Default Magnaflow's new 3" system

It's hard to find any videos besides the one(s) on Magnaflow.com
Anyone have this exhaust? It's Magnaflow 16784 5x5x14" mufler, and 3" piping single to dual. 4" exits.

http://magnaflow.com/02product/shope...ne=all&id=6691

edit
Click on SOUND CLIPS NOT CUSTOMER VIDEOS because of an error on their site.
This is why I wouldn't mind other clips.


Why I'm enquiring is because I have a gift certificate to a local shop that gets them for $860 CDN (cheeeap considering retail is $1,300+). I can install it at my work

Any experience with this exhaust?
Darryl

Yes, their orange Z has the 3" single exhaust with seperate mufflers.

To me, it sounds sick.

https://my350z.com/forum/north-west/...y-exhaust.html

there's some pictures if you'd like to see it installed.

I have it. I'm selling it, though (locally). I'm not just saying I like it because I'm selling it, I've praised it to others because I truly like it. It's very deep and burley, a note difficult to acquire on the Z. On a loudness scale it's pretty mid-range in comparison to all of the available exhaust systems. I have stock headers and cats and it sounds great, no drone or rasp throughout the entire rpm range

I personally enjoy the stock level of noise moreso though. Haven't met a Z owner that didn't like my exhaust set up yet, I just want my car to be a little more professional and quiet. Back to stock I go.. or maybe nismo, if it's quiet enough.

btw, installed it in October. the systems been out for a few months, I heard a clip of a nismo Z on a dyno with it and I was pretty sold, lol. I took some cell phone video recordings that are in .3gp if you want to hear them, not the best, but it's something. quicktime or VLC will open the file ..

Just a heads up* Magnaflow lists the OUTER diameter as 3" not inner. Secondly, Magnaflow's installation sheet shows 2.5" piping after the midpipe splits into dual channels again for the exits. Note* 3" clamp at mid pipe and 2.5" clamp at rear split...

I want to know the INTERNAL diameter of the y-pipe, that's ALL i'm interested in really.

If someone can measure this and tell me I'll paypal you $0.10

Thanks
