Replacing stock muffler with this...

http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...1_751040_12131

Magnaflow 14325
Universal muffler
4 x 9" oval stainless steel
2¼" inlet/outlet
14" length


Anyone here have this on their car? Whats the sound like at highway speeds, I don't want something that will drive me nuts.
I'm going to run it on my stock exhaust system + my Injen CAI.

I ve been thinking about putting a custom catback together using a muffler very similar to this one, but I want to add a resonator in too, anyone have any feed back?

I have a custom made 2.5" catback, with Magnaflow resonator and Borla turbo muffler. Sounds great.

Edit - I actually just did the axleback and muffler first. Sounded good, but replacing the stock resonator with a Magnaflow later really "cleaned up" the sound if that makes any sense. When I get on it, it screams. When I'm not on it and just crusing at low RPM, you can't even tell I have an exhaust. Until I downshift

Just don't too big of piping because you'll loose low-end torque. But, you'll gain top-end.

Go for something like a 2.1/4" or 2.5". Cat-back with a resinator and your fartcan at the end.

This is the one that Magnaflow uses in their cat-back setup:

They have it in stainless too if you want it to look nicer.
