I'm looking to do headers. With 2.25 inch piping into the cat and out the back to the muffler and so on on my 1993 2wd 4cyl 5speed. I want a clean deep sound without the ricer sound or any type of bee buzzing noices. I have not heard either brand on a truck like mine yet. I heard that magnaflow is good. And I have read a lot of positive feedback from borla. Is it necessary to pay the extra money on a borla or will the magnaflow give me what I'm looking for? On Friday I entered a muffler shop and an employee/owner there told me that both magnaflow and borla are identical. Practically twins. Same material same sound same everything. Not sure if he is correct but I don't want to doubt a person that own a muffler shop and does this for a living. Anyways any help is good thank you.
Well I'm running stock manifold but I put on a Magnaflow cat with a Super 40 series from Flow Master with 2.25 out the back and it sounds damn good. No stupid ricer sound either. Sorry I don't have a recording I can post.
I have one on my phone but I have no idea how to upload it. Good quality. HD and everything, but no idea how to.
The flowmaster 40 or 50 will sound good, that is until one of the welded baffles comes loose and it sounds like a swarm of pissed off bees trying to chase down a honda. Its happened twice for me. The magnaflow I have now isn't raspy at all and sounds good but isn't as deep as the flowmaster was but its not as loud either, which I like. The only borla I have heard was on a coworkers stock tacoma 3.4 and it was loud inside and had lots of cab resonance. look on youtube for 22re exhaust clips. There are lots on there to listen to
I just put a no name glass pack on today. Went to a local muffler shop and got it installed for kinds cheap. sounds good. it is deeper and gives a nice pop when downshifting. I have stock piping. Cherry bombs are glass packs, so I guess they sound similar.
@ lilred93 I'll pm you @robert m thanks I'll check out yt I've tried before but never typed the right words lol I can't stand that honda swarm sound lol it's so ammoying @firetruckyoda is there a certain seriies you installed?
@ 93TILinfinity: The guy at the shop just has a bunch of glasspacks. It's a no name one, so I can't tell you.
@firetruckyoda oh I see thanks I'm going to one this Saturday hopefully @lilred93 wow that sounds clean!!!!! It sounds like a beast
I love it. I am very happy with the resulting sound as I cruise down the road. Sounds good when it echoes against walls too.
Tell me about it. I spent 1200 on rebuilding the engine. 220 on switching the disks and and other things. And exactly last month I rear ended a jeep. Hit the spare tire that they carry in the rear. Nothing happen to the jeep but my poor truck was trashed. The hood, bumper, radiator, radiator shroud & grille were bent and broken. That was another 220 and still need the grille and shroud. Now I got the k and n on the way. I'm still debating on using lowering blocks or leafs. When I do drop it I'll throw on the 17s. That alone will give it a new look. What are your plans lilred93?
Gonna buy a drop block kit from Beefed Taco, and then get some drop spindles. Don't wanna go too low cuz it's my daily driver and I love to go cruise up the canyons and dirt roads. Nothing to harsh on the truck though. Then give it a good paint job and bucket seats.
& lilred93. Same here I just want the lnice look and be able to take sharper turns. I cruise a lot but everyone and then you got to haiul ass. Are you doing a 2 or 3 inch? @ b.y.e. Lmao Idk if I'm ready for that yet I want something medium I guess
