Magnaflow exhaust

02WRXbugeye · 10-13-2009, 09:58 PM

I have a 06 wrx and A local Muffler shop said they could set me up with a turbo back setup, 3in all the way back with a magnaflow exhaust for 350... is that a good deal? and has anyone heard magnaflow on an wrx? I have looked up some vids on youtube but sound quality is so bad for the most part you cant really hear very good.

Make sure it's a bellmouth downpipe. You don't actually want a 3" pipe all the way back, you want it considerably wider where it attaches to the turbo.

Ok, I dont know much about exhaust systems but he said it was Almost a turbo back setup.... not really sure what that means but I was like does it go from turbo back? and he said close to it.

Sounds like not a turbo back at all but a cat back.

Ya it seemed weird to me when he said that. Is that a good deal if its catback?

That price sounds halfway decent. Try Googling "WRX cat back" or something similar and see what kind of prices you come up with. For what it's worth, I spent about seven hundred bucks on my HKS Hi-Power Carbon-Ti cat back and I don't really regret it too much. Even though it's getting a little beat up from daily driving abuse year round, I still love the sound and the look of it.
