2.25" magnaflow exhaust?

Someone offered me a magnaflow cat-back, 2.25" piping for 200$... Used for only 1 year.

Do you think it's worth the money? Or should I wait to buy a full 2.5" exhaust?(for sound AND performance)
Also, do someone have this exhaust on their SS/NA and could post a video of how it sounds? I've searched on youtude and didn't find a 2.4 with a 2.25" exhaust...

Good idea, but I know that the GMPP exhausts have 2.25" piping, so I tought it might not be too bad for performance...

The stock catback has bends smaller than 2.25" I think you should buy it, I love my magnaflow CB.

why? torque loss wasn't a problem for me at all with a full 2.5 exhaust. only huge primaries on the bad-mab made my car lose some mid range torque

I have a pacesetter header with the small primaries and a 3 inch to 2.5 inch dp... (got this setup for cheap too)
I should be ok then with à 2.25 inch exhaust!
