Why did you go with the Magnaflow over the Silverline? My Silverline is not loud at all, mabye as loud as a stock STI.

I am sorry I broke your coupler. I blame it on u leaving early and not helping me finish my turbo. But the gods have humor and I am driving around shooting air out my turbo jsut like you.

Braineack 10-21-2007 07:57 PM

very nice

magnamx-5 10-21-2007 08:16 PM

Is the coupler a angled coupler? if not then a peice of radiator hose should get you back on the raod. +1 on the sound clips beigna major requirement. ;)

Braineack 10-21-2007 08:21 PM

no it's a 90*, otherwise it would be fixed already. I'm running it as is untill the replacement arrives, no biggie. My drive isn't far to work and I'm running a map sensor so the biggest worry is running unfilter air, which i dont really care about.

miatamania 10-21-2007 08:26 PM

Really like the test pipe...very slick.

I had Jason weld up the same thing for me, but in a 2.5"-3" transition instead. So our exhausts are nearly identical but I didn't specify the magnaflow can.

watch laying into the throttle, you can overspin the turbo since it will never see high enough to open the wastegate, better off if you're gonna drive it open the wastegate somehow

SCOTTTT what size is your bum coupler? I have a 2.5" 90.

Braineack 10-21-2007 10:22 PM
