Glad you like it. Wish I went with 5". Guess I could always go that way in the future. Are you setting off any car alarms?

Sometimes quiet is good. I'm sure my neighbors wish mine was quieter.
I had SLP's exhaust on my Z28 a few years back. Now that sounded very, very healthy. Sounds like your fiance is a keeper...

5" magna flow

Where did you purchase the exhaust kit? Do you use the cat? How much was the kit? Do you have that annoying drone at cruising speeds?

I want a 5" for my 2004.5 but afraid of the drone!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Do you ever tow? I really want to go 5" and MBRP told me there's is LOUD. I wondered if the Magnaflow is quieter. My fear also is of the drone at highway speeds. I guess I'm wondering how much louder it will be pulling a load at 75mph. Anyone done this yet?

well what do you guys think is better? Dual 4" or a single 5"?? I like the way the duals look but is it louder or as effective as a 5" system? Also, how much did your magnaflow system cost you?

The dual 4" is only a cat back system. The 5" is from turbo back and will flow much more.
