What kinda catback do you have?

off-road mid pipes are the loudest....if you want to go quieter then pretty much any catted midpipe will do the job.

If you have a straight-through muffler type aftermarket catback then that plays a part in it as well. You could also swap the catback for a chambered one.

One option is to have some high flow cats welded in and/or some resonators thrown in. I'm surprised your setup sounds so rattly with the regular Magnaflow cat back.

Are they they regulars or the magnapaks?


If they are the regular ones then that catback is actually considered relatively quiet. If you still think it is too loud, than a catted mid pipe should do the trick

you deff need to put cats on your mid-pipe if you think your car is too loud. If you want, I will trade you your Magaflow Magnapacks for my Borla Stingers....

i have the same set up. a bbk o/r X pipe and magnaflow cat back with magnapacks. i get so many complements on the sound, and cops never give me problems, just don't shift at 3k when you pass a cop. i normally shift at 2000-2200 and never had any problems being too loud

Do you have any clips of your setup? I used to have a MRT catted h, and almost went with their cat back as well.

hey. i have an mrt catted h as well. it sounds awesome at WOT without being obnoxiously loud. it has a slight rumble at low rpms. check into it. it does command a pretty penny though since its a top notch product.

you might have luck finding a used one from someone switching to an o/r pipe, an x pipe or a shorty mid pipe. take a look...
