Which Magnaflow to get - Your Opinions Please...

[usaco]

Hi everyone,

I'm after a new muffler for my 98 EK1 and hoping to get your opinion as to which one looks better. Here are my 2 options:

Magnaflow 14818

or Magnaflow 14827

If anyone have either one installed on their EK, can you please post up some pics?

One last thing, has anyone used this ebayer?

Thanks in advance.

Looks wise I prefer the lower one.

[dougie_504]

Me also. Bit more length. I dont like those stumpy ones...

I've got the top one on my EG5 and i really like it.
There is practicly no drone and is nice and quiet when driving around normally then it has a nice tone and a good amount of noise at high revs.

Yeah I had my eyes set on the second one, but wasn't too sure how it'd look...

Is the tip short on your eg? or is it a good length and sitting nicely? got any pics?

[Timothy]

Actually I think mine is a bit different to the first one... It's pretty short but I don't mind how it looks

Here's some pics :

These might be better quality:

That looks not bad! Do you have a video of it?

Yeah I like it, I wish the tip went the same size all the way up to the muffler though and didn't reduce down.
I got it from amazon.com.. It was only $145 delivered from the USA.
I ordered it on a Saturday night and it was at my door on the Tuesday morning and i didn't even get express postage!

I don't have a video but I will record one tomorrow and post it up for you man

[usaco]

Tim, it does look nice! I agree with the size change... $145 delivered is a bargain!!

[EKVTIR-T]

God that's nice......makes me want to something about mine :( I've always like the look of the oval mufflers on civics and gen 2 crx's.

[usaco]

I went ahead and ordered the 14827 direct from Amazon for $156 delivered...:thumbsup: It will take 8-16 business days

Cross my fingers and will keep you all posted!

Thanks again everyone!!! :wave:

[Timothy]

Mine said it would take 8-12 day too and was here in 3 and two of those days were a weekend.
So hopefully you get it quick too!

[Timothy]

Nice one.Happy with the sound so far?

Paint it black if you want a bit more stealthyness and less atttractive to cops :)

[Timothy]

Looks good!
It will get louder after you've had it on for a little while, just so you know.

[usaco]

Nice one.Happy with the sound so far?

Quite happy with it... but was hoping for a deeper sound - it sorta sounds like the VW golf GTI's when it screams.

[mugen_ctr]

wow looks very nice!

Get a lip if u dont wanna paint it, but conceal it :D
