MBRP vs Magnaflow cat-back, opinions on either?

[Shawn_S]

Finally time for an exhaust for my 01 Burb.... I was pretty much set on the Magnaflow #15665 catback kit. Decided to take another look at what's available and saw the MBRP kit.

MBRP offers either a cheapo aluminized steel, or a T409 stainless kit. With coupon, the stainless kit is only $369. The cheapest I found the Magnaflow is $520. That's pretty substantial price difference. Watched several videos on both, they do sound similar, there's isn't an MBRP on a Suburban/XL, but I imagine an ext cab Silverado is pretty close. Above all, what I do not want, is that flappy, flat cylinder noise when you get on it.

That’s a nice cam you have there. Your neighbors must love you.

I'm sure. We try to be respectful of our neighbors.

Good thing she only comes out on the weekends.

I have an 04 Tahoe with the Magnaflow 15666 exhaust. Its sounds good, definitely has a noticeable growl compared to the stock exhaust. But I purposely chose this one because I have a nice sound system installed and I didn't want to overpower it with the exhaust note. I can't speak for the MBRP Exhaust, but I can tell you the Magnaflow kit is pretty mild.

I like it! I wouldn't be mad at you. Where in NJ are you?

If I heard that Tony, I'd run outside looking for a big block Chevelle!
