Default can u mount a magnaflow offset/center muffler backwards??? will it still work the same?

magnaflow makes mufflers in offset/center style but not in center/offset. my buddy was talking about using it backwards to have the center conecting to the pipe and the offset facing outwards. i told him i dont know if the mufflers can do that and still perform how they are suppost to. does anyone know?

A. I'm pretty sure you can NOT do that... they are baffled... so if it went backwards it wouldn't hit the baffles properly... I'd call or email them for a definitive answer...

B. Check summit or Jegs... I'm sure they'll have the best "retail" price.

you can use anything you want.... glass packs are pretty harsh though... they usually encourage the raspy popy angry bee sound.

I believe all magnaflow universal mufflers are straight through with a perforated core and they can be used in either direction.

So I hear. I couldn't understand it not working if it was chambered but I don't believe thats the case. Mine is mounted how you specified and it works perfectly fine.

Yup right on the first page when you check "universal fit"...

"*All mufflers are reversible for custom installation."...


My bad.
