    Yes, 24". Could not tell you the part #. Don't know.


    No loss of power. It's a 4 banger with a stick. I wasn't looking for performance. It does what I need it to.

    I didn't think so. Not when most muffler shops are going to slap on a 14". This 24" sounded good. It's one of my choices when I finally decide if I'm going to do an exhaust or not...:rolleyes:

    just depends on YOUR interpretation of "ricey". It's only a video from a camera posted 2 feet from it. In person it's a bit different. Must take anything on internet with a grain of salt and realize there are other variables in play and must be taken into account.

    It's pretty quiet compared to fartcan ricers, and no where near obnoxious.

    Well today I had them throw in an 18" glasspack in front of the Magnaflow. Sounds MUCH better. No more drone and doesn't sound like a motorboat when accelerating.

    Probablly could have gotten by with a 15" but I'm happy now. After a few thousand miles, it will gradually get louder anyway.

    You really need to make a friend with a camera so you can post up a clip! I really want to hear it.

    Flowmasters lost power.. Magnaflow showed small gains, but barley outside the error margin of the dyno.

    i did notice that lc engineering came out with a new cat-back for the 2.7, but the whole system isnt necessary.

    I don't reccomend putting 14" magnaflow on your 2.7l exhaust. I did it and hated it. It was dronning in the cab on the freeway. Too loud for me, espcially when i used to own a integra with a lot of mods on it.

    I replaced the magnaflow with a dynomax muffler and it was a whole lot better.

    Your first post in 2 years? I could never stay quiet that long.

    I should go measure the Magnaflow they put in mine. It is about the size and dimensions as a 3.5"-4" thick phonebook, so it's probablly a 14" like what you had.

    It was def too loud. Droned as well. The 18" glasspack I had them add made a world of difference. A 15" glasspack might have worked out good too but at least the glasspacks get louder when they get older. That way as I get use to it and start thinking it's not loud enough, it will get louder on it's own.

    thats because of the construction of the muffler, Mine doesn't drone @ all.

    23" CherryBomb glass pack, that we custom piped and then filled with Fuel and burned the fiberglass out.

    I put the 24" Magnaflow on my truck today and its sounds awesome. You can defiantly tell its a 4clyd now. At idle you cannot tell its there but once you get on it it has a nice rumble.
