I need your sage advice. When I put the Magnaflow 14829 on my 300 the car seemed to perform better based on the butt dyno and the major improvement seemed to be throttle response.

The sound was nice but the increased driveability was nicer. I'm not sure which really made the difference, the extra 5 hp or an actual increase in throttle response due to improved flow.

Anyway, I love the extra power in my 330 but throttle response is typically lagging and I would install the 14829 in a minute if it would cut response time. I know the 330 has an electronic throttle and my question is do you think I would see any better response on my 330?

I looked at throttle controllers but the only one I could find for the 330 was over 500 bucks and has to be dialed in each time you drive the car.

I found your superb post from 2007. No one has put a Magnaflow on a 2gen yet?

14829 is on the way!

I think some people have put them on but can't remember the posts.

Don't worry about whether there is an electronic throttle or not...a good muffler is always a plus.
