I am interested in getting a magnaflow cat-back exhaust system for my 2000 4-cyl. accord coupe. One of my local shops can install this for 250 bucks. I was interested in getting a dual exhaust conversion though, which costs roughly 200 bucks more. Is it worth is to get the dual exhaust conversion? I know it prob doesnt even add more hp, just for looks. Does the magnaflow exhaust sound different with two mufflers than it would with one?
Which should i get?

 

as for the performance it will decrease torque because there is less backpressure which will feel like the car will lag. it looks pretty good but i havent heard the system so i dont know bout that

 

friend had a dual magnaflow on his ford focus and i thought it was way too loud. I could hear him from a block away, and now, he wants to sell it cause its too loud. He has 2 18" resonators in there on each section, and its still that loud. Jschmid also told me that his magnaflow was obnoctiously loud at fwy speeds when he had the 18" resonator. I wouldnt go for magnaflow, but thas just me. They make good stuff for trucks i think.

 

very nice quality, but loud. same as with thermal r&d since magnaflow makes their mufflers.

 

Oh god I have a Magnaflow Race series muffler with custom mandrel bent piping for the cat back... 2.25 inch. No resonators and its loud as hell. I like it but not everyone else likes loud like I do. My friends hear me coming from blocks away when I go to their house lol. As far as dual its less torque and a lot more expensive so DEFINITELY not worth it just for the look... plus I personally don't like how two massive mufflers look on the back of a car.

My biggest advice... If you think there is any way you can afford a Greddy EVO or something really nice like that... THEN GET IT. There is one main problem with my Magnaflow... For the first 5 minutes of driving or so when my car is warming up... my exhaust pops at high rpms before it shifts... I hate that and its so embarrasing I usually let my car idle for a while before taking off haha. Now I really wish i had spent 450 or so on a EVO rather than this 250 on my Magnaflow.

 

mines not cat back but i have a magnaflow exhaust, i think it sounds great, not too loud. how can you take the resonators out?

 

i also have magnaflow, granted it isnt the race series like one of the previous guys. i think it sounds good, i have 2.5" catback w/ 18" resonator. at highway speeds, its not too bad. if u have the radio on, u can barely hear it.

 

they would need to be cut out and pipe will need to be welded in. don't do it, it will be way too loud.

 

magnaflow bites... i'm sorry... should have kept it stock

 

I almost agree with you 99accord... I am kinda unhappy with mine... like I said, now I wish I had spent the extra cash on an EVO or something nice like that. And the resonator isnt in the muffler on the Magnaflows... its in your piping... I had the option of getting one or not getting one when they made my exhaust piping... with a resonator you have like 1-2 less HP so I told them to leave it off haha. God its so loud. I listen to music very loud and can still hear my exhaust over it. And if you do get one... the race series is a lower and deeper sound than the street series...
