finished my magnaflow exhaust - Land Rovers Only

stolenheron · 03-18-2008, 06:40 PM

installed the exhaust today. doesn't sound much louder than stock, but its a much deeper note, and the car feels a little less restricted with the lack of resonator and new magnaflow muffler. we reused the factory downward facing tip and welded it to the straight pipe (where the resonator used to be). The tip is clear of the bumper, but its a little bit higher and shorter than before for clearance purposes. i will post some videos of the sound later. I wish it was a bit louder, but its a classy performance sound like a rover should rather than a straight-piped chevy silverado.

Looks like a clean install. Can't wait to see the videos.

I really love the sound of mine. I think I can actually tell a difference in gas mileage also which is always a plus, even though it may be a small increase. I still keep in mind that is a a Land Rover though.

i am kinda disappointed in the sound volume. i thought it would be alot louder. its hardly louder than stock. but its a very good sound, sounds smooth and throaty even though its quiet.

It is nice to have them sounding good, but better flow is the important thing. If you have better flow, you may see improvements in torque, horsepower, and/or fuel economy. These are all good improvements. IMO, doing any of these without getting too loud is great. Don't know if it will be a very noticeble increase in any of these, but you said it feels less restricted. That is definitly a plus.

Neo1975 · 03-26-2008, 07:07 PM

Did you ever get any videos so we can hear it?

stolenheron · 03-26-2008, 07:10 PM

the only video i have of it right now is the dyno video, but the fan and the dyno kinda drowns it out. i'll try and get one this weekend.

the exhaust isn't a whole ton different than the stock sound :/

Couldn't hear it to well over the fan, but that was a cool video. Great looking Discovery.
