True Duals And Magnaflows
Has anyone done true duals and used maganflow magnapacks? I have heard all the 4 x 9 's and all those. I have never heard the magnapacks and am thinking about changing to those for clearance issues. Any suggestions welcome. I do not have headers yet and am not that worried about changing anything as i work at an exhaust shop.

What part number are you looking at? My car is nearly done, and will be done with two Magnaflow Part # 10416 mufflers. Might be a while before I can get some clips though. These mufflers are pretty much bullets with a little extra baffling from what I was told. I'm not sure what the Magnapacks are...

They sound great. A little deeper and maybe a little quieter than Dynomax bullets - but otherwise very similar. And like the Dynomax bullets, they can drone depending on your mods.
Here's a pic: With a Bassani X, and completely stainless.

I put the Magnapack Catback on my GF's Rustang GT and it sounds excellent ON THE OUTSIDE. However, it drones BADLY ON THE INSIDE. BEWARE of the long car rides. Trips to/from AC (2.5hrs) and Lake George (5hrs) gave me pounding headaches. I was ready to jusmp out of the car it hurt so bad. And this is with stock manifolds and mid section (exiting out the rear of course - mustang) I think it is mostly because of two reasons....
(1) it is a vert and it echos/resonates through the roof storage gulley.
(2) 5th in her car keeps the engine right around 2K
Might be better in a hard top but I can't even imagine what these would sound like on an LS1 dumped at the axle. My car has zero drone right now.
Also, I thought Magnapacks were being discontinued. I tried to purchase a pair of 3" in September when I bought the GF's exhaust (before I knew how it droned) and the vendor said that Magnaflow canceld his shipment request of the individual pieces because of they were phased out.

Yeah from what i know they have been cancelled but my supplier has a whole bunch left in stock in nearly every size. I think I will most likely do it. My buddy has them on his 04 gt with the bassani x pipe and they sound awesome. I have the flowmaster 1 chamber on right now and am looking for something with a little more clearance. I had glasspacks on at first and it sounded mean until you let off the gas and it sounded like a fart.

I think those are the same kind I have on mine. Do they come in both aluminized and stainless? If so, they might be the same. I got the stainless ones and love the way they sound. Different than regular bullets, a bit deeper. Very mean sounding. Like an old SBC chevy that was set up for the strip, and mine do exit out the back over the axle. No drone that I can tell.

14495 is the part number I will be using. 10416 is the universal 4" Round and I want to try the Magnapack. I'll be doing this in the next 2-3 weeks and will let everyone know what I think of them.

Yeah I got it at Speed Inc. they had never used this mufflers before. I actually had wanted to use the single chamberd flowmaster but they wouldn't fit, so I ordered these last minute. I was kind of worried about what it would sound like but I like it in the end. I'd love to hear my setup with sweet thunders too, just for comparisons, but I really like mine so I don't think I'd change it.
I wonder if Speed really liked the way my muffler's worked out and that's why they're using them now. That would be pretty cool.
Hey MeentSS02 did you come all the way up from Florida just to get work done on your car at Speed? Wow!
