Magnaflow or Flowmaster?

[MitsuGrl2002]

I heard Magnaflow and Flowmaster are two top of the line names but...which one makes better custom dual exhaust??? Would it be worth getting cold air intake and dual exhaust with a turbo kit?

[MitsuGrl2002]

Or if not dual exhaust, what would be a really good muscle exhaust? And would I need to change the header when getting turbo?

to get a turbo you need a new exhaust manifold (sometimes called a header on naturally aspirated cars). Turbo kits come with their own intake, intakes made for the car without a turbo kit will not fit one with a turbo kit added.

I have the Magnaflow on mine. It's really good and not some cheap loud muffler with an Ebay Poorformass sticker on it. Has a powerfull sound but it's not loud....pretty good performer too.

I saw a mustang last night with THE MOST awesome exhaust system, it sounded so beefy! I want to know what the hell they had...lol

But ok, so if I get a turbo kit, I can't get a separate CAI???

[drdisque]

turbo kits come with their own intake, cold air doesn't matter since it gets all hot in the turbo anyway and then you cool it back down with an intercooler.

[MitsuGrl2002]

So can I install turbo and CAI? Is CAI something completely different outside of the turbo kit?

[Gkreator]

CAI = Cold Air Intake The intercooler looks like a radiator.

[drdisque]

CAI is cold air intake, it is NOT an intercooler

an intercooler is a thing that looks like a radiator, an FMIC is a front mount intercooler and an SMIC is a side mount intercooler. Air coming from the turbo flows through it to cool off before going into the engine.

as I said twice before, turbo kits come with their own intake and intakes made for the regular non-turbo eclipse will not fit if you get a turbo kit.

Opps...

[Shpyder]

hahaha, a definite difference between NA guys and turbo guys.

Anyways, mustangs sound very loud because they have straight thru resonators with no interwaving restrictors both within the car and the mufflers themselves....that is why u will hear more noise from an american V8 than a japanese V8.

[MitsuGrl2002]

damn, so now i am going to have to sell the cold air intake that I just bought for my car huh? cuz i plan on getting the turbo kit...

[drdisque]

yep, you'll have to.

[eclipsed4utoo]

you wont get the same sound from your eclipse as you will from a mustang no matter what exhaust you put on it.

[MitsuGrl2002]

yeah i figured, not to mention its just the 4cyl so its not going to sound as beefy...but so far i'm liking flowmaster...*shrug* i dont know yet =)
