    Default Mufflers

    So, can the stock muffs be installed in place of the Magnaflow muffs? They sound good in town but on the road they drive me nuts. I'm gonna have to drive the Jag to New Orleans unless I put the stock system back on. Also, If the stock exhaust system is reinstalled would the VMS tune be the same. I've ordered the tune and stated that I have the Magnaflow cat backs on. As I said before, changing the exhaust didn't show a change on the dyno from the stock pipes.

    You would have to have the flanges put on the MF to hook up the stock pipes. I think the difference in a few mods will show up at the track more so then the dyno.

    It's funny that the drone/resonance is so pronounced where we normally cruise. If I kick it up to 2000 rpm then it's all good. But 2000 plays hell with gas mileage. Oh, I ran a 4.52 0-60 today messing around..... is that acceptable?

    There was no cutting on my exhaust everything just came apart smooth as can be. I have the whole system ready to be put back on if need be.
