interest for custom magnaflow......

[benchracer01]

i am in contact with Magnaflow and I am trying to judge interest in the below.

who lives close to the Magnaflow facility in Ca. that would be willing to leave their car with magnaflow for at least a week that is stock or nearly stock. (makes it easier to do mock up)

second
how many of you would like to own a magnaflow exhaust cat back system and would buy it if they go through with it. (size tbd 2.25 or 3.0)

need a serious head count here no i woulds or if only etc.

no plans are final yet no orders are being taken this is only testing the waters.

as long as I have time till its $$ time (just moved and started new job) im in, what are the exhuast going to be made of? what muffler will be on it? cost?

[sfd]

is size tbd meaning we'd have to decide between 3inch OR 2.25 (meaning they'd only make one size)? so basically we either get an oversized N/A application or an oversized turbo application? (i say oversized because 2inch is optimal on N/A until you get past timing/intake/header and 2.5inch is pretty good for turbo until you get past a stock gtx turbo/engine)

whatever it actually is, i think the interest would there..until a price was determined. thats when you'll really find out interest.

if only i have money T_T

I knew somebody would say that. Haha.

I say go with 2.5in piping. I'd be interested if it was a complete header back setup. What muffler would they use? My personal preference would be a twin tip so it would look kinda like the stock muffler. Keep us posted on what their plans would be.

ahh man, i'd be game for a turbo back 3inch exhaust (which is not oversized BTW!) But i have an mx-3 so im guessing the exhaust is almost the same but longer on the pro. Keep us posted. Peace

Ask them about 2.5" SS GTX exhausts.

I like Magnaflow. I'd be down.

We definitely need more details though.

[escortkid]

interesting but will be more expensive than doing a custom setup...

[Jho]

Yeah, any idea on the cost yet?

I tried to get Magnaflow to mass produce cat backs in 2-1/2" 3 or 4 years ago for the Civics and Integras and they didn't feel there was enough demand. THey also had a 2-1/4" system out and they didn't think 2-1/2" was needed. So, I'd be very very surprised if this went anywhere.

benchracer01, not to dampen what you're trying to do, but here is an *already available* option for our cars that it seems nobody knows about and/or thinks will work (ZX2 is newer version of our chassis):

I ordered the 2.5" tubing kit back in the spring - haven't installed it yet, but it nearly exactly matched the Pacesetter catback I pulled off my car. I'm expecting some *minor* customizing - but it might as well be an exact match.

Stainless or aluminized, variety of sizes, good/excellent prices, and excellent customer service. They were great to deal with.

Good thinking, thanks.

While i appreciate efforts to find other sources of exhaust pieces for our chassis I was looking to Magnaflow for a dedicated BG chassis exhaust system that will bolt right in. with a cat back system the mx3 and 323 would only need to shorten at the cat end. I will contact them and suggest 2.5" with their round muffler and a dual outlet tip.

oh btw ScOrTGtC you so funny i was waiting for someone to say it. you win the prize and honor of doing it first lol

2.5inch? so you're just shooting for mild turbo guys?
