Powerful.
Inexpensive.

That's what you're looking for Joseph.

Yeah I should probably just ignore the headaches on weekend trips since I don't drive it every day.

any body heard any good combos with magnaflow? i've got a full mac setup on her now w/a prochamber but i'm lookin for somthing a lil more exotic sounding.. jus going off my previous experiances, I loved the magnaflo/ OR/H setup on my 94. nice an quiet on startup/idle/tooling around.. a lil *vroom to the sound.. but MAN, she screamed like a banshee at WOT..

lookin for the same effect on the mod motor..

On a 4.6, Magnaflows sound good with X pipes, otherwise they sound kinda like a dump truck at low RPMs.

As loud as his car is, I wouldn't want to crank it in a residential area late at night or early in the morning.

I do feel a little awkward when I drive it to work, then come home at 3:30 - 4:00 AM. I know it has to wake people up, and I drive it really easy near the apartment complex.

Someone on SVTP had a good idea. Borla makes a quieter catback - and the only difference is the mufflers. So ideally I could find someone with that catback who wants something louder and swap muffler sections with them. I've emailed Borla trying to find out which muffler they use in that catback before I make that trade with anyone.
