I have a magnaflow with a stock resonator, I think it is almost too quiet. But pretty much perfect all in all. Love the sound. But then again, I like loud exhaust...

 

Believe me, it's that resonator that's making all the noise - not the muffler itself. (Not to mention, 3.25" piping from the cat-back.)

I'm going to have my stock resonator put back in next week. I'll upload some video with sound differences...

 

I would be very interested in hearing the dif.

 

i have a magnaflow res. with a trd axle back... and 2.25 piping. i like the sound of it... not loud, just deep.

 

Ran by this topic while searching for an exhaust clip for my girlfriend. The funny thing about this topic is the Magnaflow is probably one of the quietest after market exhausts out there. I've been around a lot of tC's and have heard in person all the major brands. The thing is only 86 decibels.

 

The cat back for the xB is much louder than 86dB. Even TPR magazine said it was obnoxious.

 

If you want quiet, get a magnaflow axleback and get an exhaust shop to weld another magnaflow muffler where the stock resonator is.
Just a axle back with the stock res. is not obnoxious for everyday driving

 

I wish it was louder for the tC. I should have specified that I’ve never heard it on an xB.
