Hey all, it's been a long time since i posted here. Just had a question for everyone...
I've had Stan's catback on my cavalier for a while now. It's 2.5in. mandrel bent pipe with a magnaflow muffler. The muffler is starting to rust out, which made it louder, and i got pulled over...so time for a new muffler. I'm not sure if i should go with the magnaflow or a dynomax super turbo muffler. right now my exhaust is as follows:
Pacesetter header
Catco high flow cat
2.5in pipe
Rusted Magnaflow muffler
I was thinking of the dynomax super turbo with a glasspack as a resonator, but i don't want something that is as quiet as stock (i've heard that the dynomax is as quiet as stock). Would you guys go with a magnaflow with resonator, or a super turbo with a resonator?

Im waiting on my muffler to get here then Ill be redoing my exhaust which will include:
stans header w/ 2.5" downpipe
2.5" catco cat
2.5" dynomax bullet race muffler for res, 12"
2.5" customtubes piping
2.5" dynomax superturbo
I thought about getting a magnaflow muffler but have never realy liked them on most 4cyl's unless theres a long resonator or a turbo to change the sound lol. I have a dynomax on my car now and it isnt realy quiet even with a 30" glasspack, but I dont have a cat either
When i first put the catback on i had the stock cat. after i put on the high flow cat, it was ALOT louder and after a while, it became raspy...

magnaflow muffler with 22" magnaflow resonator...but I am biased...
if you do a thrush 28" glasspack as a resonator, and the dynomax super turbo, it gets louder and louder as the glasspack burns out. not obnoxiously loud but louder than stock
Well, just ordered my muffler...it's the same magnaflow that came with the "Stan's catback". The only thing that i am going to add to it is the place that i'm having put it on is going to add a resonator. not sure what kind, just know he said it's a glasspack thats around 16" long. i'm hoping the glasspack resonator will keep me from getting pulled over. I'll let you know how it sounds once i get the muffler and resonator back on.

I had a magnaflow after numerous headaches (from the interior noise) I tried a flowmaster which was still too loud. I put a superturbo muffer on and it was a drastic improvement. Not nearly as loud from the outside and the interior resonance is almost null in comparison.
Mine might have been louder than most who used the magnaflow, I had a magnaflow resonator however the pacesettter header, full 2.5" exhaust and no cat probably didn't help any.
