Bolt-in the new axleback.

Took me about 1 hour, simply because I had a badly frozen exhaust bolt.

My stock axleback is sitting in my garage, and is still install-able at any point.

Great!

thanks

Looks like its about $275 though.

magnaflow ftw, sounds amazing, quiet at idle but noticable during acceleration.

i have one, its barely more audible in the drivers seat at idle.
with a cold air intake at WOT its nice , no rasp. stays fairly quiet in normal driving until you punch down on the gas.

who cares?
anyone know?
i THINK its to help keep the sound down on idle and it opens higher in the range to flow more freely at WOT
anyone else?

The valve is for reducing backpressure at full throttle.

It actually adds a few horsepower... versus not being there and having a solid disk.

It also adds backpressure at lower RPMs. Something to do with "exhaust pulse tuning", in the pursuit of a quiet exhaust sound.

you can compare how quiet it is with how loud my shifts are

i believe the GReddy SE will be also pretty comparable to the Tanabe MT

Good idea. I'd like to hear what the stock one hollowed out sounds like.

So the axle back is just a couple bolts? I might try to put my new one (probably Precision Muffler) on myself in that case.

One more vote for the Magnaflow catback, sounds nice n easy with daily driving and when you give it some gas you get the nice little growl. Only bad part is cutting the stock midpipe.
