Magnaflow muffler

[bigbadboss101]

I am thinking of putting a Magnaflow muffler on my 93 325i instead of spending $800+ on a cat back like Supersprint or UUC. Are most of the universal mufflers they make pretty much the same? I am leaning toward the oval ones instead of the round ones you see on Japanese cars. Not sure if they have different performance/flow. $300 vs $800 on a cat back. Recommendations?

I purchased DTM tips magna flows...It's been about 4 months since I've purchased this exhaust. I got custom pipes also and have taken out my resignator (if thats how you spell it) and it is quite loud...I like it...And i believe it does havea smiliar sound from the others....

I have both magnaflow cat and cat back with new tubing as well. I love it, it sounds so good.

My 318is just got Magnaflows with no resonator.

i got it as well. sounded nice when it was first installed, but then after a couple hundered miles after it broke in, its even more loud and mean.

I think I have the same muffler on my car...imo mufflers do not add any noticeable hp at all to our cars...maybe a supersprint might add 5 or so...I noticed a slight decrease of torque too.

I'd still recommend it though for the looks and sound....sounds good at idle, is rarely to loud and sounds great full throttle

magnaflow here too. sounds VERY nice. my only complaint is that it is a little raspy when the engine and exhaust is cold when you first start the car up.

i have a magnaflow...it was a disaster. i was young a nieve and the meineke guy suckered me into getting a straight pipe with tiny cat like (6inch big) goining into the magna flow....

i repleced the whole system back to stock the next morning.

:rolleyes :(

thinking of putting this exhaust on my car... but... i dont know... what tips are you using sparticus, are those the tips that come with the exhaust or what? and what size piping do you guys use with the magnaflow? and the part number if anyone has it
thanks guys

[sparticus]

#14815. that's how it comes with those tips.

i have a DTM Magnaflow for a 318/323 single inlet.

I will sell for cheap since I got it in a parts trade as a bonus.

make me an off.

you will need a y connector for your twin cat exhaust of the 325, but the muffler should work without a hitch.

I talked to magnaflow a while back and was told that they do not make a BMW specific application but that a universal would be ALMOST as good.

I then found a cheap M3 one to tie me over for a bit until I feel the need to dish out some $$ on a good one.

im loving my magnaflow on my 318, stock reso, 2.5" piping to the tip

only problem is its LOUD, but nice and deep.

just wondering...
is it louder than a UUC system U v.2?
