42dd/magnaflow?

[jb0ii]

what do you guys think on mating a 42dd dp resonated and high flow cat with a magnaflow catback. i do want loud but not stupid and obnoxious loud that why i am not mentioning the non res and no cat setup.

[watsonj0]

Yes it will be obnoxious

[jb0ii]

Yes it will be obnoxious

have you heard the res and catted setup personally?

[ThatVdub]

really, with a cat and res it's still obnoxious?

I believe the magnaflow doesn't have a flapper... so yeah that wouldn't help if you wanted it to be quiet.

i don't want quiet. it would be interesting on knowing how it will sound with the dp being catted and resonated

OP had the APR TBE and sold it, guess it was too quiet for him.

I am not a fan of the Magnaflow either way.

when 42 was developing the downpipe, they were also going to do a catback. Since they usually use magnaflow mufflers on their exhaust systems they mated one up and said it was shaking their shop when the car was fired up. they decided not to use it and are looking for another solution before they release their catback. so yes it would be quite loud

True that.

I would like to rephrase my last statement though... It wouldn't be loud, just a lot of unneeded drone when cruising due to the loss of a flapper.

I had a magnaflow muffler on my GLI. It wasn't louder than the stock muffler, but it did create more drone.

Well this blows. Does anyone know of a different setup which isnt quiet but wont sound obnoxious as the magnaflow

Do you mean "isn't quiet" at low RPM or "isn't quiet" at WOT? The APR is quiet when driving normally and loud as balls at WOT. That's the best of both worlds.

If you want it to be loud all the time, get a Milltek. I've heard there isn't much drone on that system but it's VERY loud.

Yes i dont want it too quiet a low RPM's. I heard milltek was also on the quiet side but i am not to sure. i will do my research thanks!

I'm sorry, not the Milltek. I haven't heard the Milltek, I got confused I guess. The Scorpion is the one I was thinking of. It's very loud.
