oh, didnt know that, i havent really looked into exhaust stuff much for the ti

John318ti 07-22-2008 12:58 AM

So tiFreak do you know any other companies that make a good sounding exhaust for the ti? i'd rather just get something new and not have to worry about shipping a used one...

tiFreak 07-22-2008 02:41 AM

sorry, I haven't looked at exhausts to much, I'm thinking of just buying a generic muffler myself, the full cat-backs are way too expensive for a recent high-school graduates budget :frown:

John318ti 07-22-2008 03:52 AM

OHHHH!!!! haha i know how that goes i just graduated this year so i know how you feel i only got the car cause it was a steal but i've looked at some cat back systems that were like $699 and there is no way in hell i can afford those

Go to a reputable exhaust shop and have them do up a custom 'cat back' system. Most(all) should carry Magnaflow and alot will carry Borla mufflers. Borla is generally regarded as the higher end company. Either one should offer a good sound at a much more reasonable budget. I wouldnt pay much more than $250 installed for either of these.

Ok i'll have to look into and price a few of those! Do you have any preference as far as Borla/Magnaflow go? Any possible way you can describe the sound of each or the difference between the two?

b-rad 07-22-2008 05:57 AM

Im going to be doing this soon, and will probaly stick to Borla. Again, they're the 'better' brand and they sponsor alot of high end race teams. I mostly do trucks and 4x4, but in my experience Borla is a crisper, richer tone, but not as loud as Magnaflow. Either one sounds better than A: Fart cans from Pep Boys B: Flowmaster. Flowmaster is just loud and sounds raspy on anything with less than 3.5l motor. You will prob pay more for a Borla.

Your best bet is to ask around, find a good shop and see what they/their customers have had good luck with!:smile:

HAHA LMAO :biggrin: ok thanks i'll probably look into the Borla then i want something that will sound great, last, and not become annoying like the glass packs i had on my Ford (86 F-250 XLT with a 7.5L 460 SOOOO damn loud)

John318ti 07-22-2008 06:16 AM

oh those were 12" glasspacks by the way

I'm gonna eventually get my exhaust put on...removed cat, magnaflow resonator, magnaflow oval muffler.

P.S. Check my sig for 6 1/2" speakers in the rear mounts. They do fit with slight modification. and they are 5 1/4" speakers in the front.

John318ti 07-31-2008 04:48 AM

ohhh... dammit i just bought and installed infinity speakers... 4 rear 5 and a quarter front that sucks that i could have put 6 1/2 in

Flametail 07-31-2008 05:21 AM

I had a spare set and got bored one day because my old ones were SHOT.

sokat1989 09-13-2008 02:31 AM

I happen to like the sound of this exhaust quite a bit but i'm in favor of the generic custom catback with universal mufflers. I'm a magnaflow guy myself mostly because i cant afford borla, i mean i can but to me the difference is not that big.
