Yes, in RAncho Santa Margarita. And go reread GNN60GT500 last response. He answered your questions already.SurfnSoCal said:Also, is Magnaflow here in Orange County?

First off, I didn't call anyone a ricer because they don't agree with the price change. Don't worry, there will be some cheap $300 systems out there that will be all aluminized (piping and mufflers)ryanrule said:well it is. we arent the typical ricer who pays 500 for an exhaust system because we dont know any better. theres no reason for the price to jump

why would you get a different sound from going from stock 2.5" Mandrel bent pipe to an aftermarket 2.5" Mandrel bent pipe.
Its the same thing?
So, the orignal questions stands....why would anyone get the catback system, and not save money and get the axle back system?
Are we missing something?

Second, I paid $520 for my Maganflow catback on my old 89 GT, so that price seems fair to me.
I know that's not the normal price, did you get it on saleryanrule said:i paid 325 for mine
That was the normal price, until last year when Magnaflow jacked up their prices for no reason other than to make more profit.331ci_89gt said:I know that's not the normal price, did you get it on sale???
Makes me wish I would have shopped for mine.
I agree, Ryan does make good points. Most of the time when a new company comes out with a new product it's going to cost more than the previous model. In this case there is no previous model, so maybe Magnaflow is trying to capitalize off of the consumerRydeOn said:That was the normal price, until last year when Magnaflow jacked up their prices for no reason other than to make more profit.Ryan makes many good points, and I agree with him.
That won't make to many people happy thenRydeOn said:Magnaflow has been stainless steel for quite a while now. Magnaflow has done a considerable amount of growth in the last 5 years. As it was before, the top two stainless steel companies were Borla and Bassani. At the time, people considered them big dollar exhaust but they were the most desirable. Mustangers went for Flowmaster for that traditional muscle car sound, and it was lower priced but lower quality. Magnaflow got their name out and grew because they offered stainless construction at a Flowmaster price. Eventually everybody caught onto this and started buying like crazy. Magnaflow reacted with their price hike last year. No longer are they a cheap alternative. They are the top dawgs along with Bassani and Borla now. This has become more apparant with the release of the new 05 Mustang exhaust, and their new high dollar titanium exhaust line they have released fairly recently. Im not saying its wrong and it is good for them, but it does mean that you as a consumer will be paying more money for no real reason other than the name, as Ryan was originally getting at. As for the price going down in a year, I dont bet, I guarantee not.
