Magnaflow suitcase

[terrier126]

anyone ever just replace the suitcase? i assume it would be a little quieter than the magnaflow single kit...

also been thinking about a magnaflow 5''x11''x22" dual exit muffler (verses the 4x9x18 that comes with their kit) with 2 hemi resonators...

still searching for a quiet tone while getting some decent power out of it, not liking the idea of a full hemi exhaust swap

I see flowmaster has just the sort of thing you speak of. Its a single in dual out with two resonators. #817482. But if you don't have a V8 exhaust you wouldn't have a suitcase muffler. Just a single muffler. Here is a video of the istallation and performance.

If you get the R/T exhaust, it's true dual, so if you decide to change out the muffler, you'll need two mufflers to get rid of the suitcase.

most likely gonna be using 2 r/t resonators....anyone think i should do the one magnaflow with dual exit? or dual magnaflows? i dont have an x pipe to use...do i really need it?

Talk to Blastin Bob here on the forum we were looking at doing a true dual with a Magnaflow true X core muffler...

The x-pipe is for balancing the sound and velocity of the exhaust gasses between engine banks. It helps a little with sound but mostly it's for balance. It's the same thing with an H-pipe but the X flows better than an H.

somewhat decided on a setup that should be pretty quiet.....

magnaflow xpipe,


dual magnaflow 4"x9"x18" mufflers and still not sure if i want 2 hemi resonators or 2 more magnaflows at the rear, either way should be pretty quiet with a nice tone

I'd sugest just getting the magnaflow dual set up like mine, but while it's not anoying it isn't very quiet.

TTMR do you have the magnaflow dual muffler and resonator kit? Thanks.

well id be putting an xpipe and 2 mufflers(4x9x18) and 2 resonators or 4 mufflers(2 4x9x18 and 2 4x9x11)....the magnaflow dual kit has 3 mufflers(a 4x9x18 and 2 4x9x11), so this should be somewhat quieter that their standard kits

Nope, I have the V6 dual exit kit only one muffler. Good agressive tone with the perfect volume for me.

It's about time BB does a true dual kit!

I run the Magnaflow kit designed for the R/T's. Single "x" core muffler in the middle and a muffler (or resonator?) at each tip. I ran it on the dyno and it showed positive gains in both HP and torque but each and every day I find I like the sound less and less. Lots of drone and it sounds very ricey. . . not what I expected at all.

I am interested to see what BB can do with that “x” core muffler either with different mufflers or no mufflers at the tips.

That is the kit I was going to get for my car, HHP talked me out of it for the same issues you are having, a "ricey" sound.

that's what I'm trying to avoid, which is why im going with the xpipe and 4 mufflers or 2 mufflers, 2 hemi resonators, i want quiet and smooth but stock is too quiet and for the $400 blastin bob magnaflow kit(no offense to bob as he makes very nice easy install kits) i can make a custom cat back with xpipe............ im going to use flipped over v6 pipe to run for the left side (all muffler going to be 2.25")

Damn, I wish I talked to them. . . I was actually supposed to have a full custom built kit but the shop I went to decided to change the plans without notifying me first. Needless to say I was not to thrilled and will never do business with them again.
