Do you have them welded to where they are facing straight down towards the road? If so you should angle each of them off at 45* towards the outside of the car. If that's how you already have it you've just got to deal with it.

if you dont want it in the car you will have to bring it out back otherwise a different muffler is your only choice.

Hey Merv., running alittle rich are ya , I'm thinking of trying a turndown, i'm running a MadZ tune set-up for nitrous, but i'm surprized at the lack of fumes in the cabin, its non existant, but i can tell its on the rich side, but not bad, heck even with it running in the storage unit its not too bad, & he pulled a good 2* of timing out on the tune, you must be running FAT.

Yup, it's pretty quiet with the Magnaflow, but still loud compared to most cars. Then with the Cutout open, it's nuts..
