Sam, check up on the warranty for the muffler shop. On the bill statement they should of listed exactly what was used. Some times shops rip people off assuming they know nothing about what they are getting. Find out what they say theyve given you, and well go down to my buddys muffler shop and see if what they said they gave you is correct.
Magnaflows I've heard have a deeper low tone to them compared to Flows.
But after getting Mags on my compact car, I'm sorta wondering how Flows would of sounded, because I really dont like how it sounds, its too ricey, but at the same time it sounds nice at certain RPMs
AfBoy, dont remove the cats, I did, it sounds different, but at the same time I think it may have actually worsened my gas milage, next time I need a fill up im going to reinstall them and find out. And if it did infact worsen my gasmilage, thats a $120 loss on my behalf for finding out. Ill keep you informed on my findings, it may take a while because I wont be using my X as a daily driver anymore (bought a compact car).
P.S. A lot of my driving was freeway driving (75mph for 20 miles one way to work, not including street driving to get to the freeway), which isn't the best gas milage I could get on the freeway. 65 mph on the freeway would average 20mpg, but going 75 is like 17 or 18 (possibly even 16)depending on the road.
Having an onboard computer is cool, especially watching it go to 99mpg (maxed out) and finding Id get better milage driving in the city (24-28mpg)
