    Magnaflow 16601 Installed! / Updates

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I recently installed the Magnaflow 16601 catback exhaust and let me tell you... wow. I immediately noticed a power increase as well as a great deep throaty sound. I've had various docs at the hospital where I work tell me that it sounds like a big V6 / or even a v8 when I pull out of the parking lot.

    I was in the market looking for a system for quite some time, and I am VERY happy with the results of Magnaflow.

    So as of now my installed updates are:
    APR Stage 1+
    TT 225 Injectors
    Rikensport HID 7000K Xeons
    Kicker amp/sub setup (1 L7 and 1 500Watt mono amp)
    Magnaflow 16601 Catback System

    btw - Audi A4 2004 1.8T Quattro Premium sport 6spd.

    I've ran my car on the Stage 1+ APR and injectors without a catback for almost a year and let me tell you.. after installing this catback.. wow.


    Any suggestions on next modifications? Brand of DV? Snubs?

    get yourself a forge 007. i have it and love it. alot of people use it on here too...

    i'd get a boost gauge if you dont already have one. you can get a decent setup for around 80-100 on a few websites.

    Nah, not yet. It sounds different than on the website however.. It's a little quieter.

    Mine got louder over a 2 week period. I don't know that I noticed any power increase, and it isn't really a catback system. With that said, I love the sound of the 16601's, i don't get why everyone recommends the 14875's or whatever they are. The 16601's are not raspy or rice burnerish at all. They are very deep and are exactly what I was looking for in the sound. I also love the large rolled exhaust tips.

    Don't mean to thread jack but how does that amp/sub setup sound? I was thinking on getting that exact setup myself. And factory radio or aftermarket?

    Excellent man. I've had it installed in my B5 and I just moved it over to the B6. It's just enough. It's the 2004 series I believe. I bought it off ebay refurbished.

    I've had a bunch of setups in the past, and kicker is definitely my favorite.

    I have the factory radio still installed. Also have the Dension ICE ipod hookup.

    yeah I've always loved the kickers especially the L5 when they first came out... but hopefully I'll get the L7 soon

    I have a 2008 l7 kicker sub and kicker amp with a DIY fibre glass enclosure from a4mods running off the factory amp and deck and I have to say Iā€™m more then impressed. It sounds amazing and was a breeze to install. All I had to do was run the power cable and link off the existing wiring from the stock amp. I use to have 2 12ā€ pioneer subs and this one 10ā€ sounds cleaner and louder.

    You can also get the sub off Ebay for pretty cheep :D
