Caveat Emptor!
It's easier to keep track of everyone by looking in my PMs, and yes, I'm going for full stainless.
It's a Mustang (company name) dyno which supposedly gives you more "real world" numbers. The dyno rollers have varying resistance in them depending on vehicle weight, and the rollers are textured as opposed to smooth steel. This dyno allows you to do 0-60, and quarter mile runs as well. It was real cool, we put my car up there and I did a 0-60 run, launching it at 3,500 RPM and shifting real hard. I'll tell you more later. with what looked like 3.5 inch angle cut tips. They are the same tips shown on their website video. The muffler uses all the stock rubber mounts, and (the good part) they will make it for any year car, regardless of the mounting style. Some of you might have been wondering about the stainless steel clamps like I was. The reason for those is most of their exhausts are completely welded, needing no clamps however, if you are at a great distance they can make some of the pipes detachable for easy shipping, they are then assembled by you with the stainless steel clamps They prefer to make it all one piece, but it's cool that they have that option. The muffler has a lifetime warranty from magnaflow, so no need to worry there. There is a 22lbs weight savings, and roughly a 7-9hp increase. Honestly though after hearing this thing, it didn’t matter to me what the gain was. It sounds awesome, like I said, I was at EXPO, I heard almost all the exhausts there, I like this one the best. From inside the car it sounds a tad bit deeper, hardly any louder. The most I heard was during a sprint up a hill while lugging in 3rd gear, during that time I heard that all so incredible very low growl, almost like a moan (very cool) Outside the car was a different story. You can totally hear the difference, it sounds much less "metallic" more deeper, louder, tones. Loud but muted, I think what I mean is there is no unwanted resonance, it doesn't sound "brassy". The craftsmanship is equally as impressive, the mandrel bends are flawless as are the flanges. Fit and finish is perfect. These guys said they have been experimenting with all different brands of mufflers, and they found the magnaflow to give the best sound and performance, I believe them. . Again we could argue dyno numbers all day, but I think the significance is having a good baseline, so you can measure the amount of improvement, not the actual number. The coolest part was my 0-60 run. We have to enter the weight of the car, tire size and so on. I rev'd it up to 3,500 and dropped the clutch on the dyno rollers!! Damn, it was scary, the rollers are textured and actually screeched like pavement. Believe it or not my NSX pulled off a 4.37 seconds to 60!! We ran 2 tests because neither of us believed it. I explained to him that it impossible, the Type R doesn't even do that, and I have a targa!! After leaving, I looked at the sheet it printed out and I think I saw what happened. He put in that my car weighed 2995lbs, and I don't think he accounted for my different tire sizes (I'm running 265/35/18) Because of the weight the dyno put the wrong pre-load on the rollers, and the tire size threw off the 60mph reading, it thought I hit 60 when probably was at 58 or something. He said the 2002 he had in the shop ran 0-60 in 5 seconds flat, that sounded more like it. Regardless it was pretty cool.
As far as the 3.2, I would expect the same if not a tad bit more. Tuesday my exhaust is getting installed and I will have exact numbers then.
