Yes, from the several videos I have seen the Magnaflows have always been quieter. Haven't heard them in real life tho.

me either and they sound different to me in videos too. they almost seem a little deeper than the bullets. how are you liking your duals with bullets?

I used to have magnapacks, never used them though. Those things have huge cases and I didnt feel like working with them and clearancing.

Instead I picked up some Moroso Spiral Flows and they work and sound great.

I have the magnapacks they have them in different sizes mine are 4in round 3inlet and 3outlet mine are quiter than the bullets and I think they have a better sound. From what I have heard of the bullets on friends cars they have more of a loud straight pipe sound out on the interstate theirs dont quietn down at higher speeds where mine do. Also I think my magnapacks have the same magnaflow sound as the catbacks just a little louder!

The Magnaflows are quieter, alittle, because they have alittle more sound deadening material. I used to run an h pipe with 2 dynomax bullets up front and 2) 6" Magnapack out back. It got loud after 2 years. I switched to a
2 1/2" X pipe with 2 ) 4" Magnapacks up front and 2 ) 6" out back. The x pipe and Magnaflows sounded way better and produced the best sound. I've had several compliments on the sound of my car. It's been 3 years and they too are getting louder. Sorry but I have no way to post a clip

ok.. so the point im getting at with this thread is do you guys think my car would have a better tone with the magnapack dumped before the axle than it does now with the bullet dumped before the axle?

I dont have a way to post a sound clip either but I think you would like the sound over the bullet. You going to run a single? If so go for it its only like $60 bucks and like I said I think you will like it!

I have thought about doing a true dual setup with magnapacks, but not too sure how it would sound, and the space issue

well i just have a single bullet now. and im contemplating either getting the single magnapack to try it. or save and get me a summit x pipe and either another bullet or 2 magnapacks. but i do know that i don't like tips and either way i go it will stay dumped.
