I'm was running Kooks LT's with cat'd mids and Magnaflow axle back in this video but I also have the KB Stage 3. I melted my cats. If your going to stay with the stock blower, the race cats should be fine up if your planing on up grading to a twin screw, you should consider not runing cat and using some Bullet Mufflers in their place. However, the Magnaflows without cats sound pretty good but just a touch on the loud side.

This one is before the KB but with Magnapacks and it was really loud.

I had a chambered muffler with my Kooks at 1st and it was annoying loud with a raspy tone
I changed to the Magnaflow rear system and it sounds awesome
Quiet at idle with a hint of power and like an F1 race car shift.gif breaking out of the gates of hell devil.gif at wide open 6000 rpm superhero.gif

We're running the Magnaflow 3" catback with the Kooks LT's and offroad X. We're very happy with it and it sounds amazing.

I have kooks long tube headers, Random Tech. cats, and a magna flow exhaust... Killer sound if you like to be heard about a mile away.... I'm not sure how long these cats will survive as I have 802hp at the back.. so far so good.. most likely will gut the cats and have Evo patch the program..Pete

Are all of you guys with Magnaflows running the regular 2.5" system?
I have the 3" Magnapack system with the round mufflers installed. I'm told it will be even louder than the regular system.
I'm going to be out of town for a while, but will start the install as soon as possible after my return (probably first weekend in August).

Let's see...where to start: Corsa (no drone, but a little raspy), Stainless Works (real loud and raspy), Magnaflow regular oval 2.5" (nice and mellow, no rasp...almost too quiet), FRPP GTA's (little rasp on startup, no drone at any speed, nice volume around town---you know you are in a performance car as opposed to the Magnaflows, get loud but not overbearing on hard acceleration). GTA's for me!!

I may have another system as well...but forget!!! hysterical.gif
