I used magnaflow mufflers 3 inch duels

Some claim its loud, but to be honest if I am driving, the radio EASILY can be heard over the exhaust. Then again I also consider my car streetable and some would not.


Clearence.... if you don't suck at driving you will only bottom out on horrid roads, going to fast down the interstate and bottom out on a bridge (happend). Steep inclines that taper off to quick.

Nice. Love those Magnaflows. Why listen to the stereo when you can listen to that?

Hey:

Moroso Spiral flows, sound good, come in Stainless or mild steel, and perform very well.

i hate flowmaster catbacks, but the only ones worth buying are the 10 series or 1 chamber mufflers. sound real nice and flow well.

Because at 55+ the car does not sound that good, it may sound good to people on the outside but I do not want to hear it, plus my exhaust rattles the damn car to hell. I can tell if the engine is not running right if I hear different rattles lol

Magnaflow here and its no louder than my old Borla. I will go as far as to say the idle may be a tad more quiet.

Its a dual in and out Magnaflow.
Pics and sound clips in sig.

Like I said I have borla xr1s and I went from a borla catback and I noticed the same thing.

At least at idle. With no cats even, some people have actually commented that my car is "quiet". It's quieter than with my old open borla (essentially two cats and no muffler).

I think it's louder under WOT though.

WOT isnt much louder than idle.... its loud all the time. the idle doesnt sound loud in the video clip but it is very bassy, which is what i wanted. but a bassy sound also travels. Standing next to it doesnt seem very loud, but i can be in my apartment and its almost as loud as if i was outside next to it. Likewise, inside the car isnt a very pleasant experience but i think some dynomatting will fix that.

My Dynomax's got dumped at the axle, boy is it loud. I have the 3 inch version though running through the Edelbrock shorty headers with a homemade x-pipe. I liked how the Mags sounded but I like both the Flowmasters best. I think the cam kinda helped the tone on both. If I had the money I would love a set of Xr1s.
