Pros:
|
great sound, perfect fitment, great customer service
|
|
Cons:
|
leaky band clamps
|
|
The install went very smooth and straight forward. Everything lined up perfectly. The sound is nice and deep, no rice honda crap. Quality welds and build of the exhaust system.
The supplied band clamps didnt make a complete seal, which could of been from me torquing then loosen, making adjustments then re torque, then loosen, make more adjustments and finally re torque. Now the band clamps are not making a complete seal. I called magnaflow told them the story and they said they will send me a complete new set of band clamps free, as they are part of the lifetime warranty. They didnt even ask me where or when I made the purchase of the cat back system.
I purchased from www.performancepeddler.com for $550 shipped.

Cons:

Passenger tip sits slightly lower than driver's
|
|
The install was a breeze and fitment is pretty good. The passenger side tip sits slightly lower than the driver's side, but it's not big deal and it can probably be fixed pretty easily. The exhaust has a great Boxer rumble -- it's nice and deep.
For $534 shipped you can't go wrong with this exhaust

Took me a while to decided on my exhaust and I am pretty happy with my choice. Sounds great and releases that wonderful boxer rumble. You most definately can't beat it for the price and simple install. I used Kartboy exhaust hanger mounts and firmed every thing up.

Great sound, quiet idle but loud WOT
|
|
Cons:

2.5" taper a hassle if running a 3" DP
|
|
I was searching for exhausts for quite a while and finally decided on this setup. Install was beyond simple and everything lines up great. (ATTN: you WILL need a 2.5"-3" adapter to mate this to an aftermarket DP). Sounds much better than my brothers Borla system on his WRX.

I have been looking around for awhile for a decent price for this exhaust found it on new on ebay. Magnaflow packaged the exhaust very well there was no damage when it arrived from CA-VA via UPS. Sounds great no leaks no new hardware required in my case. Basic rubber hanger trick, spray with WD-40 for super easy installation. Sounds great and looks great too.

Quality Straight through, no baffle ehaust system.

Cons:

A little louder at lower RPM's than expected.

I installed these with a Cobb Downpipe and it was a perfect match. The CBE was easy to install with perfect fitment to my '08 Legacy GT.
I wanted a lower, thoaty tone without that high pitched ricer fart. These magnaflows deliver.

Easy install, stock-like appearance, sweeeeet boxer rumble
|

Cons:

neck down to 2.5 at DP joint
|

This is a great sounding exhaust, easy install, subtle appearance! Smooth boxer rumble is how I would describe it. It is loud when you get on it, but not so loud as to be obnoxious at cruising speeds. I can hear a slight drone at cruising but it is tolerable. This is a very subjective thing as I came from an STi with a TBE that seemed louder in the cabin, but about the same outside. I have it mated to a catless Megan Racing DP.

Cons:

Fitment issue, passenger side sits a bit lower than driver side
|
|
This catback sounds mean. Good price for a catback($562 to my door). Only fitment issue is the passenger side muffler tip sits a bit lower(1/2"?) than the driver side. To those who are anal and meticulous, it will drive you crazy. I can deal with it for now. Some folks have put a clamp on the hangars to help adjust the muffler height and I may go that route. For now, I am gonna enjoy the sound.

tips faded and bubbling

Just got my 05 legacy wagon with this system already installed (3 months by previous owner). Sound is quite nice , very comparable to my Borla hush cat back on my WRX. Does have a slightly annoying drone when you let off the gas at highway speeds. Tips are real nice looking except for the fact the chrome has faded and has small bubbles (impossible to keep looking new anyhow). For some reason the install looks wierd. Tips fairly even (unlike previous post) but the Y pipe sits 4" below the bottom of the car. Maybe the installers put in extra long hangersfor clearance problems? Anyhow I'll correct that soon enough and hope I don't get rattling like I did in my Borla system (evntually had to get those extended cobb hangers)

Just an update after a few thousand miles on this exhaust. Really getting to like it. Drone went away after a computer reset. Better sound than my WRX borla hush. Left the extended hanger in and haven't hit anything. Cleaned the tips with polish abd they look near new again. Highly recommended system.

I timed myself, and the install only took me 67 minutes. I don't know what to compare the sound to as this is my first LGT. It is deep, yet subtle. I hardly hear it at highway speeds, but it make a smooth rumble during acceleration. Idle is a slight rumble. Reving is not the greatest, but I haven't got the DP yet. My neighbor says that is sounds perfect. Not too loud. It looks good too. It is tucked up good behind the bumper with a hint of polish shining by way of the perfect sized, centered tips.

Love it. Sounds very similar to my 2003 Cobra. Quiet when cruising, deep boxer rumble on the throttle, no drone, no buzzy 4 banger garbage.
