Magnaflow Muffler help

Ok, My magnaflow exhaust SUCKS....and I am assuming it is the round and ricey looking muffler I have that is the problem. I want to change my muffler and tip for looks....and cause my sound right now is rediculously ricey.

I am gonna get my muffler off of ebay for like 60 bucks and I need some help finding one that sounds good. I want it as quiet as possible. So I need tips on selecting the quietest muffler. Any help is greatly appreciated




Mods: GM Stage 2 w/ 2.9 pulley, K&N Typhoon intake, ZZP header/dp combo, custom 2.5 magnaflow exhaust, B&M sts, Ingalls Torque Dampener

I love Magnaflow! It will sound ricey if you do not install a resonator.

I went with 2 Magnaflow mufflers (mainly for looks), but it also quiets it down b/c there's 2 mufflers muffling the sound instead of 1.

So dual exhausts would be good for you.

& My exhaust part #'s are 14826. Check out my cardomain if you want to see what they look like.

My magnaflow sounds awesome, but like previously stated, you also need their resonator. It will tone down the rice a little.

But what muffler should I get? Should I get an oval maganaflow muffler??? Should the inlet and outlet be centered or offset? How long should I get? The longer the quieter correct???? I want help selecting the best muffler I can. Will the resonator help a lot ora little cause mine needs A LOT of help. I have the whisper resonator ordered...

Your exhaust sounds sick dude. Where did you get your magnaflow exhaust from. I'm thinking of buying the magnaflow 2.5 catback exhaust for my g5 gt.

I went with an 18" magnaflow with an offset inlet/outlet. it is a 5x8 oval.

Crossing fingers.
