Magna flow upgrade

Just had my Stinger GT upgraded to a custom Magnaflow exhaust. I know they haven't put one out yet but Mike at Mike's muffler in El Monte did a custom job and it sounds great. All the systems I've seen are from the cat back but we felt to get the sound I was looking for could be accomplished by adding a 2 1/2 inch pipe and 11 inch Magna flow muffler from the first coupler (see pics) and leaving the rest stock. I couldn't be happier with the result.

Any idea which magnaflow muffler they used? Curious to see how it looks underneath. This should be a good alternative for those just wanting better sound.

I see pics fine from my phone. Did they custom weld those tips?

Looking forward to hearing sound clips, so far this is good and they got rid of the crimped area.

I would also like to hear what they sound like on the Stinger, I've used MF on 2 liter eccoboost motors and love the sound.
They did a good job fabricating for you, congrats

Here is the clip. I would listen on speakers or head phones to hear the what it really sounds like. Not too good on phone unless you play it through a speaker or car stereo.

Would love to hear it... I think the only thing missing no would be the crackel and burbbles from the dual clutch setups.. remember Clarkson commenting in jest at the Audi method of doing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXI78224lYY

I think if you want more sound you can go with the full system. Or even straight pipes from the resonators. It's definitely gotten a little louder as the mufflers get broken in. Also down shifting with the paddles has a nice growl. Compare $370 to $1300 - $2000.

With the money you save I think an intake system is in order!
