Default Which Magnaflow turbo muffler for quiet as possible?
For the turbo rcsb guys, I'm looking for a quiet 3" turbo muffler that I will bring with me to the mandrel bend shop so they can build my exhaust. Anyone have any recommendations? I was looking at Magnaflow's 7" round XL series but not sure I need to go that big with the turbo. I want this thing quiet, it will be obnoxious enough with the turbo.

I have a 24" magnaflow and it's extremely quiet at idle and cruise. Open it up and it sounds healthy, but not loud.

A larger cased Magnaflow should do the trick fairly well. The turbo itself will soak up some of your exhaust noise as well vs a NA or supercharged vehicle as well.
