Default I want QUIET exhaust!

Once upon a time I had the offroad prochamber and Mac catback. In an effort to shut the damn thing up (it was cool for awhile) I had 2 Magnaflow cats welded into the prochamber. Well that did help some and I like that the rasp is gone, but its still LOUD to me. The drone at 2200rpm-ish is just stupid. I'm assuming it's all the Mac mufflers. So say I cut those out and weld in some Magnaflow mufflers...is that going to make a BIG difference? Please let me know if you have real world experience with these two types of mufflers.

Magnaflows don't drone nearly as bad, and are typically quieter than a 2 chamber muffler. Just don't get magnapacks because they are a glasspack, which will be louder than what you have now.

Magnaflow mufflers are some of the quietest mufflers on the market. With cats on a prochamber and magnaflow mufflers, you wont hear a damn thing.

Borla Hush mufflers....

Friend had them on his Built STI... WOT they are QUIET!!! You can also put some electronic cutouts after the x pipe...(wanted to build a beastly v8 with a v6 body and do this)

Still thinking about getting these mufflers.... I am tired of people hearing my car from over a mile away when WOT... Not good for the PoPo population around here...

I guess I figured the diameter of the stock mufflers was smaller than the tubing of my Mac catback and it'd just be easier to get Magnaflows that might weld in easier? I don't mind the noise if I've got it ***** to the wall, but if I'm just driving around leisurely, I really want it pretty quiet.

I put cats on it. It did make a difference in sound (not as raspy) but it did absolutely nothing for the annoying drone - that's apparently all the result of the mufflers

chambered mufflers drone. Thats what they do. Straight through are much better at not droning.
