Is there any positive experience with these types of mufflers? I know most go with the straight through design, but I know they would be way too loud and not sound the way I would like. I also was considering this because I don't want to lose any low end power by getting a straight through design. Low end is much more important then high end to me. I was thinking about looking into a Dynomax Super Turbo or possibly a Flowmaster. Any input is appreciated.

Finally got mine on. 2.5" Magnaflow cat, Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator, and Vibrant Street Power flat black muffler.

to revive from the dead as I didn't want to post in the official custom thread...

this member says he has drone on the freeway at 75 mph and im assuming he's at 3,600 rpm on the freeway. (225/45R17 tires with a 3sge beams motor which is same motor as mine)

I have a 57mm exhaust with 14 inch magnaflow resonator and magnaflow chambered 57mm inlet/outlet muffler



question is how much more hp can a straight through muffler be over the chambered design?

has anyone ever seen the inside of the magnaflow chambered muffler?

my plan is to get 2.5 inch piping after 57mm magnaflow resonator so it mates up with a 2.5 inch inlet/outlet magnaflow straight thru muffler. Since richee3 has droning at 75mph on freeway and he has catalytic converter will the sound be different for me if since I won't be installing catalytic converter? plus he has the vibrant ultra quiet resonator so it's a bit weird that his drones.

the vibrant straight thru muffler has an oval body of 5x9
magnaflow straight thru muffler has an oval body of 4x9

both mufflers and the same length and width. so in essence they should sound the same right?
