Default question for the magnaflow guys

i have a magnaflow single 3in. in dual 2.5in. out 22in. long case. it is way to quite and i have to tailpipes. im looking to getting a shorter case but i dont want anything annoying. would the 18in. long case be the way to go or should i go with the 14in. long case and run tailpipes out the back. so in ya'lls opinion what sounds good?

What is loud, is very subjective. Loud to me, would probably be soft to you. Having said that, a 14 inch case will make it much louder than what you currently have. If you like it loud, that will wake some things up.

tuning is good. and yes you need to come and give me a ride damnit. i really want to go with a smaller muffler and i dont know if the 14in is going to be too loud. pretty much i just want to know what you guys run and if you like it.
