Magnaflow titanium exhuast anyone got?

***flat4t*** · 11-15-2006, 05:01 PM

I was wondering if anyone has the magnaflow titanium exhaust and what are your thoughts about it?...Also sound clips or vids would be cool

psuLemon · 11-15-2006, 05:46 PM

I dont have it, but would like to know about this exhaust too.

***JDM-STI*** · 11-15-2006, 06:20 PM

I have it and love it. Wouldn't trade it for anything else out there. Top notch in every way. But good luck finding one these days.

It is made by JIC and it is not a full 3" from what I heard.

I have one and I love it as well. Sounds great and it's really light! I have the resonated version btw

I have one and so does my friend with his Forester XT.
I love it- perfect fit, perfect sound, and inexpensive for a full Ti setup.

DO NOT purchase a ^resonated version^... needless to say I boxed this one right up and requested a non-resonated version shortly after receiving it. That pipe inside the resonator is a mere 2" in diameter, 5" long, and is welded inside the resonator canister opposing to the exhaust flow, which makes it 10x worse. Magnaflow admitted afterwards that the resonated version was NOT designed for use with the STI and that their website failed to show this.

Got one mated to a Helix catted DP. It's loud even with the silencer on. I hear they don't make this piece anymore. Glad I got my hands on one.

This is true I read in another tread that the part where it bolts up to the cat reduces down to 2.5" there is alway a remedy to this just have fixed at a good exhaust shop. Also there are some I've found on ebay that are going for between 600 and 700 dollars. I would really love to hear what this set up sounds like, I know this setup looks great very good quality for the price, But your right about trying to find it, One thing I was wondering was what kind of flange type is it, and will it have a problem bolting to and aftermarket down pipe? Thanks for your info Kevin

***flat4t*** · 11-16-2006, 12:37 PM

I just ordered it w/o the resonator from autopartswarehouse.com for $609 shipped. I couldn't wait anymore

***flat4t*** · 11-16-2006, 12:45 PM

byw you need to call them to get the best price when/and if you do make sure you have the web page up/ or write down the part number to tell them(there a little slow)...:^

I hope your local exhaust/muffler shop can weld titanium, but there definitely is a 2.5" taper.

also, do you know how much does it weigh? The soul purpose of going titanium exhaust is to lose weight

***flat4t*** · 11-16-2006, 01:27 PM

Thats not a problem a good friend of mine owns a welding company. That problems not the biggest thing to worry about. What is, is when my wife gets home and I tell how much I spent thats more on my mind

The full Ti Magnaflow catback weighs 12lbs, which is 20lbs lighter than the stock catback.

The 2.5" taper hasn't hurt my car as far as I can tell with the stock VF39 and pump gas- it's best run is a 12.39 @ 111.2mph with it.

***flat4t*** · 11-16-2006, 01:28 PM

now the taper is only where the cat bolts up?

Stee · 11-16-2006, 01:31 PM

^Yes. It's unfortunate, but it's there to properly mate to a stock DP and some aftermarket DPs.
