    kewel beans! I'm planning on this mod sometime this spring or summer too! Let me know how you like. I can't decide between either the duel in duel out magnaflow muffler or duel magnaflow mufflers near the rear bumper setup.

    The more I thought about it, after getting the cold air intake put in and running on the dyno and seeing the MEAGER difference it made that a stock exhaust is to binding(even with a aftermaket muffler)....well see. I don't think that I would notice(or expect) a big diff in "get up and go", but it just makes sence.....A lot more air is being pushed into the engine and it needs room to get out.

    And the noise(PV2 muffler) is annoying after a while, I still want a growl and a nice hum but not like the PV.

    PS- Am I retarted, where is the gallery section?

    Were are you getting duals for $300 installed? The local shops around here charge at least $400 for any custom work.

    I did a bit of searching and saw people posting about a "Y" pipe installed for back pressure.....now is this for people with a stock motor?

    I'm going with a Magnaflow 2 in 2 out with no Y pipe, I'm running with a SC. It's almost common sense(to me) that with a SC pushing more air in, giving room to push air out is a no brainer.

    anyone?

    Since you have a s/C you are correct, you dont want much back pressure. A lot of people including me run a single in dual out muffler to Y their exhaust into duals. You can run true duals if you want dut the power difference on your motor will not be much different than a good Y setup nd be les expensive to fab. Magnaflow is good stuff, they are my second choice after my mufflers so i think you will be pleased. Let us know how it turns out.

    Morgan-tec,
    Not to hi-jack this thread, but did you ever get that sound clip of your muffler? I'm thinking about doing a muffler upgrade, but I'm VERY concerned about the sound I get. I don't want the raspy, try to make it sound like a V8 (which of course it cannot) sound - I want a more mellow European sound like an old Jag, Ferrari, etc.
