I got my exhaust installed yesterday and it sounds pretty good. It is louder then stock, but not obnoxious. I know "normal" muffler's have a slight break in period to burn off the oils inside (god that smell smells like *****), and it seems that everytime i drive it it get slightly louder. I think i have only put on between 50-75 miles on it since the install and i can still smell that sh*it burning off. Reminds me of that rotten egg smell u get with new cats. It took 3 days for that damn smell to go away when i had my GTA (rip). It is louder tho since when i first started it up yesterday at the shop.
so right now, here is where it is at for anyone else looking into Magnaflow:

- idle is a lil louder then stock
- cruzing is def louder, i notice it more
- full throttle is louder then stock. Ppl will know you are there.
- Interior sound isn't much louder then stock. Which is good b/c i didint want a "drone" in the cab. But, you DO notice there is an aftermarket system on. My other one was quiet at highway speeds.

The "sound" is that mellow rumble. no raspy-ness at all. which is what i was worried about (IMO SLP loudmouth had that when you rev'd it.) My GTA had an 80 series on it and this sounds kinda like that. For someone who doesn't have $1K+ to spend, this is a great choice! Just a much better sound.

I figure i have maybe >100 miles left on "break-in" (i hope, b/c that smell irratates me). So i'm expecting a slight increase in sound, but not much.

Well, i hope this helps someone who is thinking about Magnaflow. I say go for it, you can't beat the price.
