Default magnaflow catback question??

Is the magnaflow catback out yet?

If so, where is the best place to get it from (quality/cost wise)

From what i hear, this is going to be a good setup (if its out yet)

please reply w/ details

I WORK FOR A DEALERSHIP AND INSPECTIONS ARE REVISED BY STATE AUDITORS, IT'S VERY HARD TO GET AWAY WITH CATLESS SET UP, UNLESS THE TECHNICIAN YOU KNOW ARE WILLING TO RISK THEIR LICENSE.

Get a high flow cat. On most cars there is not much difference in HP versus a straight pipe.

Keep an eye on the link below as you can expect a huge update very soon. (Final Dyno numbers, Part #, System specs.)
Your patience will pay off in added wheel hp.

what you do is find someone with a shop that does inspections. then they do most of the inspection on your car, then they pull up another one for the emissions it's hard to get caught doing it, i'v had it done a number of times

the last few posts might sound clear to you but im still kind of thrown off. If i get a catback setup for my car (any one that is made for the scion).... am i going to have emissions problems?

Not sure - I think the diameter may be a little small for FI since a turbo likes less backpressure = larger diameter.

thats my problem. I wanted to get an exhaust that I can use later on for my turbo. BUT, the problem is (that i know of)...if u dont have the turbo, u need smaller pipes. AND with the turbo, u need larger pipes. I really dont think we can win here. Can someone post a good reply on the topic please?

If you know you're going to get a turbo then get the bigger pipes now and deal with the loss for a little while. Would you rather suffer for a little while and then have a big boost of power or have to buy 2 exhausts?
