I have dual 3 inch with a 28 inch magnaflow on each side and it's a loud bitch...too loud. I'd be curious tho how the dual in/out magnaflow is. I had the dynomax dual in/out with the x pipe in it and it was stupid raspy loud and that's with cats.

Add the longest case bullets in front of the mufflers that you can fit. It knocks a lot of sound and rasp out.

I couldnt get any further away but I cut my flowmaster deal about as short as possible and put it directly to a 4" cutout pipe

Back long ago when I was on my own single 4" set up I used the 16" long Mannaflow.

I also fab'd my own 5" turbo back on my cummins. I used a single 5"x20" long Mangflow.


I love magnaflow muffs.

No I don't at the moment, sorry. It's not pretty, It was done by the Amish in 3 inch cheap stainless so its rough looking. After the headers high flow cats (visual for insp.) A set of 16 inch magna packs then to a 28 inch magnaflow 12589 on each side and tail pipes over the axle and out at each corner on a 45. It's loud and raspy, I added the magna packs to calm the rasp but that didn't work.

When it was 1st done instead of the magnaflows I had a dynomax di/do x pipe muffler...that was worse. I tried turbo mufflers tho and they were quiet but at wot they sounded like glass packs.
