BWmustang03GT:

I don't know about BBK but I can vouch for the MagnaFlow catted X. I've had mine since early 2003. When New York had very strict tail sniffing emissions testing, it easily passed.

Easy fit, up pretty high, and It sounds good too.

My BBK X-pipe hooked right up to my magnapaks and I have no complaints. But I'm assuming the magnaflow X would hook up directly to it as well.

FWIW i have a bbk o/r x and like it. I want to change it for a vrs, but the magnaflow is the same "style" they are true x's and not a stamped x. The magnaflows are supposed to be a better quality piece and sound better. But i like how my bbk sounds.

I have Magnaflow Catted X and the Magnaflow catback. Great fit. Great quality. No complaints at all after 6 years.

thanks everyone.. im probably going to go with the magnaflow.. i just hope it doesnt turn out to be a piece of junk like my slp.. i had to replace the cats once already because they hit the ground so much.. and the new cats are already ruined... i had 2 friends put bbk catted x pipes on their mustangs and they fit up really well and didnt hang at all.. thats why im having a hard time deciding between the 2 because i know the 2 bbk pipes i helped put on fit really good.. would either one be louder than the other or pretty much the same?

Got my Magnaflow cated X from completeexhaust .com $425 shipped to your door but you have to call and ask for the forum price. Had them in two days. Love how the Magnaflow CB and Magnaflow cated X sounds. Fits reall tight under the car. Lowered 2" and do not drag on speed bumps just my damn drivway if I don't come out at an angle.
