Magnaflow mufflers or stock mufflers?
My car without mufflers is way too loud and it gives me headache...
So I decided to put on some mufflers but not sure which one
I have the stock one (which I removed from mine) and magnaflow mufflers (to match my xpipe ?? lol ) in mind..haha
what do you guys think
anyone had installed magnaflow mufflers before?? how it sounds
because I think the stock one is too quiet..
btw I want to keep my original tips
here is the link to magnaflow muffler

I don't exactly know what "drone" sounds like. But it seems like the loudest RPM range is 2K-3K from the inside.
And a double in/out muffler right after the x-pipe? I would expect it to act like any old resonator and quiet it down a bit. Never heard of anybody trying this, though.
Haha. Don't see many locals on MBW. You might be the first!
My car isn't necessarily loud, but it's definitely a lot deeper.

Yea there are a couple guys in the 212 and maybe S or CLK forums from Raleigh, and there was another W202 guy on mbworld, but you're about it also. Are you from Chapel Hill or just at UNC?

Is it possible if I put this muffler right after my xpipe (where the resonator is)??
this way I only need to buy one muffler lol
is it gonna be different if I have two mufflers?

I have quad mf race set up with a mf x pipe . Sounds great but drones a lot and causes interior noise vibration . Really loud . If you can live with the vibration I say go with the mf setup as it sounds so much better than stock .

Also, I wouldn't say it drones a lot. At least on a C300, maybe a C350 might drone a little more. And I don't get many interior vibrations. There's just one that I can't figure out if it's from the shifter area or the cup holder things that hold the cup in place.

the magnaflows sound great, it really is nice. If you want some sound and no drone leave the stock resonator on and just change out the mufflers w the MF race ones, they are small and fit good. I loved mine they were sweet

the only way to get rid of the drone is to have the stock or aftermarket resonators installed. Personally an Xpipe is a waste of money IMO, unless your doing mufflers and want that loud sound. I had magnaflow race mufflers w teh stock resonator and it was badass, I got meisterschafts now and have aftermarket resonators and its sounds badass still, with NO drone in the cabin. U gotta remember where the resonator is on the car, right under the rear floor, theres only sheetmetal there. You can def use dynamat or something similar to help shield the noise, the MB factory uses that shiny tin heatshield stuff, thats all really. I lined the bottom of my cars exhaust tunnel w dynamat xtreme just to be safe all the way back. You can even do something like AZN300 did he lined his whole trunk w second skin w 2 layers I think. Either way no resonator equals drone in the cabin.....
