QUOTE(malecrod @ Aug 25, 2006 - 11:27 PM) [snapback]472999[/snapback] Well well well, I had my new exhaust done today by HPR customs. it is a 2.5" mandrel bend pipe, magnaflow hi-flow cat and magnaflow muffler and over the axle. I originally wanted the 3" but the installer said there will be problem with clearance going over the axle, so...well. I'm happy to say that my boost gauge did read a tad over 9psi when I took it for a drive. Overall I'm very happy with the exhaust work except for the extra decibels from the magnaflow muffler. Now I'm thinking silencer? Maybe time will tell, I may get used to it. Eli i have a theory why some people get a magnaflow and think its quiet, while others get one and think its too loud. when you look at your exhaust, does the tip stick out past the bumper a good bit, or is it flush with the bumper? if its flush, youll hear it more in the car, but if it sticks out past it then you wont hear it as much. at least thats my theory. let me know how yours is. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

Yes it is flushed with the bumper with a 4" tip and it has a deep tone to it. I don't know which model or # it is but I will try to snap pic later. -------------------- 3sgteing.
