Just a few, sorry for the large size and low quality. Just shadowlined even though these pics dotn really show it, couldnt get a good angle, camera, lighting situation wasn't optimal.

The exhaust is a Magnaflow full stainless 2.5 inch in and dual 3" outs. I actually used to have it on my old Mkiii Supra and it was just sitting in the garage. I think it really fit the car well and sounds great, not too loud at all. The rest is still stock cats with resonator. Cats will be coming out soon tho due to the fact there both blown and rattling.

Interesting. By my (unofficial and inaccurate notes) there are at least 7 Magnaflow E34s here, with most resonator deletes. About half like it and half say "too much". So that makes you and Incantation running Stock Resonator and a Magnaflow. (and both liking it).

Was it one of these thangs on this webpage (if you recall)?

Super clean! How much did the exhaust set you back? On a scale of 1-10 how loud would you say it is? I am looking for something sporty but not too loud.

I actually got the exhaust from a local muffler shop here, they had a catalog and I ordered it from there. It was about 250$. Im thinking pf going no res soon just to hear it a little better, on a 1-10 scale Id say its 4. Id like it to be a bit louder like a 6.

I am looking to replace my ratty 325 Touring exhaust but the $400 stocker was a little high. How loud is this in comparison to the stock?

I've seen some poo-poo Magnaflow. Sure I'd like to go Supersprint cat back or Eberspaecher & Eisenmann but I'm not sure about coming up with that kind of cash. My notes:

Delete Sounds great 525
Delete Friggin good sound 540
Delete Sounds great 525
Delete Incredible but droning at low speed 540
Delete Awesome then bothersome ?
Stock A bit loud but nice and throaty 535

Thanks for the tip Ben, I'll look it up. :D

Mom and Grandma lived down there all of my life, so I go down about every three months or so. But no longer, Grandma just moved to Waynesboro, NC and Mom is moving to Asheville, NC in June. :(

I also have a Magnaflow 12xxx series (dual in/dual out) with no resoantor, sounds badass!! A little droning at very low speeds in low gear, but nothing I can't deal with.. And I'm in Atlanta, GA, if you come down and wanna hear it, pm me!! :D BTW, sig is of the stock muffler, haven't taken any with the Magnaflow yet..
