magnaflows w mac longtubes?
 
ok so i started this thread b4 this SPAM bulls***t f***kd it up!! so here it goes again:

I wanted to to go long tubes on my v6 and i love d way magnaflow sounds so i was wondering if this setup of mac long tubes with their mac shorty h pipe and a gt magnaflow cat-back could b done
ive also heard that u can loose to much back pressure if you go with an off-road H pipe.... :confused: is that true?

krenogin 02-18-2009 03:09 PM

im sure it can all be done, idk bout the back pressure.. but all i know is it sounds pretty good.

yea but the guy on d video had flowmaster 40's. i would like to hear the longtubes setup with magnaflows!!

longtube's will just make it louder and deeper :)

Not bashing but it seems like alot of money to spend and alot of trouble for minimal HP gains.I'd just do a O/R X with Magnapacks.

^ +1, although it does sound very good.

K.G.B. 02-18-2009 03:58 PM

so long tubes are not worth it talking performance?

Mr. Zip 02-18-2009 03:59 PM

If you HAVE to replace your headers, go with long tubes. I sure wish I had done that. And you will notice a big sound difference for sure. But the money could go to things that would give you more power/driveability.

krenogin 02-18-2009 06:15 PM

i love the sound of that car. which id say magnaflows do sound better.

spike_africa 02-18-2009 07:50 PM

If you are going to do more mods like nitrous or a blower or head/intake/cam upgrades then long tubes are a must to make good power.

krenogin 02-18-2009 08:13 PM

yeah. definetly, but its really a good sound mod for a 6. if i could go back id take back all my looks things i did just to do that exhaust setup

Teals car made over 300rwhp with just mac long tubes, and H-pipe with dumped magnaflows and an ATI 11psi procharger kit. That thing ran very good. Pulled my car when I was off the bottle. His lighter base v6 > my heavy premium GT.

so what about the back-pressure loss on an nearly stock engine?

Oh the back pressure myths lol. Don't worry about that crap the car will lose some low end power and gain a good margin in the upper rpms.

alrite thanx :D
one more question!! whats the 'dumped' magnaflows u were talkin bout?:confused:

spike_africa 02-27-2009 07:41 AM

Dumps are when you run no tail pipes and have the exhaust dump right down after the mufflers. That setup is called having dumps, and Teal has dumped magnaflow mufflers.
