Hey there peeps......I am planning to get a Magnaflow Oval, and I am debating on getting a muffler tip for it or not......but it will defintely be paited flat black......does anyone have pics of their oval with a tip on it? and if you do what kind?......or should i just get the thing welded on, and call it a day?

anyone?

 

you can see pics of the muffler with no tip on their site. I suggest you don't ad any tip on there. That was the only reason holding me back from gettting a cat back.

 

 

my magnaflow without a tip....dont get one! (a TIP THAT IS)

heres my old one....

its not a oval. its the round body kind.

 

would it be better to get the stainless steel one and paint it black (for rust reasons)
or should I get the aluminum one and paint it black?

 

personally, i'd put an oem 99-00 si tip on it

 

I got the SS one and painted it. but it also looked good SS. Really high quality finish.

........did you have to sand it to paint it?

 

nope just clean it very well with dish washing soap and water. I still actually have the muffler. The paint never came off or chipped or faded. I used 1000degree high heat satin black paint.

The muffler is actually on a turbo 4age powered 72 Corona

 

well thats the plan then.......thanks for the info bcruz

 

i'm looking for an oval muffler myself, preferrably, 3" inlet/outlet.

are the magnaflow oval mufflers a straight through design and perforated core?

yup I think so.....but you can check on the website to make sure though

the site says perforated core but, is it a straight through design?

 

I dunno but I am able to see through across on mines. You can drop a marble and it'll fall straight out.

 

Get an s2000 tip

 

my 3" in/out magnaflow. this was before i painted it flat black...
old pic too.

 

i say leave the tip off...but have fun cleaning your bumper

mounted properly like my pic above, you won't need to clean it any extra.

my muffler is almost up against my rear bumper and it still gets black with no tip.

 

that sucks it gets all black your car is sick though

 

Does anyone know how these sound without a resonator. I also have 2.25" piping.

 

with no resonator, no cat, and 2.5" piping, you'll sound like a bee glued to a megaphone
