they should ship from Toronto if they are in stock.
I ordered mine last Thursday and they said they dont have it in stock and would take 7-10 days to get to their TO facility.

Mike@RRE might still have some for sale. I picked mine up from him. He might even give you a better deal too.

The guy told me they might be taking it down. Hopefully it works for you!! Good luck.

PS: My whole system is 3'' including the Magnaflow....they only offer the 3'' on that site.

Hey,
on their website it says that that exhaust is for Evo.
Is that the one you got?

Thanks!

Never mind! I was choosing 2011 and for that year they only have one for Evo. I chose 2009 and there it was. 2009-2011 same exhaust.

Had a Magnaflow on my RA. I agree with everything the OP wrote about it. I picked mine up last year, paid $540. I loved that exhaust so much, I bought one for my X. I sold my RA exhaust to a friend of mine, Sideshow on this forum. He loves it too... lol

For me, I found there was a bit of a drone at highway speeds in my RA. To be fair, however, I had a HFC installed. My X and Sideshow's RA with that exhaust installed and no HFC are actually pretty quiet at highway speeds. No droning, able to have a conversation with ppl in the back seat without raising your voice. I'll be adding my HFC to my X this week, and will most likely pick up a resonator to replace the neck-down section on the exhaust (right downstream of the cat flange) if I find it drones.

I am going to put in HFC with a mini muffler. Not sure if it makes any difference. But I guess resonator might be a good idea.

Personally speaking....I really don't mind at all. I don't there to be THAT much drone. As a matter of fact, I was really expecting it to be much louder.

If I open my sunroof or turn on the radio (even at normal volume), I pretty much don't hear it in the cabin.

I have a full 3" TBE including the long downpipe and it's not really that loud. I don't think you'll need a resonator IMO.

Now...if you had the Ultimate Racing cat-back with no mini-muffler/resonator...hahaha. Have you ever been around an RA/EvoX with a full UR set-up with no sound buffering? It's night and day compared to the Magnaflow.

i've got the magnaflow CBE as well as a UR long DP/Metal HFC... sounds great aggressive but not fart can like... but i'm still debating putting in a magnaflow resonator

slight drone on the highway when your on the throttle, if your just cruising on level highway you can barely hear anything

I'm getting the magnaflow delivered by the end of next week.. Can't wait. I'm just wondering where it bolts up to the cat does it taper down to stock cat size or stay 3" ?
