Default magnaflow exhaust impressions

i can get a great deal on a full cat back magnaflow exhaust system for my si (friend's dad's part supplier company is carrying magnaflow now). just wondering if anyone has any impressions on this kit? anyone use it/heard it/heard about it/seen any dynos, etc.

fading to brown is no good. what about power gains? decent, at least when compared to other systems? thanks for the input

The magnaflow looks really nice on the EP. It has a deep low tone to it, but it was a little too loud for my taste. But then again, I only like the stock muffler. I hear it gets more quiet over time though.

the brown will go away with some chrome polish, like blue magic or mothers...

i have the magnaflow on my ep. I like it as well but it is a bit loud, but i guess you have to expect that with any exhaust. I have had it for over a month now and i have gotten used to it. Buti really like it. Cant beat the price for it

They are stainless steel, not chrome. If it was chrome, and it turned brown, it would be lousy plating. Browning stainless is common.

It is nowhere near 70 lbs. It is lighter than the stock exhaust.
