Magnaflow rear muffler just installed!
Hey guys I just got my magnaflows put in on my car. It was a bit too loud but then I put the resonator back in and now it sounds PERFECT. There is no drone at all and when you open it up it sounds soooooo good, almost like a maserati. LOL If anyone is planning on doing this I highly recommend this instead of spending 3000 on some mufflers, I spent 320. The part # is 12198 if anyone wants to do this. Here are some pics and a video of the outcome! 
P.S Are the tips kinda off?
Secondary and resonator Delete

Thanks for the compliments guys. The tips were pretty difficult to put on. I'm kinda paranoid that my tips aren't even but it looks fine from a distance. And sounds better! Ps I love my v1!

tips look fine, but are a little different than stock...you tips look even, but stocks are offset (if you know what i mean). Also, stock tips are closer together. Thats why it looks a lil different.

Ya there wasn't much they could do because we had to use the stock piping from the mufflers and weld them to thegmaflows which were further apart. It look nice though

mufflers just broke-in and there is some drone at 1700-1800 rpm. WHo cares though the car feels faster but maybe its just the sound making me think so. I'm gonna dyno it later this week to get a baseline before modding it after christmas.

It's actually a bit on the loud side now. Do you guys think adding two mini glasspacks would help with the drone that magnaflows are notorious for?
I found this:

What if i put one on each side in place of the diagonal piping behind the muffler? Drone gone?
I also have my stock resonator on and its still loud. at low RPMs'

Does not sound like you have headers and X-Pipe inn the first video. A bit quieter than mine. I do like how it sounds with the Magnaflows. Nice.

Sounds pretty good for what you paid for sure! That with the 2nd cat delete gives it a way better sound than stock. The only thing I would say is that it does not sound like it has a deep throatiness to it? Good Job

Just installed a mid muffler on my system and all the DRONE is finally gone. It still has that deep rumble to it though. Vid will be up ASAP.

Here's the video!

I know I know its sounds kinda like resonator and cat delete but it really doesn't sound stock. The whole point was to retain stock sound but have more muscular tone under load.
