Yeah, but I don't know how to copy from a video recorder to the PC... don't really know if my machine would be all that capable of doing that...
If someone's in the CHI area & would like to help get this up I'd meet 'em for a little down pipe testing action!!!

I just had the DP installed with a custom cat back, magnaflow muffler.
DOWNSIDE:
THIS SOUNDS LINE FU##ING SH*T! Not only does it sound bad, it SO LOUD. I am TOTALY embarrased and I can't imagine that anyone of you guys could like this. I now have an UBER rice rocket. I guess I should have known that it was going to sound bad, but everyone on EVOM say: "magnaflow is so deep" YEAH right. I honnestly have a loud buzzing, like those bad hondas.

UPDISE:

Power, I have to give it to RRM, this DP makes the car RIP. I went with a 2.25 cat back and I did not feel any loss down low. It really pulls hard all the way through the gears.

CONCLUSION:
If you are considering this, PLS buy a high flow cat and a resonator along with your choice of muffler. This is a must for your ears and people arround you. LOUD is an under statement. If your looking to use this on the track only, go strait pipe.

Now that I have vented, I'm off to buy a high flow cat and resonator. I hope that the MAgnaflow becomes a little deeper as this it way too much for me...DP is great....get the rest to dampen the sound

i'll say it again: Magnaflow has been around a long time and they have sold a lot of mufflers. And their mufflers are $80. So, you are getting an $80 muffler. Dont expect it to sound like a $300 muffler. They aren't as bad as some of the $25 coffee can mufflers, but its still an $80 muffler.

RRM said they were going for performance (IE: power). if you are interested in anything other than power (IE: sound), you might be disapointed. the truth is that almost every ralliart out there is a daily driven street car. thats not what they had in mind when making the dp. and as a performance shop, therse nothing wrong /w that

F-ed up Honda may be pushing it in my opinion...
I don't really think it's ricey... It's louder than just the Magnaflow... but not so much that I can't hear my radio, or talk on my cell phone in my car...

I've heard many people make it seem like people are going to think the apocalypse is upon us when I drive up... it's not that bad!!!

mojambo: Does your custom catback already have a resonator in it or not?

All I;m saying is that many people on here think that the magnaflow is deep. DUDE! you gotta be kidding me. This aint deep. I'm really not down with this. I like the sound of the intake and ITS all gone..lol

Blkmajik: I know what you mean, you get what you pay for. but everyone says magnaflow is deep. it sure isn't on this setup.

I just went on what everyone else was saying about magnaflow. resonator and high flow ASAP

What people have said about Magnaflow I don't think include the downpipe on the veh in their assesment...
Down pipe makes a HUGE difference in the sound of our exhaust systems!!!

I have a Civic with an Edelbrock turbo kit and custom exhaust that uses a Magnaflow muffler, when the turbo crapped itself, I took it off to replace it, i just ran the stock exhaust manifold and let me tell you that the magnaflow sounds like straight crap without the turbo on it. When the turbo was installed it sounded deep and mean as hell. I guess this would explain why the EVO guys like it so much. I personally wouldn't use the magnaflow on my RA until I boost it....SOON!

What magnaflow muffler did you get? they all have different tones, I have the one from RRM and it is definately deep, at low RPM's it will set of car alarms in parking lots because of the bass tone of it. If there is any raspiness or bumble bee noises it's probably from the downpipe and not the magnaflow.

I've had the Magnaflow from RRM for a while now and I set off car alarms, especially when going through parking decks. The deep sound from the exhaust does it all the time. I think it kicks *** and I hate that raspy, ricer sound from HONDAS.
