so im deciding on which muffler to get. im stuck between the magnaflow 12865 or the Borla S-Type part # 40842S. being that the borla is only about $100 more than the magnaflow, money isnt really my main concern. my main concern is the sound. which would sound better on my sx koup?

also, i noticed that some mufflers have a 2.5" inlet/outlet and some have 2.25" inlet/outlets and that both were used by some of you on your koups. do they make a differnce? or can i get either outlet/inlet size, and the muffler shop will be able to install either one with ease?

I just had a dynomax super turbo mini installed and it sounds great. Idk about the magnaflow or the borla (i've heard chambered mufflers aren't good for 4 cyl's). Anyway, I used a 2" in, 2" out, center/offset. Hope that helps.

the 2" inlet and outlet wasnt a problem when you had it welded right? like it wasnt too short or something. sorry if i seem slow, im not too sure about the reason behind different sizes on each end of the muffler.

how much did that muffler cost you?

Maybe this thread might help in your decision making ?

Good luck and keep us posted.

ive seen this video many times, and its the main reason why i'm leaning toward magnaflow! ive seen aidens videos and it sounds great, but i dont plan on putting a cai in anytime soon, so i just want a stand alone muffler that sounds good. thanks for your input!

You're correct. I had the muffler welded on by a local shop. The one I got was 18.5" end-to end (14" shell). No problem with the questions. I was nervous too, but did a bit of research, myself.

I bought the muffler from a local speed shop and paid about $39. The install was only $30.

As for the muffler- it's a little loud, but needs to break in some. It's a very low, mellow tone; not raspy at all and at idle, I can barely hear it rumble.

thanks alot for this info, i appreciate it.


K.I.A..you have the magnaflow 12865 right? hows your mpg with it?
