Muffler inlet/outlet question

I am buying a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler. Part #17748, it is 2.5", and it says offset/center. (I believe this is the largest 2.5" Super Turbo they make).

My question - Does it matter which side I use for the inlet? I'm fairly sure it doesn't, but I know glass-packs can be "reversed" for different sounds.

Lastly, would a offset/offset be quieter than a offset/center? I read somewhere it might make it quieter.

Thank you guys

i'm running an offset/offset superturbo but it's a 3", I believe it fits a lot better if both sides are offset.

Really? I thought offset/center fit nicely but then again I haven't owned anything else.

What was the part number of yours? I want the biggest one in 2.5" that I can get!

Is it quiet? Are you catless?

The one your buying will be fine. I have a dynomax superturbo ofset/centre muffler and it fit with no issues. The sound is good to not raspy or loud. Post a vid once you get it installed.

It's very quiet cruising and at low rpms, from 3-3.5k there is a rasp due to being catless. When I lay on it, it barks pretty good.

Not sure it may I just went by what others have said and everybody found the center/offset fit perfectly. It did for me anyway.

yeah exactly man worse comes to worse if it doesn't fit then you'll know you need to get a offset/centre instead.

you'll be fine man magnaflow mufflers usually don't have any issues with fitment.
