Question: Will I get better gas mileage with MagnaFlow Performance Exhausts?
Answer: YES, a better performing engine uses fuel more efficiently, if driving conditions and tendencies are similar. However, it is not a guarantee. Our mufflers were designed as performance mufflers. *MagnaFlow's diesel exhaust for trucks will see the biggest gains due to our systems' dropping EGT's over 150 degrees.
Question: Are all your Cat-Back Systems made with Stainless Steel?
Answer: Yes, all our Cat-Back Exhaust Systems are completely made from stainless steel (except for our Titanium Performance Exhaust). Everything from the pipes, hangers, clamps, muffler and tips. *Tips, mufflers, and resonators (where applicable) are "mirror finish", polished stainless steel. Stainless steel is better looking and will never rust. Nothing looks better or lasts longer than stainless steel.
Question: What does the Cat-Back Exhaust System include and can I install the system myself?
Answer: Our cat-back exhaust systems are fully COMPLETE and are stainless steel. Everything from the pipes, hangers, clamps, mufflers and tips. *Tips, mufflers, and resonators (where applicable) are "mirror finish", polished stainless steel. They come with everything needed to bolt up in place of your factory system using basic tools. No welding is required. Many customers install our systems themselves due to ease of installation. Most systems can be bolted on within 1-2 hours.
Question: I have a sport compact car, but you don't offer a cat-back system for my car. What are my options?
Answer: The "Street Series" universal mirror finish mufflers, equipped with tips, are designed for all sport compact cars in mind. For a full cat-back system you can visit your local "Pro-Installer" to custom bend a system that can be used in conjunction with our "Street Series" and "Race Series" mirror finish line mufflers for a complete cat-back system.
Question: Does a dual cat-back exhaust system perform better than a single?
Answer: In most cases a single exhaust will give you better torque and horsepower. The exception would be a heavily modified engine.
Question: How much horsepower can I expect to gain?
Answer: It's different for every car, but typically expected gains are in the average range of 10%.
Replacing the muffler/exhaust with a MagnaFlow will help your engine increase power by being able to expel exhaust gases quicker. This creates less workload for the engine, makes it run more efficient, and results in better power.
Question: What is the different between MagnaFlow Performance and MagnaFlow XL Diesel Truck systems?
Answer: The MagnaFlow Performance systems feature a lifetime warranty, 100% stainless steel construction, polished stainless steel MagnaFlow Wide Open Performance muffler and polished stainless steel tip(s). The corresponding MagnaFlow XL series carries a 6-year warranty and features the same all-stainless construction and Wide Open Performance muffler as the MagnaFlow Performance system except the muffler surface is unpolished and a tip is not included.
Question: What's the difference between Stainless Steel and Aluminized Steel?
Answer: The main difference between the two is pricing and the outer shell of the mufflers. Stainless Steel cost more than Aluminized Steel. The Stainless steel mufflers have a polished stainless steel shell and are 100% stainless construction. Stainless steel is better looking and will never rust. Nothing looks better or lasts longer than stainless steel. The aluminized mufflers have stainless internals and necks but have an aluminized outer shell. Also, the aluminized steel has only a protective coating that, if scratched off, may rust. Both mufflers have identical internal construction and materials and both offer you a lifetime warranty and will give you that Straight-through Wide Open Performance with no restrictions. No restrictions equals better flow, and better flow equals more horsepower. |
