  Great performance sound

  I put this on my 2011 mustang v6 and the sound gave it a new life. Definately has a muscle tone, other cars aren't sure if I have a v8 or v6 under my hood. Great item. Just make sure you understand this is the loud version, the street series is not as loud.

  Great Loud Exhaust!!!!

  I don't know why some people are complaining of drone or this system being loud. It says its the loud, aggressive version and it sounds awesome!!!! It's not raspy either which is why I chose this one and it really changes the tone of the car allowing it to flew its muscle. If you want to be heard and don't mind a loud exhaust version this is the one for you!! The review score doesn't do it justice...this system also fits perfect not sure what the other reviewer is saying and it does cut a good amount of weight out as well.

  Amazing Cat-back

  This system is amazing. It is alot louder then you can tell from any video, and it sounds better then the aftermarket exhaust I had on my old GT! It was easy to instal and fits just right. This system will also cut a good 30-35lbs out of your car.

  The drone is horrible and it rusts worse than any SS exhaust I've ever owned.

  The drone is beyond horrible. It's unbearable between 2200-2900 rpm's. I tried to work with Magnaflow thinking it had to be an issue with the one I got. They were no help and said every aftermarket exhaust is going to drone. Apparently they haven't heard the Borla exhaust I now own....

  Awesome! But...

  First off, this exhaust is awesome! i personally think it sounds better than the Borla ATAK for about half the price. This exhaust is very loud, but not annoying. The fit could have been a bit better, i had my shop guys melt the hangers to center it but took an extra 10min. Got it installed for $95 and when they started it up for the first time, everyone at the shop looked up from what they were doing. Doesn't sound like a V8 but it's as close as you're gonna get with a cat-back. THERE IS a very noticeable drone from ABOUT 2000-2900 rpm but i personally like it. Not raspy at all, very deep though all rpms and sounds fantastic at WOT. if you life in an area where the police are hard a**es (California) when it comes to loudness, try to stay away from this. But if you do buy this you will not be disappointed. Just because it is half the price of Borla does not make it half as good. Looks great too! the polished tips stick out just a bit farther than stock and just look mean! There is a noticeable performance gain. not so much with hp (while there is some of that too), but more so with the decrease in weight. Last thing, if you live in an area with hills, it is quite loud while climbing. Over all, even with drone and slight fitment issues, i would highly recommend this!

  great product

  Very Smooth sound when in higher rpm's, a little more loping when idling or just tapping the gas pedal. looks so so much better than stock exhaust, and gets a lot of compliments. i highly recommend this.

  Perfect sounds

  Install was a quick and easy, fits great. Sound is deep and never raspy at any rpm. Exactly what I was looking for. Bit pricey but you will enjoy every second of it. Must have!

  Fit could be better

  i just put this n my 2011 red candy mustang, and it is a night an day difference in the exhaust note compared to stock. on the down side, install was not as easy as expected. i had to get the right side modified at a shop for a good fit, otherwise the tip was rubbing up on the frame and valence. make sure you have some really high jack stands or a lift.

  WOW!!

  You will hear the difference!! 1st off let me say that this is no doubt a 2 man job. After thinking I could get it done I ended up taking it to a shop. With tax about $120 - not too bad for Jersey prices. The alignment took a little time to get them to hang evenly and once they were aligned properly there is a noticable difference in what is exposed regarding the L/R chrome tips. Driver side sticks out perfect and passenger side is more flush. Besides that there is really nothing I can complain about. The sound is truly a HUGE difference and instantly you can see everyone turning there heads. I couldn't be more pleased in the sound - nice deep tone and screams when you get on it. I set the cruise at 80MPH and you couldn't hear a drone....crank up the rpms a bit and you will get a drone. But everyone complaining about a drone should stick to their stock exhaust so they can ride in peace. I mean if your considering this system you are buying it for one purpose...TO BE LOUD!!! The sound is just something you need to hear for yourself, no video is going to do it justice. One last note....you feel a huge difference in torque and they weigh 1/2 if not a 1/3 of what the stock exhaust was. Rating: LOUD and Awesome!

  There Are Better

  Bad drone in the mid 2000 rpm range and the fit isn't that great. Wish I had gone with another brand.

  Bass boost !

  Removing the old exhaust is easy with some tall (slightly questionable) jack stands and an electric saw! Once out the weight difference is considerable, I got worn out taking the stock mufflers to the dumpster! Putting on the new mufflers and pipes required a little bit of finangling to get in but they fit! The only issue I had was with the tips touching the rear valence. I'll probably have a shop adjust it a little bit but other than that it's got a beautiful sound! 1000-2500 is nice and deep for cruising and I'm case you forget 2600 reminds you you're in America's favorite pony car!

  Son's reaction... awesome!

  So it took about 2-1/2 hours for me to install... I did it while car was on jack stands in the garage, with the help of two teens, after cervical discectomy and fusion surgery three weeks before... so I had to take a few breaks. :) Over all I had more problem getting the old exhaust off then getting the new exhaust on. And my son's reaction to his first start... priceless! One happy 18yo who was was so appreciative afterwards, he thanked me twenty times.

  Magnaflow Competition Catback Exhaust

  Good system and materials (can't go wrong w/SS) however performance gains will certainly vary depending on your setup. Unfortunately I live in CA where smog regulation ruins everything, so really these are only going to change the tone more than anything. It took my local muffler shop about an hour to bolt these up. The only tweaking they had to do was adjust the length on one side, because it was coming up short. They also had to bend the rear hangers because the tips were touching the diffuser. All pretty standard stuff and expected. The sound is great when you get on the throttle and purrs nicely at freeway speed (65mph). My coworkers heard me rev the engine my first day back at work after the install and were full of compliments and curiosity. I still think it sounds like a Subaru, but that's a V6 for ya. Videos on Youtube as well as here on AM are pretty accurate as far as tone.
