IRONCHEF, great review, I'm amazed at how good that system looks on your car, didn't think it would look that good. What about power?? Do you feel a difference, how about power down low?? Give us your butt dyno feedback on this baby, I'm ready to order this, just want to know if the power is there, but for the money it seems like a slam dunk. Nice job with this write up sir!!

What I don't like about sound clips is that they don't truly capture the sound as if you were actually there. Think about it, if I installed a JL audio system in the G and then recorded it for you, would it sound the same? The microphone used has limitations, especially when it comes to sub 500 hz frequencies which are felt more than heard.

The Magnaflow has very, very deep tone. There is absolutely no high pitch to it nor is there any popping or drone. You feel the exhaust as much as you hear it and for me, that's the best part.

There may be some more power but to be perfectly honest, I bought it for the sound potential. The G has plenty of power for my needs already but it lacked that "soul" feel I was looking for. The Magnaflow gave me that aggressive vibe and I couldn't be happier.

As for me, the tone has gotten louder since it's broken in. Not obscene, but not as quiet as it was originally.

Everyone seems to be quite happy with their magnaflows, but I still have to hear it in person.

Just a quick note that may help some with their installs: I found out on the phone with Magnaflow that the clamps need to be really tight. There should be almost no gap between the metal insert and the clamp ends by the mounting bolt. I retightened the bolts with a deep 15mm socket and the sound lessened, became more throaty, and the little drone is gone!
