Any reason not to buy Magnaflow?

+2 sometimes I wonder if LBM is some autobot with a massive database...

Any pics or videos????

Necro of an old post... 409 stainless steel is what the factory exhaust is made of. Same stuff.

I had a Magnaflow on my E60 M5, and loved it.

I'll probably get one for my E90 M3 and will let you know how it goes.

Ferritic Stainless Steels
The lack of other alloying elements means
ferritic stainless steels are known as plain
Chromium steels. They have a Chromium
content between 12 and 18%. The carbon
content in ferritic stainless steels is very
low.
Ferritic stainless steels:
􀂋 Have moderate corrosion resistance
􀂋 Are not susceptible to stress corrosion
􀂋 Are magnetic
􀂋 Cannot be hardened by heat treatment
􀂋 Are always used in the annealed
condition
􀂋 Poor weldability for most grades
Common ferritic grades include the
proprietary grade 430 stainless steel and
the cheapest stainless steel, grade 409
stainless steel. 409 stainless steel is the
material of choice for automotive exhausts
due to its combination of low price,
corrosion resistance and excellent
formability.

isn't the gintani muffler just a rebranded magnaflow in the first place?

you can try a borla (same price range).

From a trusted expert in Stainless steel exhaust systems, and one of our favorite manufacturers, comes this bolt-on rear exhaust section for all 2008, 2009 and newer E92 M3 (coupe only). This system is light, weighing in at only 34 lbs -- 21 pounds lighter than stock! This exhaust flows much more freely with less restriction than the stock rear muffler section, and offers a great "moderately aggressive" sound, complete with Borla's signature deep sound. It allows the M3's V8 engine note come out, while still remaining tame enough for the street. It's made of the highest grade T-304 stainless steel, and has beautifully made symmetrical 3.5 inch quad exhaust tips. Best of all, this exhaust is a direct bolt on fitment, which does not require any cutting, welding or splicing to install. Made in the USA.

Nope, Gintani's muffler design is proprietary. I've installed Gintani and Magnaflow both, and they are completely different.
