There are many aftermarket exhaust systems available for enthusiasts, some better than others. Magnaflow exhausts are widely considered some of the best exhausts available. They produce a great sound, good looks and impressive quality and durability. They also make a wide range of fitments for most vehicles, whether it’s a sport compact car, a truck or an American muscle car.
The primary purpose of any aftermarket exhaust, whether it’s Magnaflow or another brand, is the increased performance provided by the exhaust. Magnaflow exhaust systems are specifically designed to flow as optimally as possible. The quicker exhaust gasses can be exited from the motor, the more potential power the motor can make. This superior design is reached through a combination of larger diameter exhaust tubing and smooth bends that do not obstruct air flow. Typically, engine’s will see a 10-percent gain in performance from the addition of a Magnaflow exhaust.
Believe it or not, even though Magnaflow exhausts are designed as performance exhausts, they usually provide a small gain in fuel efficiency, particularly when fitted to trucks. This is because they contribute to the engine running more efficiently.
Because of their unique internal design, which does not use baffles or louvers, Magnaflow exhausts produce a deep, mellow exhaust note. Where some aftermarket exhausts can sound tinny or simply be too loud, Magnaflow focuses on producing an aggressive yet not obnoxious exhaust note.
Magnaflow exhausts look great. The stainless steel that all of their exhaust systems are made from looks as good as it functions. Magnaflow polishes the stainless steel to a mirror finish that looks as good on a street car as it does on a full show car.
Because their exhausts are developed for series like the Monster Truck Series and grueling Baja racing, Magnaflow exhausts undergo real world research and development, resulting in some of the best quality exhausts around. Magnaflow has built a reputation on this impressive durability. All Magnaflow exhaust components, whether it’s a complete exhaust, a muffler or simply an exhaust tip, are made from stainless steel, which is far more durable than chrome and will not rust over time.
