Default Difference between these Magnaflows

Made up my mind on getting magnaflow mufflers to go with my 3" True Dual Xpipe setup. Now just wondering if there is a big sound/volume difference between the 14419 bullet and 12229 oval mufflers? Compared in both dumped and out the back setups??

Don't know much about the 12229, but I run the 14419 Magnaflow, and it has a smooth deep tone, but still is damn loud at WOT! Obviously it's not a very big muffler lol

The 14119 will be noticeably louder, even at idle.

I have generic bullets and ran out the back, its loud but sounds like donkey ***. Think I might do the 12229's but dumped to stay to close to that volume level but sound better...

I run the Magnaflow 11219 mufflers on my dumped true dual. They have a deep rumble and are not very loud at idle or cruising. I can drive with windows up or down the exhaust is just noticeable. At WOT they get pretty loud but not bullet or open header loud.

Crap, another muffler option, lol. Is that just a different length than the 12229? Sounds like what I'm trying to achieve though. No drone either? Do you have cats on it?

The Magnaflow 11219 is a 4"x9" case with 3" center inlet and outlet. The 12229 is a 5"x8" case with an offset inlet. The 11219 is 1" thinner than the 12229. No drone at all and no cats, Just 1 3/4" headers 3" true duals with X pipe dumped before the axle.

Thanks man, I appreciate the info! The 11219 sounds like what I'll go with.

Also, do you angled turn downs on your setup? Heard that makes a difference.

My tips are angled down and out. The tips make a big difference I had no tips on at 1 point and the exhaust resonating and bouncing around under the car made everything on the interior vibrate and rattle.



Here's a video it's not the best quality, but you can get the idea.

Anytime you can direct the sound waves away from the under carriage/car it'll cut down on interior drone and vibration.
