Construction & Design

The Magnaflow SPEQ Series exhaust system is crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, known for its exceptional resistance to corrosion and heat. The 3” mandrel bent tubing maintains consistent diameter throughout bends, optimizing exhaust flow and minimizing restrictions. The Tru-X crossover X-pipe is engineered to improve exhaust scavenging, which helps increase engine efficiency and power delivery.

Special attention is given to the resonator design with dual NDT resonators that eliminate cabin drone without sacrificing the aggressive exhaust note. The use of race-inspired V-band clamps ensures a secure, leak-free connection that withstands thermal expansion and contraction over time. The black chrome tips not only enhance the visual appeal but are also designed to resist discoloration and corrosion.

Performance & Sound

This cat-back system delivers a deep, assertive exhaust tone that intensifies under throttle, providing a performance-focused sound signature that complements the twin-turbocharged 3.0L Hurricane engine. Thanks to the NDT resonators, the system maintains a comfortable, drone-free experience during highway cruising, making it suitable for daily driving as well as spirited performance use.

The optimized exhaust flow reduces backpressure, which can contribute to improved throttle response and overall engine efficiency, enhancing the driving experience without compromising comfort.
