Default Magnaflow exhaust video

Okay, I was bored today and made an exhaust video so that you'd get a better idea about how they sound on the SC400. If you're not removing the midmufflers, they will be substantially quieter than this. I'm going to eventually have the all the pipes redone to enhance the exhaust flow. I'm playing with the idea of true dual exhaust too, but from what I hear so far, it's not smog legal in CA .

Thumbs up


That was absolute gold mate - top stuff!
I really enjoyed that - as someone who has tried the odd video, I really appreciated it - keep up the good work! That sort of stuff is great - you are a DieHard!

Sometimes you want to be the camera man and the throttle pusher - but you can't do both can you? Looks like you got your girlfriend to blip the throttle - I got Andrew to do the video work on mine - it's a laugh giving it a go.

Here is the similar vid I tried to make with my brother (others including sound files on my site).

excerpt (from The Battered Sav):
"mpeg of me giving it heaps. (793 kb) The idle is still nice and quiet. Being a movie producer you try to give specific instructions to the film crew (that's Andrew my brother) about how you want the shot framed. Ooh no, he wants his new Falcon in the shot and my Australian safety boots! It's so hard to get good help..... "

Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers, full dual, x-pipe, big cats, 2.5 inch, standard headers.

I think this is something we should all give a go!
I'll look forward to more.

best regards

Very very nice , from the way that people talk about the magnaflows i thought they would sound alot quiter. That def. sounds MUCH better and deeper than stock. If we got a group buy goin in a month or two,, i think that you could count me in! Great job though,, i really like both videos.

WOW! Definitely sounds great. That is a sound I will be looking for when I upgrade the exhaust system. I definitely do NOT want the ratty sound of a couple of fart cans, and the Magnaflow setup is not even close to something like that.

Thanks for posting the vid!

Thanks everyone. Pete, next time I will be the one at the driver's seat and not the useless camera person. I'll probably do a drive-by, a burn-out, and a cabin video to give a better idea on what they sound like. They actually sound much, much better from the inside of the car, IMO. And they sound a tad bit deeper and meatier when the tranny is actually engaged .

Sounds sweet. Mine is a little quieter and deeper sounding. I have to find some space to post the video I did!

You're right about it sounding better inside the car. The deep bass rumble sounds sooooo good. I had a female tell me she was getting wet just listening to it.

Congrats!

Hey Lex,

Just so I'm clear on this...What was the exact model number of the Magnaflows?


And you had the middle (lower) muffler removed as well?


Thanks..


P.S. More video of your girl please.....<jk>
