    when you dump if over/after the axle you get more resonance off the road surface. And less piping after the muffler=louder/better tone.

    IMO...dumping it at the axle is the best option IMO for sound and practicality.

    :confused:

    Doesn't sound stock to me. Sounds pretty good...maybe a better video at higher RPM's would probably be better.

    I would like to see the difference between sound and quality between an clone magnaflow and a real magnaflow.

    IMO, I would have got a real magnaflow. They are made in the USA and have proven quality.

    I hope the exhaust shop you went to didn't push cheap inferior chinese crap on you.

    I KNOW THE SHOP I TOOK IT TO HAS A GREAT REPUTATION FOR EXHAUST AND IS A SMALL FAMILY OWNED BUISNESS IT IS STAINLESS LIKE THE MAGNAFLOW AND I HOPE IT IS MADE IN THE USA, I WILL FIND OUT THE BRAND. AFTER SOME OF THE COMENTS I GOT I THOUGHT ABOUT TAKING IT BACK AND TELLING THEM TO PUT THE FM40 ON IT.

    oh it sounds good...dont get rid of it.

    I would keep it over the Flowmaster (chokemaster).

    Try and find out the brand...maybe its a name brand, just similar to a magna.
