Custom Exhaust Magnaflow (Hopefully not too loud)

Hey Guys,
Finally got my exhaust sounding like what I was expecting. A big part of the problem was the stock resonator, seems that it is basically a straight pipe, I don't see any perforation in the tube etc. that would allow the sound to go to the body or packing of that stock resonator. Also the two banks are not connected so in my case it was running like "true duals". Here are some pics of the third revision and how the innards of the stock pieces look. The drone is extremely tolerable now, the X inside the magnaflow muffler that I replaced the stock resonator with, it definitely makes the exhaust sound as one vs with the true duals you could kinda tell that the banks were separated, more of a lugging sound.

X2!  Looking forward to an updated sound clip, polski, you sure know how to build up the anticipation!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

That first sound clip was awesome! Exactly what I would be looking for.  I had Magnaflow's on my Marauder and I miss having a daily with an exhaust note.  Just a muffler change would probably get me what I'm looking for.  To bad these engines don't "sing" worth a damn.  6200rpm is pretty low.

No question, the sound has changed with the 3rd revision, very uniform!

You mean like NASCAR or motorcycle engines?

Not that dramatic but a unique and great sound.  Listen to a 350/370Z, their V6's sound amazing!  Or the older V6 SHO's. (Man those sung beautifully at 7500) Hell our 11' Escape V6 max HP is at 6550rpm.

I really like the setup on the OP's car.  Its deep with very little rasp.  If I end up swapping mufflers looks like I'll be using the Magnaflows.

I just added these mufflers and mine is extremely quiet :/

probably because you didn't remove the 3rd cat which would add 15% more sound and I hope you got the magnaflow performance muffler not the chambered one.

Got the last piece of the exhaust redone to 2.5". Got a tad quieter and the sound is much more refined/smooth.

So did you build the magnaflow exhaust system that is offered by magnaflow or are the components different??
