While it may seem that this might lend itself to fitment only, the configuration will determine loudness as well. As the volume, cross-section or length of the muffler is reduced the loudness of the muffler will be greater and as the volume, cross-section or length of the muffler is increased the loudness of the muffler will be lessened.Īnother consideration for sound is the inlet / outlet configuration. The simplest way to think about the loudness you can expect from a given muffler is directly related to the physical volume of one muffler compared to another with the same core size (diameter) and configuration (straight or offset). That’s how we get that distinct MagnaFlow sound.

MagnaFlow’s straight through design is unique in that it incorporates a proprietary perforation core pattern and dual-stage packing material consisting of an initial Stainless Steel wool to absorb the heat from direct contact with the perforation core while providing the gases an expansion area to make full contact with the second stage of premium acoustic packing material. Now that we cleared up, let’s dive into our catalog of performance mufflers and which one will achieve the perfect exhaust note for your vehicle! Our MagnaFlow straight through mufflers feature a design which allows for comfortable cruising at low throttle positions while providing an aggressive deep tone when you step on the pedal. So next time you’re purchasing an exhaust system or muffler, don’t make the mistake of buying a larger exhaust in hopes of it improving performance based on volume alone. A properly sized exhaust does not allow the exhaust to cool, minimizes turbulence and in turn maintains the proper velocity to maximize the performance of your vehicle. Simply put, when an exhaust is too large, the exhaust gases can expand, cool down and create turbulence as faster moving gases interact with slower moving gases which in turn slows down the process of exhaust evacuation. In fact, too large of an exhaust diameter can be detrimental to the performance of your vehicle. While we frequently hear this from many inquiring customers, it is simply not true. One of the most common, if not the most frequently asked question we get as an exhaust company is, “What type of muffler is the loudest?” With that, the answer to the question is a bit more complicated than “here’s the part number for our loudest muffler.” That being said, some mufflers are louder than others, so we’re here to walk you through our catalog of performance mufflers to better understand which will provide the desired sound for your vehicle without negatively impacting the performance.īefore we dive into the specifics of our mufflers, one of the most common misconceptions when it comes to exhaust is that bigger is better.
