magnaflow exhaust on turbo set up
i searched through hmt few threads about mangnaflow mufflers, just seeing is any current members are still running there. i got the 12280 in the mail today for my ef. it has a 2.5 input and dual 2 out puts. its basically going to be set up sideways like the original si exhaust. my turbo down pipe is 2.5" and i am going to weld that to a 6" long 2.5 flex section that i got, then weld in my 2.5" magnaflow hi-flow cat. i am debating if i want to try to find a 2.5" resonator. i guess i ll try the exhaust system out firs without the resonator, then if tis too loud, ill add one in. i also need to find 2 exhaust tips that will slip onve the 2" piping that arent too big, kinda like the hks ef exhaust. not sure how bid the i.d. on the 03 acura tl exhaust tips are, but those would be perfect.
heres the muffler
flex section
hi flow cat and misc 2.5" piping
snapped a few new pics of the car

Re: magnaflow exhaust on turbo set up
I have 2.5 with nothing but a $20 thrush turbo muffler on it. nice and quiet but still sounds nice, I've heard those magnaflow mufflers on turbo cars, they are pretty noisy but not horrible. def. has a nice throaty sound to it.

Just run your afr's a hair richer once you hit a higher load (or on speed density systems once you start hitting a decent boost level, maybe above 4-5 psi). It won't make as much peak power, but it'll save the cat by running cooler egt's. If you try and keep your boost afr's near 11 at the leanest point (above the 4-5psi mark of course) you should be ok.
As for the muffler, I had the single 2.5" inlet/outlet on my old turbo'd b16 hatch. Sounded great, very quiet (a little too quiet for me, I like to cause a ruckus ), nice deep tone and no rasp. I think you'll like it.
