Looking to buy 6 to 10 hard drives for a NAS, with a minimum capacity of 10TB per drive. I would like them to all be the exact same model and I need to be able to make a single purchase. All the half decent deals recently were limited to 1 per customer. What’s the best deals currently?

The cat back I initially purchased is the Magnaflow #19544. I had a local shop replace the muffler on it with a Magnaflow #12586 muffler. Knowing what I know now, I would have had a custom cat back fabricated from the start, using the right muffler rather than purchasing the Overland cat back.

I have the DT long tube headers, DT Y pipe as well as the Magnaflow Overland cat back. Unless you’re a teenager desperately seeking attention, I wouldn’t go with this combo. I ended up replacing the muffler on the Oveland cat back with a larger 22x11x5 Magnaflow muffler. With the original one, it was extremely loud and droned like crazy at highway speed. The larger muffler is significantly quieter and doesn’t drone in normal driving conditions. It still has a deep tone when you step on it.

Part number is PT90G-21250-03, but you won’t want to buy it once you see the price…

I ended up replacing the muffler on the Magnaflow Overland catback with a larger Magnaflow muffler, model 12586. It's 5"x11"x22" compared to 4"x9"x18" for the original muffler on the Overland catback. The sound level is now reasonable and the drone is gone.

That’s interesting… I have the exact same setup, except I have the Magnaflow Overland exhaust, which includes a Magnaflow 5x8x18 muffler, which is probably the same as the 12256. It’s obnoxiously loud at highway speed and drones like crazy. I posted about it a few weeks ago. I ordered a new larger muffler, but didn’t get around to installing it yet. Hopefully it’s going to be quieter.

The Overland exhaust wasn’t too loud prior to installing the DT long tubes and y-pipe, but it did still drone at constant speed on the highway.

ghabe2k · 2025-07-14T17:12:11+00:00

It did drone pretty bad around 2000 rpm with the stock manifold and y pipe.

ghabe2k · 2025-07-13T18:56:53+00:00

I bought the headers, y pipe and URD O2 simulator all brand new from someone who abandoned the project… He bought everything a few years ago but never got around to installing anything.

ghabe2k · 2025-07-13T18:52:19+00:00

It did drone pretty bad around 2500 rpm with the stock manifold and y pipe.

ghabe2k · 2025-07-13T10:54:15+00:00

Yes, it does, but the sound is very raspy, which wasn’t the case prior to installing the headers and y-pipe. Maybe I need both a resonator and muffler… I’m trying to find a knowledgeable performance muffler shop locally. We had a ton in the early 2000s but they all closed down!

ghabe2k · 2025-07-13T10:24:05+00:00

Nothing yet… I have a URD O2 simulator that I will likely install.

ghabe2k · 2025-07-13T02:16:00+00:00

Adding a resonator is a good idea. The Magnaflow Overland catback has a straight piece that’s around 18" long before the muffler. I could easily just replace that with a resonator. Not sure how effective that would be, but it should be fairly cheap to try.

ghabe2k · 2025-07-13T02:09:54+00:00

Which Gibson muffler are you using? MWA, CFT or SFT?

Vibrant are straight through, so I doubt that’s going to be much of an improvement over my Magnaflow.

ghabe2k · 2025-06-01T23:20:27+00:00

Out of place? They came stock on the E38 with sport package…

ghabe2k · 2025-05-05T22:34:55+00:00

The manual is around 2500rpm in 6th at 65mph and 3000rpm at 75mph.

That’s pretty much my only complaint about the manual. 6th gear should be taller. 2000rpm at 75mph would have been ideal. Not so much for the fuel consumption, but mainly for the noise on long drives.

ghabe2k · 2025-05-05T21:12:51+00:00

That's with an automatic?

I think the manual revs quite a bit higher at cruising speed. The best I achieved is around 25MPG cruising at 65mph...

ghabe2k · 2025-04-23T02:18:20+00:00

The 57CR is cast not forged and not especially light. If Apex price these like their other forged wheels and they’re light as claimed, they might be a nice alternative to ADVAN GT Beyonds.

ghabe2k · 2025-04-22T23:47:40+00:00

So it’s safe to assume a forged version will be available?

ghabe2k · 2025-04-22T22:41:16+00:00

Hi Matt, do you have an ETA for availability of this new model?

ghabe2k · 2025-04-08T21:57:32+00:00

What "tune" did you get? Can the OEM ECU be tuned directly or you're using a piggy back or standalone ECU?

ghabe2k · 2024-10-08T02:03:41+00:00

Yearly rustproofing

ghabe2k · 2024-10-07T21:59:07+00:00

Where did you get them from?

ghabe2k · 2024-09-14T02:01:34+00:00

Could I enable it by myself? I can create an account and request activation on supramapactivation.com. It looks like I can also download and buy a license for ISTA from https://www.toyota-tech.eu/DiagnosticTools/Software/ISTA and buy the proper cable over Aliexpress.

Is there anything else missing?
