I got a great deal on the Magnaflow "S" Exhaust Brand New for $539 delivered! I installed it Sunday and the FIt and Finish was Great! Sort of like a Motorcycle Exhaust where it is seen and has to look OK! As soon as I fired it up, I KNEW it was too loud!

Has anyone fitted something like a Cherry Bomb Muffler after the Resonator where that mid pipe is to Quiet this thing down?? RIght now, that is the plan and I an drilling 2 small Holes (About 1/8 inch) in the Bottom of the tips to allow the water to drain!

I have read an article where Magnaflow is working on a larger Resonator to also bring the noise level down! Has anyone with this system made their Quieter?

In the UK theres a company called powerflow who do custom exhaust fittings. I know several folks who have had extra (motorbike can type sized "inline") silencers (mufflers) fitted into the centre pipe after the cat and before the backboxes on JCW and Magnaflow and Milltek systems when they have had manifolds fitted (they were ok before but coupled with a manifold they were too boomy/loud)

Over here it costs about £130 inc labour and parts to cut and fit the "inline" silencer can. Works well at muting the noise inside and outside. Thats around $260

Not sure but you must have similar outfits in the US...maybe even powerflow exhaust fitters?
