    I am going to be putting on JBA shorty headers(live here in CA, no can do with the long tubes), but was wondering if a single out or dual out muffler would give a deeper, louder sound/note. And does the size of the piping matter for sound? Hopefully some people have experience with both. Thanks...Mike

    This may sound crazy, but this muffler sounds amazing with the JBA headers and stock Y pipe

    It's a Magnaflow SS muffler. 4" round body, 14" long.

    You will need to have your exhaust shop weld it in and have them add some pipe as this muffler is much shorter than stock. It will not be insanely loud, but it does sound perfectly deep.

    what is the difference between the SS and the regular mufflers, other than the shape, or is that the only difference and thats what makes the difference in the sound, do you have one on?

    SS is stainless steel, so it will last much longer;)

    no I do not have that set up, but I recommended it to two of my buddies and they love it on their X-Runners

    have you heard the 5x8 mufflers, does this one have a deeper tone than those? And would you by any chance have a vid or audio clip? Just asking cause i have never sen these before.

    So tell me if i am right...

    1) The 4" round will be louder than the 5x8, at idle, cruising, and WOT right?
    2) The 4" round will have a deeper tone than the 5x8, at idle, cruising, and WOT right?

    Thanks for the help, and do you think you can get some clips maybe:D, haha you dont have to but i figured i'd ask.

    alright sweet, thanks for the help, just post the vid here when you get it:D, also did they have their exhaust turned down or have it exit the side and with or without a tip?
