thanks guys , it sounds awesome, zero resonance, no popping/cracking, and thats before a tune to compensate, really a very impressive system to say the least.
It idles hardly any louder than stock, cruises at slightly louder than stock, however when you you hit the gas, well, lets just say she wakes up real good

with catalytic converters that flow 590cfm each side I'm in good shape. If you remember I was worried about finding cats that flowed enough cfm to to support 500rwhp. With Magnaflows new product I'm in real good shape, in fact, I haven't seen a higher flowing cat yet.

Looks good. Do you have a link to the cats? I'd like to read about the advertised flow rating. Couldn't find anything on the Magnaflow site. Last I read all their cats were made by Carsound.

Thanks Ben, Richard(oxidizr) has all the published flow data on the cats, it just hasn't migrated to their website yet since the product was just released, a week to two weeks ago. He offered to give me the data but it was late and I was tired. Carsound/Magnaflow are the same company. However these cats are a Magnaflow item.

Cool. Doesn't look California street legal. Must still have a different state tag on?
