Title says it all :hurray: . These are the 17" 14264 stainless version, offset/offset. Nice and quite at idle (relatively) and cruise, but watch out WOT. Slight resonance, but that may be b/c my tails are not exiting under the bumper - I had to leave them short so I can put the SS tips on (ran out of time). Trunk is like a big echo chamber right now. But even w/that, its alot better than before. Car even seems to idle nicer. Too bad I didn't have them on last night when I was racing. My ears still hurt from the StreetPros singing for an hour.

I will try to get a soundclip at some point.

Hi Mike, still got 'em. Just took the off the car a couple of hours ago actually.

I bet you are now close to what the 18" street pros would have sounded like, too bad they didn't set you up that way. Those were 14" you removed, right?

 

[69-CHVL]

Mark, yes they were the 14". The guy said that the 18" really weren't that much quieter than the 14's. I'll bet though that these Mags are quieter than the 18" SP's b/c these have packing in them - seems to take the "edge off". The Mags have this "muzzled sound" - 2 of my friends already said they like the sound better.

 

[Xtreme70SS396]

Well, how about a sound clip???

 

[69-CHVL]

I'm working on it...I forget how to do it :clonk:

Sounds good Vince. Very healthy yet docile. Hard to believe a straight thru muffler would be that quiet.

 

[SSJeff]

Glad you're happy with the sound, Vince.
I just got my 3" Pypes system on last night and I have the Ultraflows on it and it sounds quite healthy at idle, just right. I know they really sound off when you get on it.
Only problems I ran into was a poor fitting system that required a lot of tweaking and massaging, especially the driver's side of the crossmember. Those 3" tailpipes are a very tight fit as well. I'll get some pics up asap.

Jeff, my problem with pypes system is the collector on the passenger side is right under the cross member. I may need to whack it some more - but thats really not the fault of the Pypes system. B/c the headers are staggered, the driver's collector is much further towards the front, clearing the crossmember altogether. The tails for me fit good. At first with the StreetPros, my tires were rubbing the tailpipes, but with the Mags the fit is much better , the tails aren't even close to the tires.

Only complaint I have is that the driver's tail appears to have a bad bend in it, it hangs a little lower than the passenger. And I tinkered w/it for an hour, and it just wont go up higher. I'm a little OCB, so this drives me nuts.

How's your tailpipe look

How's your tailpipe look ?

I'm not sure such a comment is appropriate for a family-oriented site.

I've been trying to convince my friend who is trying to decide on a new exhaust system to go with the Magnaflows. Best of both worlds. I love the set on my truck and won't even consider anything different for the wagon project. I'm even considering putting a set on the restored car since the stocker mufflers are in need of replacement.
