Default Anyone using a Magnaflow Oval Muffler?

Is anyone using a Maganflow oval muffler? Not the fart can one, but the actual oval one that looks like a stock muffler. What's the sound like? My friend has a brand new one that he's offering to me for $20. I just don't want to go through the hassle of chopping off my stock one, welding it on and possibly not liking it. Thanks guys.

dont do it. u will be considered a ricer. not only that but that muffler is gay. just get a real cat back for like 250 on ebay if ur goin cheep. spending 20 bucks to be made fun of isnt worth it. like if u do anything to an exhaust do it right or ull be mad at urself.

So this is a fart can? Right...


I'm going to making a custom 2.25" from the cat back, I don't need to be buying that eBay junk, and Magaflow isn't "ricer" stuff. But whatever floats your boat, thanks for your help.

The point is that it looks like a factory muffler and gives the car some tone. Lose the attitude seriously. It's not really going to really free up any horsepower, but then again a full cat-back isn't going to free up a whole lot either without other mods. Let it go.

To the OP, I used to have one just like it and it sounded good. If it's $20 then get it.

Definitely pick it up for $20. I paid $60 brand new for my Magnaflow Oval and I love it. Perfect volume, nice pitch. Of course, I have a full exhaust too.

X2 magnaflow has a unique sound if you ask me. When I had mine it was not raspy at all.

If you are going to get it put on, please get a resonator to knock out the higher frequencies of the exhaust note.

I know it's my car, that's not the point. I wanted to know what the muffler sounds like so I don't have to go hacking up my muffler/axel back only to find out it sounds like ***.

You won't regret it at all with the oval Magnaflow muffler. It sounds much better than most oval shaped performance mufflers out there, and the sound is very tolerable for a DD. Here are the sound clips from Magnaflow themselves. I hope this helps.

Pretty much any muffler will sound bad without a good resonator on a honda civic. Get a good b-pipe or resonator after your Cat. converter and call it a day.

Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers are also good alternatives to the Magnaflow muffler. I am running a magnaflow muffler using my RS*R catback exhaust and it sounds okay.

I say go for it. As said before, as long as you have a good resonator it won't sound like butthole. Don't just hack the stock one, have a full cat back made and you will have the same performance as most cat backs that cost twice as much.

SHOKLID, STFU. Telling him he is a ricer, when you say to go EBay?

heres mine. if your exhaust is stock and your just replacing the muffler it will sound good. not loud at all just has a good tone to it.

i love the sound, but i'm also turbo running 3" all the way back into this muffler with a summit 18" glasspack in the B pipe, no specific exhaust, all welded up by me using mandrel bends.

not so sure how it would sound on an otherwise stock exhaust. here's a clip of it at the track, but i think all you can really hear is my wastegate dumped to atmosphere.
