If you thought your BMW 328i sounded good with its OEM performance exhaust system, you haven’t heard anything yet. You can give it a powerful aftermarket boost with a new BMW 328i Magnaflow exhaust system. Magnaflow, a market leader in aftermarket parts for BMWs and other performance cars, really knows what they’re doing when it comes to auto mods, so you can count on their BMW 328i Magnaflow exhaust parts to be among the best available for your baby.

Magnaflow has been a power player on the domestic car scene, but they’ve recently picked up their participation in the European performance car mod scene as well. The company has done years of research at their state-of-the-art factory – which includes their peerless dyno cell to test their parts – to ensure that their line of BMW exhaust systems are top of the line. If you want your sleek BMW to roar with the sound of a classic American muscle car, then outfitting it with a complete BMW 328i exhaust system is the way to go.

What a Difference a Magnaflow Makes

A complete BMW 328i Magnaflow exhaust overhaul is dyno tested to boost your car’s performance by at least 10 hp and 15 ft. lbs. of torque. You’ll hear and feel the difference every time you rev the engine. That deep, throaty growl is the mark of high quality performance and engineering specs.

• Construction: The BMW 328i Magnaflow exhaust line is made our 100% pure stainless steel, and features a straight-through, wide open muffler for maximum performance. The exhaust system is made with full mandrel bends instead of compression bends for the best flow, and is guaranteed to fit your BMW 328i perfectly. In addition, it’s designed to bolt up directly with the OE system, so if you’re the typical DIY car enthusiast, you should be able to install it yourself in under an hour. How’s that for high performance?

If you’re looking for maximum boost in sound and performance for your European car, swapping out the OEM exhaust for the high-powered performance of a BMW 328i Magnaflow exhaust system is just the ticket.

Muscle Up Your Baby with a Dodge Charger Magnaflow Exhaust Overhaul


Take a step back into history and power up your new Dodge Charger with a complete Dodge Charger Magnaflow Exhaust overhaul. If there’s any car synonymous with America’s muscle car heritage, it’s the Dodge Charger. Muscle car lovers go all misty-eyed at the thought of the classic early 70s Charger SE models, with its sleek lines and its beautiful, deep growl of a purr. Alas, later models fell victim to restrictive energy standards, and American muscle car enthusiasts had to wait until 2006 before Dodge Charger reclaimed its place in the muscle car lineup. If you’re in love with your Charger but wish for the roar-and-purr power of the real power cars, a Dodge Charger Magnaflow exhaust system can take you back to the dulcet tones of the General Lee and its muscular compatriots.

The Magnaflow Difference

When you swap out the Charger’s OEM exhaust with a new aftermarket Magnaflow, you get the benefit of years of engineering research and design that has made Magnaflow one of the top names in aftermarket performance components for muscle cars like the Dodge Charger. Magnaflow exhaust systems are made of 100% stainless steel with chrome highlights where appropriate. They feature mandrel-bent tubing instead of compression bends to maximize air flow, and wide open, straight-through mufflers for awesome sound. The Dodge Charger Magnaflow muffler is encased in stainless, with stainless steel end caps and a perforated core. The stainless steel advantage resists corrosion, reflects heat and retains its finish longer, keeping your exhaust system looking as good as it sounds.

And it does sound sweet. The Dodge Charger Magnaflow muffler is packed with a high-temp, sound-absorbing material that filters out the harsh vibrations and produces a deep, bass growl of sound when throttling and a whisper-soft performance purr when idling or cruising at highway speeds.

Did we mention performance? A new Dodge Charger Magnaflow exhaust system can boost performance and torque up to 10 hp and 15 ft. lbs., and maximizes your gas mileage at the same time.

Give your American muscle car what it needs to really show its stuff. Invest in a Dodge Charger Magnaflow exhaust system to boost performance and take you back in time to a time when muscle really meant muscle.

2008 Honda Accord K&N Air Filter and Intake Upgrade Boosts Performance


A 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter and intake upgrade can give your sleek little machine a serious power boost. The solid, reliable, roomy Accord has been a standard bearer for family sedans for years, but recent upgrades and changes may leave you longing for more power where it really counts.

