty it. (less than 6 months on the car) I trashed the system and went JBA... fitment was great and no drone.

they've also been dubbed "MagnaDrones". Something to think about before placing that order . Borla's (or FRPP) and JBA's have consistently had some of the better reviews. Other systems have gotten high marks but on a less consistent basis. What type of sound are you looking for? thats a key factor for deciding on exhaust and whether or not you will be happy with it.
damn it i wish i would have seen this post earlier because i heard it on the website and it sounded awesome. but i think if i get the right mecahnic to put it on, then i should be fine. im looking for a smooth aggressive tone, by the way.

sounds like you already purchased it. if so, good luck. if not, research those with less or no drone.

i guess there are modifications you can make to reduce the drone so good luck with it. i'm sure magnaflows are quality products but its just that they have gotten a mediocre rep on our sxrs cuz of drone.
drone from inside the car, incredible sound outside the car. more than worth it IMO. and that picture of the broken weld...glad its not just me! that happened to me a month ago, I just had a universal hanger put on the pipe to fix it. the magnaflow welded bracket is just silly.
idk what every one is talking about a drone. i have the magnaflow cat back and i love it. it made my buddy with a 350z get his straight piped, then when that sounded bad he got a nismo exhaust, and i still love mine better. and when i go through a short tunnel its "blank'in" sweet!!!!! has such an aggressive sound, if i knew how id put some clips on here! long story short, i love them!!!
