hi everbody,

i'm new here and i need your knowledge, because it seems like anybody has installed a magnaflow oval muffler in austria or germany...

does anybody know something about the sound of these mufflers?
louder, deeper tone, more silent than the round ones?

best regards,
mike

i know that honda-tech is a great place to learn ;-)

the problem is that in austria you can hardly modify your car, especially your exhaust system without being illegal..

but thanks for you help, btw nice car!

 

thanx its coming along

 

I have an oval magnaflow with custom 2.25" piping with a resonator with a 95 gsr motor. Sounds great. Nice deep tone. Looks stock too

 

i have one, its really deep and nice sounding, but its loud. i believe they are straight thru. i love it because here, its not about how loud your exhaust is, its about what it looks like(hence getting pulled over for a huge can). these look stock

 

I have a magnaflow oval on my car with 2 inch piping. Overall I like the sound not too loud with a pretty good tone. My only complaint is a little bit of rasp around 3500 rpm. If you want me to take a video of it send me a pm.

 

I just recently bought my EK with a MagnaFlow on it and that **** is super loud. Even thought it's a turbo exhaust I would never thought it to be this loud.

Would seriously like to put a silencer in it one day to silent that biatch out a bit.

When you get the muffler installed ask the muffler shop if they can rig it on your you car to hear what it sounds like with the muffler then silencer + muffler.

Some shops will do that.

You need a resonater on that thing. The thing about magnaflows is that for the most part they are all straight through desing which is great for power but a little rough on the ears. I always reccomend a resonater whenever someone purchases a muffler.

 

wow, thanks for all answers...

seems like the oval mufflers are louder than the round cans?

did not think so, thought it would be the other way round...

 

I have an oval. Its loud as ****!!! Not raspy but loud

I'll get a video of it later, I'll shoot off the 2-step too

 

a video would be cool...

does anyone have pics too?

 

i have a magnaflow oval on my hatch, and it isnt that loud at all. you can hear it, but not anything you cant easily talk over. i had a universal grapefruit shooter muffler for a little while, and it was louder than my magnaflow. nice deep sound, but not loud or raspy. i have a resonator on mine and it sounds great.

and here is a pic, i painted mine black...

 

ES Tuning Muffler FTW. You can have it polished or black.

 

i like the sound of the muffler it sounds alil more agressive than the es oval

 

Here is a link to a video of my exhaust.

I think the volume is just right, not noticable at idle or normal driving and a good volume at WOT and during spirited driving. However I hate the tone. Above about 3500 rpm it is raspy. It wasn't like that when it was first installed, but the tone started to change about a month after I got it. I don't know if that is common or if anyone has heard of that happening. I should probably get a resonator, and I probably will but I don't want to lose too much volume. Anyway enough rambling.

 

i have a magnaflow round muffler i wish would rust off and die. its on 2.5 inch piping and i think it sounds like ****. oh and i have solid motor mounts and it sounds like something is rattling around in there ...
