If something is going to be happening anyway.
You have the magna flow now, take the resonators out as you want and install the dual in / out MagnaFlow then listen to the sound before you add any more (in building and with the short exhaust will be louder than finished out back) if to loud for you get a cheap set of resonator exhaust tips, and would tone down more.
And can do dual 2.25 back if you like the sound, be less restrictive, eliminates that sharp bend in pipe around rearend to the muffler.
Give us sound clips please on each stage.
Reading the responses they are for the most part critical. Thought this forum was to enhance the driving experience of these unique auto's. I am not doing the first M TRU X as a muffler per say but as a way to get the uneven V6 exhaust pulses to flow in an even fashion, it's about getting some torque and not so much noise reduction. Jim, Jefasold, felt that his research showed a "Y" pipe did what I am trying to achieve, as Jim has, building torque. A resonator built properly is like a Flowmaster, chambered though I am sure Mercedes did a lot more than a Flowmaster ever did. My hope is for the "X" to even the pulses of the V6, the 3" piping to flow well into the Borla to finish the quieting the engine's exhaust in a free flow fashion. Tomorrow is the day. I would have liked to have used a set of Rob's log headers, even unproven because of the extra flow they offer but I could not afford them so what I can achieve with research and V6 motors will have to suffice and I will give results tomorrow afternoon.
