stock header and cat to straight pipe then hks muffler sounds amazing and is really loud. i was told that many ppl want to race me cuz it sound like its making alot of power when really there is only est 140 hp or so
I scored my Magnaflow off of eBay for $125ish shipped a few years ago... Pow! I've got it hooked up to an FC Shorty & ORP & have a Steeda flex on its way to my house now (all eBay scores as well).
I got a 2.25" Magnaflow Cat-Back, ORP, & 2.25" Bosal Flexpipe. Total parts costed me about $515. Installation costs in total are about $300. All in all, I love my exhaust system. All I need now is a shorty header to finish it off. A strong warning for those who want to go ORP with a Magnaflow... Don't do it unless you want to hear a bee buzzing sound from 3K-4500K RPM. If I knew before I went ORP, I would have never done it. I just got used to it now though.
I'm going to finish ordering the exhaust this weekend. I have the SVT header kit, 2.5" off-road pipe, 2.5" flexpipe.
I'm thinking about the 2.5" Trubendz with resonator and either the Borla or Magnaflow muffler.
Which one do you think would sound better? Don't want the bumble bee or rice sound. I'm kinda leaning toward the Borla since I had a true Borla for my truck a few years ago and I liked it.
well mine is a bit of a long story, lol. I started out with a 2.25" side exhaust with glasspack that I made for $40 plus $30 in labor. Loved the sound of it till I put on my SVT header/cat/flex then it got real loud and raspy. So I bought a magnaflow/w resonator 2.25" for $100 from a guy I know on another forum. I used it for about a year or so and ran into a deal from another guy on the same forum. He was gonna be selling his focus and was wanting to get rid of his borla 2.5" exhaust with resonator for $50 plus a trade of a stocker. I had a friend who wanted an exhaust for his sis's focus since he auto-x's with it. I trade him my magnaflow for his stock +$30 and helping him swap them. Then I went down and made the trade with the other guy. Who I was also selling a battery box to for $10. So I got his 2.5" borla with resonator, and the straight pipe section, for basically $10 (since I got $30 from the other) and some work. lmao. Best deal of the day!!
will soon have a FC ceramic coated ORP for trade of my stock manifold/cat/flex as well. haha
I swapped out my FC Shorty & ORP for a FS 4-1 header to go with my Steeda flex & Magnaflow 2.25" flex-back exhaust (& Crane 2's). Here's a start-up, idle & rev clip:
Well the exhaust is finished. I have the coated SVT header, 2.5" flex, 2.5" ORP, 2.5" Trubendz with Borla muffler and Magnaflow resonator. All SS. Don't have a sound clip yet. If you have to ask the price you can't afford it [8D]
mine sounds great i have focus central race header, bosal 2.25" flex and ford racing borla cat back with custom y pipe and dual tips after the rear axle the second tip really helps to lower the exhaust note at higher rpms and produces just the right amount of crackle when you let off
currently cruising with a magnaflow catback on a stock header/cat/flex. does anyone have a clip of a zetec running full svt exhaust?? i'd like to hear that cuz thats the way i think i'm going to head
Mine's hks w/ long tubes and high flow cats. A little louder than I'd like.. it wouldn't let me vote, for some reason.
