Default Exhausting

I won a Magnaflow exhaust system off of eBay about a month ago. When I got it, it was a little dirty, but servicable. I was reluctant to install it because it just seemed like it would be a bit too much for the direction I am taking the car. The round canisters with the big tips angled out just seemed like it would look TOO aggressive.

S2000GT talked me into at least trying it, and I am glad he did. The canisters cleaned up pretty well, and I will be working more on getting the tips cleaned up. Once it's behind the bumper it's not nearly as "in your face" as I thought it would be. The sound is boomy without being "farty." There is no raspy-ness to it at all. It makes a nice sound down low or reving without being in gear, but is easily overtaken by the intake sound with the CAI. There is a small ammount of resonance at cruising RPM, but only if I am on the throttle (even 20% or so.) If I ease up on the throttle a little while cruising it sounds almost stock.

I will see how it is on long trips after the Midwest's Fresh Water Tour in two weeks.

For now here are the pix:

Keep me posted too, since i also have a "similar" setup. Just think of us sebring owners as being a different shade of silver.

I was told it was a Magnaflow, but I am not sure if it is a complete system from them, or something someone cobbled together with Magnaflow parts. It has Magnaflow mufflers, tips and resonator. Just not sure about the piping.

Pete, it looks like you got yourself an old school Spugen Dual with Round Canister exhaust. I have the Single version. I bet it sounds very nice. Mine sounds great except for the obnoxious drone between 2500 and 4200 rpm. Maybe the extra muffler quiets that down a bit.

Yeah, I thought it MIGHT be a Spugen. I wasn't sure, so I didn't want to say it was.

There is SOME droning, but it's not bad at all. I am sure the dual helps over the single.

Thanks
