Anybody running just Magnaflow axlebacks?

[Eric_GT]

I like the looks of the Magnaflow stainless axleback mufflers.
Is anybody running JUST this?
I am sure interior volume will be acceptable, but what do i get on the outside?

I thought there were some drone issues, can't remember.

I'm running 18" cherry bomb type glasspaks as axlebacks. They are fairly loud, but very low rumble with NO drone.

Please don't ask for a sound file or vid. I just don't have anything to capture the sound properly & previous attempts have resulted in huge piles of excrement being offloaded on me on "that other forum". I know it wouldn't happen here, but some dogs shit on you just for the fun of it.

Thanks, but I am doing just axle backs, not cat backs.
Yes, I have heard of droning concerns even with the street system.

I had Magnaflow axle backs welded up by a friend of mine. I did have a fair bit of drone, but with only me in the car it wasn't an issue. I liked the sound, but it was when I added the American Racing headers that the Magnaflow's woke up.
I eventually bought a set of stock mufflers and replaced the Magnaflows.
I'm going to weld them back up here shortly. I also have a set of Corsa Red dB mufflers arriving.

I thought axlebacks were the mildest of mild upgrades. ????
Most people appear to go with cat back and a lot say drone is not that bad. Yet, that would be an even more aggressive upgrade than what I have chosen. ????confused

Eric,

Check this thread out. From what I understand, Paul can tell you for sure, that this system doesn't have much drone since it still incorporates a third muffler but it sounds good.

Axle backs are just the rear muffler. If you have the stock exhaust system, it is the least expensive bang for your buck. You'll get a nice sound from your exhaust. You won't pick much additional HP.

If you keep your stock main pipes with the resonators drone won't be bad. Ray removed all his resonators and that's when the drone became bad for him.

ANYTIME you increase exhaust noise drone will increase. Especially in a car like ours.

Yeah, I had a Stolen Fox H pipe on there too.
But the Magnaflows came 1st.

I'm lost. How is a stock exhaust an upgrade?
Of course axle backs are just mufflers. An axle back system is less of an upgrade than a catback. So, how does is the stock exhaust the least expensive bang for the buck when in fact it is not an upgrade whatsoever. Quite confused by your thinking.
