Maxflow stainless steel mufflers (Magnaflow clones) with hangers and 4# tips OK, so I just had these put on about 2 months ago by a performance exhaust shop in my area. They sound great, but I'm thinking of going to muffler delete. I want $200 for the pair (includes mufflers, hangers and tips, ready to mount), plus shipping.
I'm looking to see if anyone is interested in buying them off me. They will come with hangers and 4" tips, ready to mount. Your exhaust guy (or you) will just need to cut the stock muffs off and weld these in. Fast and cheap job.
The mufflers are called Maxflow, made by a company called Jones (sometimes goes by Full Boar), but they are definitely Magnaflow "inspired" that are supposed to actually have higher flow than Magnaflow. Here's a video comparison showing slightly higher flow for the Maxflows:
And here's what the look like/sound like on my headers/tuned V:

These mufflers sell for $50 apiece http://www.summitracing.com/parts/jex-mf2468/overview/
The tips were about $35 a piece. The hangers were about $32. The labor to put them all together was what cost me the most, obviously. I'm looking to part with these all for the cost of materials, plus shipping.
Again, the muffs are still on. I'm just looking to see if there's interest in them before I go ahead with the swap.
Cheers,

Were you muffler delete before? I am muffler delete now (stock otherwise) and may want to tone down the drone a bit. I was curious how they compare seeing as you are headed that direction.

No, I was running stock mufflers before. There is slight drone that is like a hum at 1600 rpm, but I've gotten quite used to it.
The only cure for drone is 1/4 resonance pipes. Drone is a function of the pipes, not the muffler. Some pipes (like stock and Corsa) have chambers inside them designed to cancel drone using the same anti-resonance properties. So adding Magnaflows to your pipes won't stop the drone, but may change the frequency, probably bringing it lower. Just have your exhaust shop fab up some J-pipes.
Here's a link to a guy who installed them on his V2: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...ltz-pipes.html
He also links to a page with more theory on the basis for canceling resonance.
Of course, there are also Corsa mufflers, which contain a series of tiny anti-resonance chambers, but then you are talking $$$. J pipes are economical and get the job done.
