Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance Magnaflow question...

...well, i have a 98 csvt. i am looking to replace the resonator ONLY, with a magnaflow muffler. The problem is that i don't have any muflers after the resonator, just straight pipes. and the car sounds alwsome. i don't want to change the sound that much, but i want to get rid of the stock resonator. so what do you guys recommend. i have looked into many forums, but everyone is either using the magnaflow resonator in combination with the stock muflers, or aftermarket once..so what shoul i do if i don't have any muflers at all?? what size will be good, so the loudnes of the car stays about the same?? what is the largest size i can fit down there 4x9x18??? also, will an inlet/outlet and core of 2.25in will work? and does it have to be offset/offset or center/offset???? i have looked into many sizes, but the one they say will fit 4x9x14 #11235, i think will make my car luder....i am confused. any suggestions?
thanks

i put a magnaflow 10435 and it fit like a charm... not so much louder thant the stock one but nicer sound and less restrictive

ok. so yours is 2.25 inlet/outlet whi answers one of my questions. the body is 22" long and the whole thing is 28" long. which means that i can easily fit say a 19" long oval resonator (which is about the length of the stock one)...right? well, since the stock one is 4x7 oval, would a 4x9 fit in there (in terms of width and height)? and does it really matter if it is offset/offset or center/offset?? from the way i see things, it can be pretty flexible down there. people fit all sorts of things, right? and lastly, which one will be louder, a 22" long circular or a 22" 4x9, or 19" 4x9??? wow, sorry again for all the questions but i need some help in my decision making. thank you!!!

too many question to answer but... mine fit there perfeclty, i got it install for really cheap and it took juste a few minute.

i dunno which one will be louder.. but this one is not loud i think... just enhancing the sound

i dont regret it

i paid 30$CAN in a local muffler place

one of the high flow resonators from borla would be the quietest IMO flowmaster is always loud and magnaflow is pretty raspy on top. i hope it works out!
