Magnaflow CatBack Driving Me Nutts! Midpipe Question
Good Afternoon,
My Magnaflow Cat Back 15684 is droning and is too loud.
I proposed putting a resonator on the 3" midpipe and the local exhaust shop said it would hit the driveshaft.
Has anyone placed a muffler or resonator on a 3" midpipe? Any clearance issues?
Are there any direct fit replacements for the magnaflow muffler?
Many thanks!

I believe that is called a Mid Pipe or a I pipe. The Y pipe is connected to the exhaust manifolds.
I'm glad to hear there is clearance there! I gotta change the tone of this exhaust. The drone is horrible after I put in the "small cam and LS6 intake."
Did that bullet muffler quiet it down inside the car? Was it noticeable?

Yes it's in the I pipe section. I went from a LM1 resonator to the 14419, so it's quieter overall. Much deeper tone, but without the rasp, and still is very loud at WOT

I'd suggest a different exhaust shop then. Unless your catback is installed incorrectly or somehow not sitting where it should under the car there should be plenty of room for some sort of bullet muffler or resonator in that location. I have a bullet muffler in roughly the same spot on my car right now. Granted it's only there for a temporary fix to not having a full catback but it still fits just fine.

There most certainly IS room there. I have a Borla XR1 in my I pipe that I put there to eliminate drone and the exhaust shop had no problem getting it in, and it has a 5" outside diameter. Like others have said, probably best to go somewhere else to get it done.
