I was reading that one of the vendors is having a sale thing on their Magnaflow exhausts. I was going for a Borla but I was wondering if the Magnaflows have the same sound/performance as the Borlas do.

Pretty much the same sound if you go with the Magnapaks....the regular Magnaflow mufflers are much tamer sounding and not "In your face" loud when you mash the gas.

Borlas will generally be "In your face" loud when you mash it, and tame under normal driving...yet still a good bit louder than the general magnaflows under the same circumstances.

So, yes, they are the same if you get the magnaflow magnapaks...

I have a video at home of my 2002 GT idling with the regular magnaflows on it.

I really want the Borlas so I think I'm going to get it. It'll be a while but hopefully it will be worth it.

Oh, I know you talking about the cat-back, but not the stingers just the normal turbo style mufflers. I think that the stingers sound goofy.

I love exhaust threads, everyone has their own opinions. The goofy-ness of stingers is probably why everyone always asks me what exhaust I'm running and say it is the best sounding one they've ever heard.

But, some love SLP's, I think they sound like garbage. Some like chokemasters...I think they sound cheap. Everyone has their opinion which is probably why it's a good thing we each own our own vehicles so we don't have to do what everyone else says sounds good...

Amen to that, PureVenom. Constant compliments on the Borla stingers. I'll +1 to everything else you just said as well.

I have friends with Borla Stringers (Rob, PureVenom, has those as well and they sound really good), a few friends have the MagnaPacks which I loooove, I have the MagnaFlow catback and I love how it sounds.

I would personally go with MagnaFlows over the Borlas, but that's just me. Most of the better quality brands sound really good, it's definitely worth going catback.

Good luck!

Hey, I said I love Borlas, I'm just a MagnaFlow kinda girl.

You know you love your exhaust, and you know I love it on your car.

It's maybe a teeny tiny bit loud for me, but it sounds HOT. And didn't you help pick out my exhaust out??
