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

Install the magnaflow mufflers. I have them and a magnaflow x-pipe. Very deep below 3K. Overall, louder throughout the whole RPM range but not unbearably loud.

nias9527

NICE!! which muffler did you buy
no loud drone sound inside the car??


I am thinking getting a double in double out muffler and put it right behind the xpipe ( so I only have to buy one muffler)
is this gonna work?? is there gonna be any difference??
thanks

I'll have to keep my ears open for a loud c300 around town

Richard2011

I bought Magnaflow part # 11375.
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?

Richard2011

Just at UNC.

Drone is when the sound get real deep and your ears start to hurt!!
so is the sound around 2-3k get loud inside the car??? does it give you headache?
btw you got one muffler or two??

nd4spd13

Ah that's probably why I've never seen you. I grew up there and just left this year to go to university in Montreal, so haven't been around at all to enjoy the AMGs But I get a break next week and can't wait to get my hands dirty

nias9527

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?

do you have the magna flow mufflers with a quad set up? how does this sound?

hitokiri89

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 .

Richard2011

Quad tips shouldn't change the sound.

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.

Richard2011

Are you going to leave the stock mufflers intact? I'd believe this would be quieter than stock because you're essentially replacing the resonator with an x-pipe and an extra muffler. An x-pipe doesn't do much as far as loudness goes anyways.

jimmythegreek

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

nias9527

I am going to just install this at the place where my resonator is.
It will be right after the Xpipe...then its just straight pipe to the stock tips
I will let you guys know how it sounds after I install it

nias9527

omg I forgot to measure the size....Is that gonna fit ????
how do I get under my car without lift???
(the picture is taken at a muffler shop)

Richard2011

It doesn't look like it'll fit. But to answer your question, that's going to be loud.

nias9527

really?? its gonna be loud??
don't magnaflow muffler reduce exhaust sound??
Idk.. I just want to get rid of that drone sound inside cabin and I will be happy

do you have a video?

hitokiri89

Nope no vid , waiting to out headers in before I do one . How's yours treating you ? Any problems ?

Thaa kiid Jlee

nope everythings good. waiting a week to install springs. ive seen you around town i believe. you live in dixhills?

hitokiri89

Melville , didn't realize you were on the island . We should set up LI meet bro

jimmythegreek

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.....

I'm so down!
