I'm looking into buying the Magnaflow 15157 exhaust system. I love the way it sounds and looks. Is this a good decision? Any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Wow! That sounds amazing! Thank you for sharing! Has it given you any problems and does it drone? Thank you once again.

It does at certain rpms, like 2200 rpms. But you will get used, i prefer drone than rasp like rice civic

I had the Magnaflow on mine and really liked it...nice deep tone, not loud, and little to no rasp or drone. The only issue I had was that it took a bit of tweaking of the hangers/tailpipes to get things lined up evenly in the bumper cutouts. You may not even need to do that as mine was very early in the production run.

If you like a deeper tone, go with Magnaflow. It's loud yet not raspy.

I have the Magnaflow catback and I love it. I had one years ago on a VW GTI VR6 and it sounded mean. I listened to every sound clip I could get my hands on when choosing my exhaust for my FR-S and I fell back in love with the deep sound of the Magnaflow, especially when paired with a UEL header (I run Tomei). A little bit of drone on the highway, especially if the rear seats are down. But even my wife's ears can deal with it.

You can have an exhaust shop build you the exact same exhaust, mandrel bent, buying the magnaflow mufflers at full retail, and you'll save hundreds. But if you need their name on the exhaust, it's awesome.
