yea magna flow is pretty good. not as good as a flow...but good for a chevette...i would put one on the nove with the six in it but would rather have a flow for the 8

the magna flow is a good exhaust but i agree with Nova that there is nothing really outhere that can beat the performance and sound of Flowmaster

well it sounds like a chevette still just a bit deeper more of a rumble but i'm just glad it doesn't sound like a suped up civic

I am going to have to disagree. For the price, magnaflow is the way to go, but Flows suck. With my exhaust, (Spintech and Dr.Gas) I have already converted 3 former Flowmaster owners and 1 Borla owner.

It all depends on the mods the vehicle has. Some exhaust works better than others but I have seen that for most vehicles with the "normal" mods, I have seen few exhaust systems that could bring the same hp gains.

seeing as how all the pro streeters i know use flows and how theve been in the game the longest im gonna go with them.
could it be that your exhaust is so nice cus of the x pipe? those things help out a lot.

sounds bad ass. All my exhaust systems are mandrel bent. There are some gains, minimal, but to the positve.

well i mean it's a chevette no mods 1.8 the old exhaust had a hole so he was like umm sure y not for an extra like 50 the guy tried to rip him off started at 250 got down to 200 then 160 i drove it (legally ofcourse) u can feel the difference and with the more miles the better the sound gets

it doesn't exactly have the rumble but it is a nice sound deep on acceleration so far it seems good all he got was the muffler the cat will be next ( i think he is actually taking this chevette which started as a winterbeater he may be replacing his winterbeater in the winter with another winterbeater hehe) it has a nice sound it reallly smoothed it out alot too i am really surprised with the difference after 8 hours ont he car.
