My friend Jimmy (aka Nucking Futs!) also mentioned that they look like maganflow mufflers.

I honestly don't think they are, but we'd have to compare both actual products in person.

I still don't think they are though, but that's just because I have trust in Gintani's products.

I got stands and tools

DevJ · 09-24-2009, 04:32 PM

Nawaaz- those are very close to looking/sounding like magnaflows. Maybe Gintani bought them from Magnaflows and did some modifying to them?

Blake · 09-24-2009, 04:38 PM

they're definitely magnaflows. it's not surprising. there aren't many shops out there capable of fabricating mufflers that aren't just echo chambers aka circular bent sheet metal. gintani isn't big enough of a company to fabricate their own mufflers. i'm not doubting their fabrication of everything else, it all looks excellent. clean welds, smooth lines, etc. better than that shit exhaust stett put on my car.

the tips are definitely custom cut, fit, and welded though.

it's all good, great looking exhaust!

I have no idea man......I just did my research the best I could, and chose the best system for what I was looking for.
It looks pretty good to me.

I guess you have an honest and valid point Blake.

The main reasons I chose this full system was because I read that it was the best sounding, and made the most power. I'll find out the truth once the system's on and after I do my dyno at the end.
