Magnaflow question

I just got 2 magnaflow mufflers installed part #11225 I think. And it sounds kind of weak. Should I straight pipe my mid muffler? Or straight pipe my resonator alone? Or should I just straight pipe the resonator and mid muffler? I want it to sound aggressive, noticeable but not too loud.

Trial and error. Straight pipe everything at first and see how you like it.

Well I got them installed today but they don't sound like I what I thought it would sound like. Do I have to wait to break it in? Like a wwek? Or will it always be the same sound now?

The magnaflow mufflers barely added any sound, should I just straight pipe the mid muffler and resonator? Or just straight the mid muffler? Want an aggressive sound.

Thanks for answering, and will this give it a deep aggressive tone? And not a ricey tone?

I would do one at a time and see how you like it . You may like it wih just the resonator deleted . Or delete both then have a magnflow resonator put in , either way . Youll find the sound you want

I would straight pipe the mid-muffler and stock resonator. Nobody really puts the mid-muffler back on if there is rasp or if it sounds too ricey. That is why people put in different resonators.

I'm not really familiar with Magnaflow mufflers in place of stock ones and how they sound. But I have a feeling with those mufflers and straight piping everything it's probably not going to sound how you want it and you're probably going to end up adding some type of aftermarket resonator in there to change the exhaust tone. Since nobody (based on lack of comments) has run these specific mufflers you have, nobody can give you a concrete answer as to what any combination you have listed will sound like. So this is purely a trial and error thing until you find what you feel is right.
