i posted earlier in this thread on that same situation. where the magnaflow was slightly louder than stock and not worth the money. you can swap the mufflers for different ones. if you wanted to do that youre going to have to have piping made for them and be sure to get mufflers that are fairly close in size(before you have piping made and what not for a muffler swap you might as well pull the magnaflows off and see if you like it like that. if you do just have them straight pipe it.). the magnaflow mufflers have about 10" of piping that is bent that connects it to the y. i have the mufflers laying around if you want when i get a chance ill take a measurement of them.

 

Yea if you could please take a measurement for me that would be great.

I'm not saying I hate it but the car is fairly quiet. It does sound nice under heavier throttle and the car does feel a bit more open and free from the stock crap.

I wont fail an emissions test for a straight pipe would I? don't think so

 

i dont know the laws in canada, but since the mufflers have nothing to do with emissions you should be ok. they just muffle the sound, and yeah i was hugely disappointed with the magnaflow. everywhere i looked people sang its praises, but it was probably the priciest and least worth while investment ive made in a while. ill try and get that measurement for you tonight when i get home.

 

I wouldnt say i'm disappointed. They sound nice when you rip it but overall its not a loud system at all.

 

i hear ya. sorry for slacking on the measurements. ill do it before monday.

 

It will break in a little more. I took the resonator off and it got deeper and a tad louder but recently got a cat less downpipe. I am much more happy with the sound now. It is alot louder

 

it should be a lot louder you took the resonator and the cat off.

thats the problem with the magnaflow you have to modify it to make the car sound like it has an exhaust. it defeats the whole purpose of a bolt in catback, not to mention one thats $600+. if i had known before i bought it that it sounded only slightly louder than stock i would have just straight piped the car, had a larger diameter y pipe made, gone with the hogan catless down pipe, and kept the factory resonator. the car wouldve sounded way better and been far cheaper.

 

yea it is but just taking the resonator off didn't do the job for me. It was just a hair louder. Now I have a nice rumble at idle and it sounds much more aggressive

 

the measurements of the the mufflers are 13.75" long 8" wide and 5" deep. the piping that goes to the y is 10.5" long. 2.5" diameter. center inlet center outlet. sorry it took me so long to measure them. ive been busy.

 

thats my problem with this system. you shouldnt have to do a catless downpipe and a resonator delete for it to sound like that. it shouldve sounded like that with just the catback, or the exhaust should be half the price it is.
