Just thought I'd see what kind of results you guys have seen. I found them both at the same price too. I also have a custom shop in my area that mandrel bends. None of them seem too loud and I haven't heard of any droning complaints. Quality of welds or stainless steel differences? I've always been one to believe any change you make to the intake or exhaust needs tuning to make use of that change. I'd rather wait on tuning until Superchips and SCT's stuff is readily available and tested.
Don't go with Magnaflow, expensive and tubing diameter is stupid small for the price.
FSWERKS is 2.5 inch, stainless and solid for the price,
2J Racing is 3 inch, aluminium or stainless and also solid choice, can't go wrong with either one.
A tune will definitely net you the most gains but even if you bolt on a freer flowing CBE on stock tune, you will see benefits, less weight, a tad bit more power.
Turbos love freer flow, freer the better, but tune makes it all better as a whole.
Thanks for pointing that out about the Magnaflow. 2.25" is usually good for around 190-200 hp from what I remember reading. I though 3" might be overkill. How To Calculate Muffler Size and Exhaust Pipe Diameter | Exhaust Videos I did just realize 2J is another option, but the stainless option makes it more expensive by quite a bit.
My vote has changed from fswerks to 2j racing because of price, tube diameter and it has both a resonator and muffler whereas fswerks only has a muffler I believe
2jr stainless is expensive but just listen to that thing....couldnt resist hitting the purchase button. Plus it will outlast the alumizied steel especially if you live in a place where it snows.
It doesn't snow here but maybe twice a winter. I never keep a car more than two years, so I might just think about aluminzed.
