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 don’t 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!

damn
those are huge tips
they look great

 

Fills in the gaps nicely.

 

sweet one! :D

 

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

 

how about a sound clip or two. thanks

 

Yeah, I want to see what the set up looks like. I've got a good idea but, a picture is worth a thousand words. I also like those tips! I wonder if they are spot welded like the stock RX-8 tips are. When I was putting on the exhaust finishers I took a look at the stock tips and was a little disapointed they weren't removable.

 

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

 

Good deal looks awsome! Should sound really nice too.

 

nice, any word on the Titanium single tip?

 

i've had magnaflow's put on my other car...so one of my buddies...his was places so that u can't see the tip out so well...i had my exhaust out a lil bit more..with the same concern that it would melt my bumper....well...i had mine out for about 2 years with no problem...my buddy on the other hand....his back bumper melted a bit......

 

LiquidChick, ouch for your buddy! Glad yours is doing alright! My tips you can see well it sticks out far enough where I dont think any melting will happen. So far it hasnt gotten anything hot on the bumper. Ill keep checking after my long drives too But the engineering guy was damn sure id be alright and he knew his stuff

 

it "WAS" doing alright...i hit a 450-500 lb black bear and totalled the car...:o that's how i got my rx-8 :p

 

LiquidChick, ouch who got hurt more you or the bear?

Alright im trying to get audio of the exhaust hopefully middle of this week Ill have something decent but all my recording devices (little to none) suck at input!

 

hmmm well..the bear died...and no one knows how i'm alive...i still get the "hey yogi..i think i'm bleeding" jokes....i have pics..but i'm afraid if i post em...they'll be too big...

 

nice exhaust system... sorry if its been asked but whats the price?

 

What happened to the Magnaflow titanium exhaust for the RX8? I'd reccomend waiting for that before I bought their 400 series exhaust.

 

oxnard, nice

 

zoom-zoom brought his car into our dealership so I had the chance to see and hear the Magnaflow exhaust in person. I like it. It looks great the size of the tips are perfect. It is not a loud noise at idle either which is nice and it has a very nice growl at higher loads. I am going to look more into it when it comes available.
