Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance Has anybody tried using oval Magnaflows?

Been reading through a bunch of the exhaust threads here & going through Magnaflow's site as well. It seems the basic consensus in regards to replacing the resonator is to put a Magnaflow #10435 in it's place. No problem there. However, out back some have used a pair of the #14843's which are a 6" round muffler. Which looks fine and all, but I personally think a lower profile oval muffler might look better and be less prone to scraping. The oval ones Magnaflow makes usually come in 5"x8" dimensions and the one that looks like it might work is the #14850 which is 14" long just like the #10843's. The internal dimensions are also identical so the only difference really is the height/width of the body. Anybody know if these will fit or will they be too wide for that area of the car?

Plenty of people use oval mufflers back there. Not sure about the P/Ns, however.

I thought so, but hadn't seen any pics of them or mention of them on here during my search. I think I just might have to go that route then...

Here's pics of my setup courtesy of Stazi - 14851's out back ... there's sound clips on the next page too

Oh weird. I came across that thread when searching, but didn't even notice they were oval. Def the look I'm going for, but prefer the 14850's straight-cut tip. Too bad they don't make it with the double-wall tip.

talk to stazi

Here's a pic of the Magnaflow (P/N 14315)that's been on my car since 9/02 (it replaced a rusted-out Flowmaster).
