Question about Magnaflow Exhaust

hawgfan · 11-04-2009, 12:20 AM

So I went to the shop today to pick up my magnaflow, went there not knowing what I wanted, as I was talking to the guy, I told him I wanted a dual in/single out and I want a magnaflow tip but I wanted to keep my orignal exhaust. So he thew me when he told me that he had a single in/dual out and all I had to do is turn it around and I could use it. My question is, Can you do this with a Magnaflow Exhaust? Is there no baffles or chambers inside the muffler? Just wondering if this is true. Anybody who knows please help me out before I buy something that will not work. Oh I will be putting this on a 2009 Nissan Titan SE Crew Cab 4x4. Also if there is another exhaust that will get me the same sound and using factory pipes please let me know that as well.

yeah just turn it around, i also have a magnaflow on my 2008.5. the 18" is a little louder than the 22", but not annoying. fits my taste perfectly and still get complimented, but performance for price is what i was really going for. if you add a tip it might change the sound tho. oh and more importantly... welcome to the site!

yep mykflo is right..part#12258 is the one u want if u want to use stock pipes and get good sound and power. and IMO if i were u i would go with the magnaflow tip unless u just want if for looks cuz its a waste of $$. an there are other tips u can get for less $$ but it all depends on what u want. I personally love my 12258 on my 07 cc with all stock pipes and spent less the $150 for muffler and install. just my $.02

hey thanks supertighty and mykflo, I forgot to ask about the sound part supertighty is your muffler the 18 or 22, I am just looking for a good deep sound (you know something that sounds mean and tells people to get the hell out of the way lol).

Thanks for all the replys I went today and bought the magnaflow 12258 and the magnaflow 4" roled stainless tip, going to get it put on in the morning again Thanks for all the help, oh yea just in case anyone is wondering I bought the muffler and tip for 80, I thought that was a real good price.

Well I got mine put on today and I really like it, muffler shop charged me 40 for the install, I was going to run all new pipes, but decided to keep everything I could factory. The sound came out better than I hoped for. If I can get a video camera I will try and get a sound clip. Thanks for everyone's help.
