Nice, mild sound.
I really love it!
What model is the muffler?
I might get one later on.

I went to a local muffler shop and the guy recommended this Universal Magnaflow muffler, so i went with it. Dont think it has an exact name, it said Universal Magnaflow on the box in the shop.

Also, will this muffler become louder after a few days and will removing a resonator make it MUCH louder or how will it sound like?

Red_Army

raspier. and louder. i ran my stock exhaust for quite awhile without one.

toshko321

ehhhh then i wont take off the resonator, i think the muffler just has to settle in for a few more days/weeks then it might change its tone a bit, maybe become a bit deeper or somethin?

yeah i'd advise you to not take off the resonator. it will become unbearable

toshko321

do u know if the sound of the muffler will deepen after a few more days/weeks or will it just remain the same?

nip tip woo!

The muffler is a 11225 Magnaflow muffler 2.25" in/out.
Unfortunately i got kinda ripped off because the muffler is $70 online and to install it at the shop is $75, but the guy told me if i buy it there and install it, it would be $200, fak.

Thats really expensive. I got my old magnaflow for 50 bux from a local shop brand new and since i bought it off em they installed for 10 bux.

Go back to the shop and tell them that the car doesn't run well with this muffler (actually you don't like the sound).

Then try this one:

Tell them to get you Magnaflow 14816 muffler or put back your original muffler. But this one is online b/w $170-200.
Then buy the exhaust online and go to another shop.
Just a suggestion.

nah im sticking with this muffler, even though i was a bit ripped off, **** happens.
i cant afford to go back and get stuff rewelded and do all that stuff over again, im sticking with this, it sounds perfect for now, im just wondering if the sound will change in a few days/weeks when it breaks in a bit

Red_Army

i don't have a resonator in mine. its ok but it could really use one.
normal driving isn't bad but at WOT i imagine i can be heard from a ways away.

That looks really nice! I would have liked to hear it rev over 3k rpm though, lol.

toshko321

lol so nobody knows if the sound changes after the muffler kinda breaks in after it has been driven on a few days/weeks...

Red_Army

no it won't. why would it decide to change sound?
i know it takes my hi flow cat about 10 15 to warm up. it's really irritating til then.

A lot of your older mufflers, glass packs, would change sounds with age. Ones made with this same process still will. I'm guessing more than likely it's a chambered muffler, so no it won't change with age.

FYI, running I'm running a mgnaflow muffler and resonator. Someone previously removed my cat and it's very raspy around 2800-3300rpm

magnaflows are straight through mufflers with packing in them, almost like a full-bodied glasspack, it should get louder after awhile, the magnaflows on my monte carlo did
