    Question CBE system upgrade

    i know many of u guys have an aftermarket catback exhaust (CBE) system. Which one do u think sounds the best? Magnaflow, Borla, Corksport, the MS3 exhaust, or another? I can probably get a deal on the Magnaflow but I dont wanna get it if it wont be much louder than stock. I'm looking for a nice deep sound without the raspy-ness and I want it to be noticeable. I don't wanna remove the cat since it might cause CELs but I will get rid of the resonator if that helps. Also, would getting a whole CBE be neccessary or can I just get a down/straight pipe for the stock system? Any suggestions??

    Ive got a custom CBE from Solo Performance here in Mississauga and highly recommend it. Sounds very nice IMO
    Borla, Magnaflow, stock MS3 will also sound good too....anything is better than the stock one :p

    If you're considering Magnaflow CBE, it sounds best with a cai. An alternative is racing beat if you want something more quiet...

    I would of went with the racing beat... mature and quiet until you push it! but Magnaflow seems to be the most popular choice.

    nothing too drastic really, the car seems a little more peppy than before at times. I think my acceleration off the line may be a bit better but it has always been decent. I havent noticed any drop in fuel economy and I love the sound so I'm happy overall. I wasn't looking for too much of a performance boost. If you want some real performance gains you can get a straight pipe and header. That will give u zoom but at the cost of fuel efficiency and will also make it hard to pass emissions.

    Nice. Is this what you got: http://www.magnadirect.ca/product/16786

    Is that price good? Did you bring it to a local mechanic for the install?

    How could anyone say that Magnaflow is like Ractive. Worst comparison I have ever heard.

    Magnaflow makes a very high quality product.
