For Those Seeking QUIET Duals DUMPED!
Before (LOUD):
After (QUIET):
I just had the 3" Flowtech Afterburners removed from my dumped X pipe setup and replaced them with 3" Magnaflow 4x9 Ovals.
I can enjoy my car again!!!
Granted, the previous setup was damn mean sounding, but the sound levels at idle and drone at highway cruising speeds were wearing thin on me.
So, for those seeking a quiet setup, dumped at axle, with a clean, "tuned" sound to it, go with the Magnaflows.
Here's some great info which proved very accurate (most of us are familiar with this list):
The results in HP order:
1.Flowtech Warlock (open) 374.2 hp/ 333.1 tq
2.Bassani Real Street 373.7 hp/ 333.8 tq
3.Hooker Maxflow 373.5 hp/ 333 tq
4.Borla XS 373.3 hp/ 332.6 tq
5.Magnaflow 372.8 / 332.5 tq

No fitment issues. The Oval shape even keeps them further away from the fuel lines (which I wrapped in heat resistant tape this time).
Here's a view from behind the car:

How loud is it compared to a Loud Mouth or GMMG?

I know how loud the other mufflers are dumped under the car and for that very reason I'm going with either the Maganflows or the Borla Pro XS mufflers. Can you explain exactly how loud on a scale of 1-10 it is now at 1) idle, 2) low rpm under load like highway driving at 70-75mph in 6th gear, and 3) WOT? Also if there is any resonance/drone at any rpm?
The only problem with the Borla's is that they are a little larger 14x9.5" case, and that little extra bit makes a big difference in fitting them in the limited space.
It's very encouraging to see some good feedback on the Magnaflows though, thanks

I already have one of a quick stab while driving. Anyone want to host it?
Idle clips not taken yet.

Might have been due to the size of Hooker Maxflow mufflers. They are 5" thick and wide so you can't tuck them up and ground clearance would literally be 2 inches on a stock car.
