Magnaflow performance

Does anyone have a dyno sheet on the Magnaflow catback, I have it on order through my shop, just want to know what I should expect out of it.

So how exactly is the 3 inch better?
you can have 7-13 with the magnaflow
or
10-9 with the 3 inch

You can have the 3hp, I'll take the 4 torque anyday

11hp top end, vs 1hp-ish, for the Magnaflow... stop looknig at things the way you want them to be, and look at them for how they are... the Magnaflow is showing you the gains at the bottom/middle of the power range, look at the top of it. There's almost no power difference from the stock setup as the RPMs build. Where do you race? From 4500-6500 rpm, or from idle to 4000 rpms? Try reading the charts again, if you want me to show you that the 3" made over 20lbs of tq over stock in the low end... so if you want to talk about largest gains, as opposed to peak gains, the 3" is still better, and it's better in top end... at 5500 rpms, the Magnaflow makes no more than 5hp/tq over stock, where the 3" makes 11hp and 9tq over stock... hmmmm..... in fact, the 3" makes more power over stock, than the 2.5" does, all the way from idle...

next question?

damn sp00ner, regulate!

I took a look at the magnaflow, its like $750. Isn't that kind of expensive.

I'm so sick of this 2.5" vs. 3" arguement. There has NEVER been a dyno, or anything else, to suggest that this car makes more power with a 2.5" exhaust than a 3" one. Some can argue that a 3" dosen't make much more, but everyone of them say "if you put more mods on it..."

Sorry ender, didn't mean to jack your thread... I meant to delete the AA dyno when I saw you already ordered it. I took out some of my previous statements, but forgot to take out the comparing dyno.
