whydidn't you take of the resonator? it should be too loud without it, or at least put a shorter resonator if you are worried about excessive decibels. nice muffler btw :thumbup:
Magnaflow Installed !!
Thought I'd give you guys the scoop 1st before posting it on MBworld, or if post it there at all.
I finally got around to installing the Magnaflow Dual Oval Tip exhaust !! Got a sweeeeeeeet deal from a friend. Everything is fine. The installation was great, 30 minutes and 2 bills haha !! Did it during my work lunch break.
Didn't remove the resonator as "shadowgriffin" said !! And now, its basically not loud. You cant tell that there is an exhaust when the car is idling or on the highway or even at cruising speeds. No sound after 3000 rpm whatsoever !!
People with Magnaflow's and resonators do you feel me? Or is this an odd story?
Suggestions to make it a little bit louder? NO ONE EVEN TURNS THEIR HEADS ? loooool

How loud is it on the highway ? Have you noticed any increase or decrease in power and fuel economy ?Benzoboi said:Take the resonators out!!! worked for me
Let's just say Sun's E55 without resonators sounds like a monster. :bow:xudeck said:How loud is it on the highway ? Have you noticed any increase or decrease in power and fuel economy ?Benzoboi said:Take the resonators out!!! worked for me
I am considering Magnaflow, just haven't got the funds right now due to suspension crap.
It's not loud at all on the freeway. It has a lil rumble until 2k and then after that it starts getting "lighter" if that makes any sense...has a lil drone to it but not bad unless you stuck at one speed at the right rpm....xudeck said:How loud is it on the highway ?

Resonator delete and borla race mufflers...
Well thats the same case with me. I just have a drone during loads, after that its as quiet as stock and I don't want that...lol !! I want it loud when idling and at least until 3 grand.Benzoboi said:It's not loud at all on the freeway.

Borla you say eh? Well I already have Magnaflow's so I'll stick with them for a little while and then try something else.
What happened to your fuel economy though? Better or Worse?
Well I wouldn't say it's quiet as stock after 2k for me but at the same time, the range in rpm in your car is different then mine so I'm sure yours will growl a lil longer then past 2k. It really grumbles from the get-go and then begins to soften out but that doesn't mean it's quiet as stockxudeck said:Well thats the same case with me.

As far as fuel economy, it's about the same, maybe a tad bit on the better side but nothing major...
I was just mentioning what I had on my car when I mentioned borla...
I hear what youre say about the sound...The muffler tech said that It would get louder as time went on .I think its been gettin quieter.I dont know maybe I just got use to it.....Anything is better than A loud exhaust inside the car thoughxudeck said:Thought I'd give you guys the scoop 1st before posting it on MBworld, or if post it there at all.
