I know they're magnaflows but does anyone know where I can get them, just the mufflers? I tried really hard to fix the valves from rattling with washers and other means because my girlfriend (her car) thinks its too loud for her with the exhaust fix (plugged vacuum lines), but am at my wits end. Now we are way past warranty and have had to pay for some things lately and can't afford a whole new catback from saleen without the valves for $900 or whatever they cost nowadays. I would just get any magnaflow and make it work, but my understanding is that the mufflers they replaced the system with are about the same volume as the 05's with functioning valves, even though they have none.

At this point I'm wanting to just weld the valves shut, but with everything else I tried and with my luck it would still rattle. How would that sound anyhow, only coming out of the two tips all the time?

Seriously....too LOUD just because the flaps are open?? I makes a difference in sound but its hard to believe it is that noticeable I definitely wouldn't weld them shut as the pipe that goes from the muffler to the center tips is not very big and thus restrictive....hence the reason for the main set of tips that are now open all the time by design.

I would re-do the bypass fix and tell her that is the factory recommendation. Afterall, she did buy a performance car - hopefully she doesn't want it to sound like a family sedan

Don't get me wrong, I love it, but she says there is a drone at certain rpms inside the car that rattles her brain. I can't cut any lines without asking her first. She won't go for it, the drone bothers her too much. Anyone know the magnaflow muffler part number? But even then, won't it be the same as the bypass fix, or is it quieter?

Also, because we got p2004 and a bunch of other codes right after I plugged the vacuum, she won't believe it will be a coincidence, add to the fact that it was quite expensive to fix the CMCV and IMRV stuff. I guess I'll have to be looking for a magnaflow muffler of the right length that has two inlets and one outlet and hopefully won't be "too loud".

I would call carlos or at tecno or ask red devil for the part number. I also would recommend not welding them shut. As for the sound from two tips, mine sounds wonderful but I also modified the entire exhaust. On high hp cars the stock exhuast is very restrictive.