The Honda Accord has changed significantly since the first one rolled off the assembly lines in 1976, but its reputation has remained strong. The Accord is a solid, roomy, reliable machine that retains its resale value for years. The 2008 Honda Accord got a stylish new look that’s added to its desirability. The only hitch in the Accord’s bright reviews is power – the 2008 Honda Accord comes in two different 4-cyl engine flavors – 2.4L and 3.5L. Four cylinders are enough to get you where you’re going, but if you like a little extra oomph under the hood, you may have to do a little aftermarket modding. One of the simplest upgrades – taking just about an hour and a half of your time – is replacing the OEM air filter and intake box with a custom-crafted 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter and cold air intake replacement.

K&N, known throughout the automotive world for their custom-crafted aftermarket parts, have been designing air filter replacements for over 40 years. Rather than creating a knock-off of the factory part, K&N engineers get down to the design level and figure out how to modify the OEM engine parts to deliver more performance and better fuel performance. The 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter will fit the standard Accord filter box, providing a permanent replacement for the factory-installed paper air filter. You’ll get up to 50,000 miles before the air filter needs attention. At that point, you can remove it, rinse it clean and reinstall it. The 100 percent oiled cotton filter is designed for maximum air flow, which will increase your engine’s performance.

If you want to take your mods a step further, K&N also makes an entire air intake system for the 2008 Honda Accord. Their own tests show a reported 11.13 horsepower increase at 5600 RPM after the installation of the 2008 Honda Accord K&N air filter and intake system. The air intake system replaces the factory air box with a heat shield assembly that ensures a consistent flow of fresh air, which provides increased power and excellent filtering.

Honda Ridgeline K&N Air Filter and Intake Boosts Performance


If you’re looking for a serious power upgrade for your 2006, 2007 or 2008 Honda Ridgeline, K&N air filter upgrade is custom made for you. No, seriously. K&N, the world’s most recognizable name in aftermarket upgrades, offers custom-crafted air filters for hundreds of makes and models of motor vehicles. The Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter upgrade kit is designed to take advantage of the Ridgeline’s unusual construction and specs.

The 2006-2008 Honda Ridgeline offers some truly distinctive features, things you just won’t find in other pickup trucks. Those include unibody construction, a transverse-mounted 3.5 liter V-6 engine and four-wheel independent suspension. High quality construction deserves the best aftermarket treatment, and with a Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter, that’s exactly what you get.

K&N engineering has designed the K&N air filter and intake specifically to work with the Honda Ridgeline’s computer specs, so it maximizes power while allowing almost completely unimpeded air flow. The result of a full Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter and air intake installation is an impressive horsepower gain of 9.70 at just over 5,000 revs. While you may not notice much difference at lower revs, once you hit the 4,000+ mark, you’ll swear you’ve swapped out the Ridgeline’s fuel-efficient V-6 for a fully powered monster V-8.

K&N engineers took advantage of the unique features of the Ridgeline’s construction to introduce a few mods that give your engine serious power. The large con Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter removes the factory restrictions on air intake, and tapped into the fresh air duct on the 2006-2008 Ridgeline body to feed extra air into the custom high-intake air filter. Since the air from this intake is shielded from the high engine temperature, it hits the engine cold and provides an additional boost to horsepower.

Topping off the performance bonus, K&N uses great-looking parts – the polished intake tube adds a distinctive look on your Ridgeline’s engine. And, like all K&N air filters, the Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter is a permanent replacement – just pull out the air filter, rinse it and reinstall it.

K&N says it takes about 40 minutes to install the air intake kit and lifetime filter on your Honda Ridgeline, but reports from the field suggest that you should give yourself about 90 minutes before you have to be somewhere. If that’s a little more complex than you want, you can opt for the Honda Ridgeline K&N air filter alone – just pull out the old filter, drop in the new replacement filter and you’re good to go.
