Is magnaflow really as raspy as it sounds on the website's clips? it doesnt sound very good at all. I am interested in it because i think it is one of the better looking exhausts, tip wise. But how does it sound in person? can anyone describe it? if it is raspy i do NOT want it. thankss

There are not many owners who have installed magnaflow exhaust system in their Zs. However, there are owners who have installed magnaflow x-pipe mufflers with their after-market system to eliminate the rasp on their exhaust system. Search this forum with the word "magnaflow" and you'll get your answers.

Rasp is overrated.

And probably for good reason, from what I remember the Magniflow is called a Cat Back in the descriptions but is really a Y Back, from the prices I have seen, it lacks value considering the stock Y is probably the most restrictive part of the entire stock exhaust.

i see. but no one really answered my question. what does the magnaflow really sound like? does it retain any of the stock z sound?

The only way you can really retain the stock Z sound is having an exhaust system similar to the stock design. This includes a y-pipe, b-pipe with resonator, and a single muffler.

All the true dual exhaust systems like my evo2 get a bit deeper and change the exhaust sound characteristics a bit.

But the Magnaflow is a single type system the retains the factory Y pipe. The only thing it changes is the B and back box.

The philosophical question is:
"If a exhaust is made and nobody buys it, does it really have a sound?"

I have seen and heard one of these in the wild, on the SB on the left in this picture.


I don't remember a rasp, it might have been a little deeper than stock but actually, I don't remember it at all. I guess it did not make much of an impression. I think the owner was beaker02, although I think I remember him selling it or something. I don't know, its been a while.

You can eliminate rasp by adding resonators. Usually resonators remove the high pitch frequency in exhaust sounds, and mufflers remove the low. I would love to hear the magnaflow in person though.

If you're interested in a custom install instead of the Magnaflow kit, read the thread below:
