Definitely the regular maggies. I will never use magnaacks again. I had them with my kooks lt's and o/r x and it was too damn loud. sounded like competee ass also. Sounded great at idle though, but any percentage of throttle over 2100rpm was loud, obnoxious, and raspy. sounded alot like an old chevy truck with hollowed cats and glasspacks.. blah.

Regular Magnaflow and Magnaflow catted X here.


this is what i have as well. it's stealthy at idle and blasts under throttle with alot of bass. much louder than stock WOT, but not obnoxious or raspy at all. made great tq for a pulley "only" car, so it must be doing something right in the performance dept.

If you go with the regular magnaflows, go with an o/r x. Cat the X if you go with Packs. Retarded loud with o/r x and packs. Your neighbors will get pissed and the police will get rich.

Doesn't knock birds out of trees until you stomp it!

HAHAHA :lol: Funniest thing I've read in quite a while.

With your midpipe I'd run the regulars. Packs can start sounding like glasspacks if you're not careful with midpipe selection. There's not a lot of tonal difference between the two; but the packs are probably 1/2 again as loud and don't mute any of the burp/burble/fart/blat that may be going on (which is likely with midlengths and no cats).

I have a Magnaflow catted X. I had the regular Magnaflows and they just weren't enough for me. Got Packs welded in and it is my favorite exhaust I've heard on a Cobra. But yes it's loud :burnout:

regulars with o/r imo. I have the regulars with o/r h and long tubes and its nasty loud, so if i were to put on packs i dont think it would sound as good. Might as well drive around with open headers.

I have magnaflow catted x pipe and magnaflow catback. I always get compliments on how good the car sounds. It is somewhat mellow until you stomp on it.

Ive run both on my Cobra. Magnaflows were very nice and throaty but got a little bit raspy when you opened it up.
When I had my TT car I never heard the sound of the Magnapacks until the day I sold it and it drove away down the street. I WAS IMPRESSED
