The first trick to understanding your Magnaflow exhaust tubing is that you’ll want to go larger to get more performance and better efficiency, however, you can go excessively larger, which will actually reduce your power and efficiency.
Magnaflow exhaust tubing size recommendations:
If you’re current tubing is 2 and ½ inches I recommend upgrading to Magnaflow exhausts tubing of up to 3 inches. If you are starting with upgrading a car rather than a truck, you’ll probably have anything from 1 and ¾ inches to something a little smaller or bigger. There are so many foreign vehicles, that it useless to predict the exact size. Here is the general advice: go between ¼ inch to ½ larger than your original size and you should experience a richer sound, more power, especially at slower speeds, and usually better efficiency.
Warnings about overdoing the size of your Magnaflow exhaust tubing upgrade:
Magnaflow exhaust, if not done to an extreme, will generally improve the efficiency causing your truck or car miles per gallon to be increased. Generally improved fuel mileage, is all you can ask for because if you use your Magnaflow exhaust upgrade to have a lot of fun and accelerate quickly, you can actually achieve poorer mileage than you ever could have before you upgraded your tubing to a Magnaflow exhaust!
The richer yet louder sound to be expected:
When upgrading to larger exhaust tubing, whether you go with Magnaflow, or other trusted brands available through links provided on this page, you need to be prepared for the louder sound. Some of you will be feeling excited about this, while other’s will be thinking about whether this’ll be worth it. First off, when ever you have new Magnaflow exhaust tubing or larger tubing by any other brand, it’ll start louder when it is first installed, and as time goes on that sound will reduce as carbon from your engine coats that resonating metal into something quieter. Secondly, the gain in efficiency, in this day in age of expensive gasoline, is worth a little noise.
In conclusion:
In conclusion, your engine will last longer and you’ll spend less in gas. Yes, it’ll be louder, but the gains in Auto Bravado’s mind and many of your minds, will conclude that a larger Magnaflow exhaust tubing, which should be and accompanied by a high flow muffler, whether it is by Magnaflow, or the good folk at Flowmaster and their incredible exhaust’s sound deadening technology, the gains/pros will overturn the losses. The cons of this upgrade being losing a quiet running car (a gain to many of you), which in time quiets up a bit, an inefficient and slower running vehicle, along with inferior performance, and excessive use of gasoline.
