Default Tryin to find a new muffler

Im goin with a bigger turbo and a cam, so im gonna need more flow after the turbo.

Here is what i have now..

Magnaflow Part# 12259 Muffler-Universal
5 x 8 Oval / 3 Offset Inlet / 3 Center Outlet / 18 Body Length / 24 Overall Length





Im goin to go with a 4" cause ill be routing the Wastegate back into the tailpipe.



Here is the only 2 mufflers that i can find in 4" I/O.

(want it longer than this)
Magnaflow Part# 14153 Muffler-Universal
5 x 8 Oval / 4 Inlet / 4 Outlet / 14 Body Length / 20 Overall Length

(But not this long)
Magnaflow Part# 12772 Muffler-Universal
7 Round / 4 Center Inlet / 4 Center Outlet / 24 Body Length / 30 Overall Length


Im thinking the Oval Muffler will keep it quieter than the Round muffler even though its shorter? And the current 18" body muffler is a tight fit.
So maybe the 14" body will allow the 4" pipe to make the bends... Muffler selection isnt too good for tight locations with 4" I/Os..


What yall think?
I want it really quiet. Its almost perfect like it is now, but im goin to need more flow.

get rid of the spare.

Also, I put my stock catback back on...after 8 months of driving around open y pipe. Quite the difference but dare I say it's actually nice! Thing is whisper quiet. Once I go turbo I want a muffler that will be just as quiet as stock (is there any straight thru muffler that can be as quiet as stock?) and will simply add a DMH cutout.

Nah, that muffler isnt as quiet as my 22" magnaflow (28" body) was. That thing was horrible. I prefer the stock muffler over it. It just made a low humming noise that sounded like ****.
