wckdgt · Dec 29, 2011

i have to get a new cat back and im so tired of the drone from my off-road h, flowmasters w turndowns and im really thinking about getting the magnapack cat back system. how does everybody like them and do you have any sound clips.

thanks

I've got them on my 95 and really like them. I've had them with a catted x, o/r x, and o/r h and I would say they sound best with the o/r x.

I have catted x with magnapacks. I have pipes to take my cats out and run an off road x, but I'm sure you will still get a drone.

I have them on my 95 GT...with stock cats & they are perfect! A super nice deep rumble at idle & really loud at WOT!!!! Hear you for blocks but sounds oh so sweet! Gives you that muscle car tone inside at all times but you can still hold a nice conversation going down the freeway! Only while at full throttle does it drown out your companion (nice to do at times! hehe...) I don't consider it a drone at tip in on the throttle at speed because the tone is deep & not tiring or the least bit objectionable...I'll try & get a sound clip on my camera soon for you. I have had many many people chase me down to compliment the Magnapacks! So first try with stock cats & see how it is the buy the midpipe of your choice if you are not satisfied! Might save a couple bucks.

My stock mid pipe has 6 cats, when I had the flows put on I had to get under the car make sure they were actually on there. It was way to quiet.

I couldn't believe how many cats there are on the stock pipe. When I first bought my car, it was quieter than my mom's Volvo.

When I had my Xpipe I had them cut the cats off the OEM pipe and stopped at the salvage yard on my way home, got $75 ea for them which covered a huge chunk of the money I paid for the Xpipe itself

Mine has 4 cats & with Magnapacks it is NOT quiet! LOL...turns heads when I fire it up...

96-98 has 6 cats

anybody have a sound clip of a 2V w o/r h or x w magna packs

Magnaflow/packs will be a 1000 times better than Blowmaster anything. I ditched the stock manifolds, custom H pipe and flowmaster American Thunder catback for a set of American Racing longtubes, catted X and Magnaflow catback without tails and I am very pleased with the sound.

I have them on my 97GT with the stock headers and mid pipe. It sounds awesome at WOT

^^ sounds good w the stock mid pipe but thats a little to quiet for me

You want to run cats with magnapacks. I had them on my 94 Cobra with an off road H pipe and it was just insane. You could not have a conversation in the car with the windows up. I put a catted X pipe on it and it was the best sounding exhaust Ive ever heard.

Trust me it gets old really quick. It sounds good for awhile then its just annoying. I'll never go w/out cats again. The amount of power you lose is so little that it does not matter (besides the factory 4 and 6 cats)
