ok so i got the mufflers installed with some real nice tips, extremly nice setup
now when i drive off you can hear it outside but very very quiet
u feel the diffrence i have more power but not to loud, and has a quiet deep sound to it
also i was at around 110 on the highway and when im on the pedal lightly u can hear it but not loud at all
but in the next week im going to take the resinators off

enjoy

Which Magnaflows did you get? Yours seems to be louder and different sounding than mine. What all did you replace -- just the mufflers, or all the way from the resonators back? I did the latter.

Thanks for posting the clip shlomboy

It's pretty good, a low roar-not obnoxious either

Sound pretty mild without being annoying.

For me, I think if I'm going to replace the muffler, I'll get one with some "roar". I don't do a lot of long distance driving so having a deep rumble won't bother me if I do it. If I do it for looks, I'll only replace the tips.

Ive been thinking about Flowmaster super 44's any sugestions or thoughts? However, i am concerned with touching the exhaust because of the problems that other members are encountering with their fuel economy.

the rear profile of the car looks much better now with the exposed tips. as for the exhaust note, I don't know that it fits the car 100%. Esp considering it's only got a 290HP V8 that gets to sixty in a little over 6 seconds... However, if you enjoy hearing them, that's all that matters. All in all, this mod defiantly improved your car.
