Magnaflow bullets? I tried a search but couldn't come up with much.
How loud are the 12'' Magnaflow bullets? Are they louder than any of the other bullet style mufflers people are using for true dual setups?
Thanks!

Outside they're more 'muffled' sounding than regular bullets - BUT - Inside the car isn't much different at all. Slightly quieter, but not much. They're only 2.5" too - that fit anyway. The 3" version looks like a bazooka - 6" round.
They'll drone like bullets too. Again - not as bad, but it's(the drone) is still there.

Here's Magnaflows mufller offering: http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...ne=main&id=351
The shortest is 14", unless you go race series where a 6" is offered.
The smaller the body diamter the less packing it contains so the louder it will be. The 4" diameter ones WILL be loud. The 6" diameter ones less so, but they certainly won't be anywhere near refined.
Also the longer the muffler the more time the exhaust gas spends in it, so the lower the db level and the more toned the exhaust note will be.
You'll want the 3" inlet/outlet ones BTW.

I agree. Thanks!

If you want to hear them (albeit not in person), go to LS1Sounds.com and find my 3 vids. My duals use the 2.5" in and out Magnaflow bullets, so you can decide for yourself.

And as for noise/sound it's often pretty personal and what is refined to one person may be outragiously (sp?) loud to another.
And anyhow how can Quoting muffler sizes from Maganflow and providing a link to their site rub you up the wrong way, do you not like facts or something????? No seriously I don't get. My post was like 95% fact with supporting links and only 5% subjective which in it's self was based off of information provided to me from Magnaflow and general knowledge of how exhausts and mufflers work.
Oh BTW I (and I guess many others) would consider refined to be "near" stock. If it's louder and more obtrusive or has any drone (which most systems do, however people often ignore or claim differently) then it is not refined, but sporty, loud, agressive, purposeful or what ever your description

The issue at hand isn't your opinion. Actually, I guess it is. What is at issue is that you have never heard these mufflers in person, yet are offering advice to other people on them. If you ever want me to take you seriously:
1. Spell checker...just give it some consideration. Any consideration would be nice actually.
2. Stop using the word "fact" when all you are doing is pulling random bits and pieces of information off the internet. I (and I guess many others) would consider it to be a bit more credible if you actually presented it in the original context, instead of making it fit the point you are trying to make.
Bottom line: stop giving us theoretical bullshit about things you have no experience with. Seriously.
