quad exhaust muffler

DUDE so i ordered my magnaflow muffler to put in place of the resonator

looking around at everybodys setup the size of the muffler is 4" by 9"

4" tall, 9" wide

i ordered a 5" by 11" on accident

so its 2" wider than everybody elses


do you guys think it'll fit in that groove area????

or else imma have to return this

My Magnaflow 12288 that I use in place of the resonator is 5" X 8" and just fits, 11" might be a bit of a stretch mate

Mine is 18", I'm sure a 19" would also work. Borla wont have the same sound as the Magnaflow though, it wont be as deep and it will be a little more raspy. Nothing wrong with it, just made differently than Mangnaflow so the sound is also different.

ive had both borla and magnaflow

borla sounds more sporty racy...almost like a motorcycle

magnaflow is just straight up OG BASS and its mellow

i woulda liked to put in a remus muffler...but that **** is WAYYY TOO EXPENSIVE

Mandrel bends preserve the diameter of the piping through the bends, crush bends decrease and restrict flow.

Nope, just higher cost unless you've got forced induction.

So which sounds more like a real AMG - Borla or Magnaflow?

My Eisenmann is deep (put her @ss to sleep) - definately deeper than the AMG's I've heard.
