Will Magnaflows get louder?

97blkgt · December 22nd, 2009, 06:52 PM

I bought Magnaflows for my GT today.. I don't really like them. They are about as quiet as stock. I have an O/R H pipe so I didn't think it could possibly be this quiet.

I heard somewhere that they get louder after some miles. Anyone know if this is true? How much louder?

ShapeShifter · December 22nd, 2009, 06:53 PM

they'll get decently louder after a few thousand miles.

97blkgt · December 22nd, 2009, 06:57 PM

will they compare any with flowmasters? Not the tone, just the volume level..

ShapeShifter · December 22nd, 2009, 07:05 PM

Errr, Can't Really Say...I Had Them At One Time....Decently Loud At WOT.

Ryguy33 · December 22nd, 2009, 07:08 PM

what ive hurd about magnaflows is that at WOT its loud as can be but when just idling its as quite as stock. im guessing its ment for the people who dont like to hear their exhaust all the time only when they floor it.

97blkgt · December 22nd, 2009, 07:13 PM

forgive me for being a newbee but what is WOT?

carnut59 · December 22nd, 2009, 07:52 PM

should have got the magnapacks.

WOT=wide open throttle

97blkgt · December 22nd, 2009, 07:54 PM

yeah well... hindsight... its 20/20..

Wide Open Throttle (pedel to the floor)

Idk my dad had a Magnaflow catback on his Mach 1, sounded stock and not loud enough. He got an Xpipe and sounded sweeeeet.

Same with mine, I tried Magnaflows with stock H-pipe and sounded gay. Added the X Pipe and sounded good, not nearly as good as it does on the 4V.

If I were you, Id either go X Pipe or Magnapack SLP LM2

97blkgt · December 22nd, 2009, 07:59 PM

ok, I'm trying to eliminate the drone of flowmasters that kills me on the interstate (I drive a lot on it) but still have a nice rumble.

I8ACMRO · December 22nd, 2009, 08:07 PM

I have the regulars and they get a little louder and ARE NOT AS LOUD AS FLOWS!!! I had my x w/ the Flow Super 44's and now w/ the regular magnaflows and the flows were so much better sound wise but the awful drone has gone bye-bye. I'll take a noise hit just to get rid of the drone

97blkgt · December 22nd, 2009, 08:14 PM

I8ACMRO- Thats kindof where I am now.. Do the Magnapacks have any drone? what about interstate? anyone know?

sharkbait · December 22nd, 2009, 10:03 PM

Is the drone about 2k rpm?

If so then yes they do.
If you got Magnapacks then they will over time get louder... but idk about you....mine are loud as f*ck. I have a stock h pipe and stock headers. People here me coming before im even on the street..

I get yelled at cause i wake people up in the morning...

And thats just with regular magnaflows, or do you have the magnapacks? how many miles do you have on them?

sharkbait · December 22nd, 2009, 10:22 PM

I have magnapacks. I bought the car use with 93k. Its at 108k and they slowly progress as i drive more.

I believe the packs do but I could be mistaken. They're just as loud if not louder then the Super 44's I had with an offroad X pipe and the 44's would drone ridiculously bad

sharkbait · December 22nd, 2009, 10:31 PM

I get a drone but its only at low speeds. But its a hell of a drone.

97blkgt · December 22nd, 2009, 10:36 PM

hmm.. well being that i've got an o/r Hpipe.. maybe it wouldn't be the best idea to go w/ the magnapacks.. It could set car alarms off before I changed to magnaflows, I want it a little quieter, but not like it is now..

sharkbait · December 22nd, 2009, 10:48 PM

Oh the fun I have with car alarms...
