    Magnaflow/Thermal exhaust

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So Thermal uses Magnaflow mufflers, and Thermal exhaust systems give pretty nice whp increases, so...

    What if I were to just get Magnaflow mufflers- would this give the same increases that Thermal does, or are Thermals increases because of the larger sized piping?

    What Magnaflow mufflers does Thermal use for the

    a) street version
    and
    b) race version?

    i got magnaflow mufflers with custom piping ... and magnaflow resonators and it sounds awesome ...

    honestly, you could recreate custom setup just like thermal, but im sure whoever makes it cant do the piping just like thermal unless you had a thermal sitting there for him to replicate

    How would the magnaflows sound with the stock piping?
    woud it sound similar but quieter?

    Listen to Bugzy, the setup sounds awesome. I have heard it in person. Wonder what the hp increases are though.
