Magnaflow Performance Exhaust RX-8
Magnaflow Performance Exhaust RX-8
Picked up my car this morning from the Magnaflow Performance Exhaust facility to find a nice new exhaust system on my car. The car was used for prototyping their exhaust and everything turned out great. Included are a few pictures I took of the car after the exhaust was installed. The sound is very nice and rumbles perfectly and the look of the exhaust is sharp. I dont have dyno sheets for the car yet, they should be up in a few weeks but looking at the charts for my A/T RX-8 we saw about 6 wheel HP @ peak and 3lb-ft of torque additional over stock.
More about the RX8 exhaust, it features a 100% Stainless Steel construction. Fast flowing 2.5" mandrel bent polished 400 series Stainless Steel tube, dual 4x9x14" polished 400 series Stainless Steel mufflers, and two double wall 4" polished 300 series Stainless Steel tips. The vehicle has a very distinct but not disruptive exhaust note (characteristic of most Magnaflow mufflers) while marinating very comfortable drivable interior sound level.
The larger photos follow, I will post additional pictures in the daylight and outdoors shortly.
Hope everyone enjoys!

From these pictures, it looks just like the Borla. Do you have a shot of the muffler can(s) themselves? Thanks...

Ive seen the borla and the one thing this exhaust does not have is those little rolled up edges that collect crud at the tip of the exhaust which is a very nice bonus.
The only concern i have is since the tips are huge. Will they melt the sorrounding plastic? I would think they would especially if one gets canzoomered. That would not be good IMHO.
The design of the tip looks clean and very nice, much much much better than the magnaflow rsx exhaust.
If no plastic is melted i give em 2 snaps up in a z formation :D

zerohour the tips are far enough out that it shouldnt melt anything above it. I asked about something else and they said the tips were the way they were so it wouldnt melt the plastic.
Mangaflow puts sound files and video clips on their site of the exhaust systems. I'll see if I can get a hold of some sound clips, but it may be a few weeks
