I have seen several threads where people have replaced the stock mufflers with Magnaflows.

Is there a reason to use the Magnaflow over the Borla or Flowmaster or any other brand?

 

I think it's just the preferred brand. There is also the fact that Spugen use them.

 

Borla has less restriction than Magnaflow.
Borla also has better construction.

 

why use any of them? lol

 

OK I guess it must be because Spugen uses it and everyone knows it works and there is nothing magic that makes it work and none of the others, good.

I had liked the sound and construction of the Borla when I was playing with exhausts on my Miata. I used 4 different combos after changing to a Random Tech Hi Flow cat made the car so loud you couldn't drive it very long without hearing loss. The Borla gave a sports car burble rather than a harsh sound like the Flowmaster and Magnaflow.

I have tried a couple of total exhaust systems on my S but haven't been happy with the sound. I haven't tried the Fujitsubo and someone told me it might give me what I want but I thought I'd start with just a muffler replacement and see what it gets me. If I don't like it either I can always change it out.

Anyone have any sound bites of the Fujitsubo or a Magnaflow muffler conversion?

 

I may have found out why Magnaflow, it's cause you can't find the Borlas as separate mufflers. Every place I called and visited today only could get Borlas as a complete exhaust system.

Anyone with the Magnaflows that will call me and let me listen to their sound?

 

Your findings are completely incorrect.

 

David, I have Magnaflows on mine, but it is a complete 3" exhaust system without a resonator. Also, test pipe is in place for now.

 

Well it seems you can buy the Borlas separate online but I can't find them any place in Dallas. Everyone only has the capacity to order complete systems from the local suppliers.

Fred are you going to be at the Autocross August 27th? I want to hear yours. When you say it is a complete 3" exhaust you mean you bought the Magnaflow system? Oh wait, yours has a turbo which changes the sound quality. Never mind.
