Thread: Help - Magnaflow Muffler Recommendations

I currently have the following setup on my VE'd NX:

- 2.5" SSAC
- 2.5" Catco Cat
- 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust
- 2.5" Magnaflow resonator (4" x 18" i think)

I am planning to open things up and replace my stock subaru muffler (very quiet) with a straight through muffler, this is what I am considering:

Magnaflow 5x8 muffler:

Magnaflow Muffler 12226 Satin Stainless

I know the offset would be a little quieter (increased surface area of perforated pipe inside), but does anyone have any Videos or Sounds of VE with 2.5 mandrel, SSAC and magnaflow resonator + muffler??

Help me make a decision which will make good power and have a non-droning sound.

FYI:

The offset mufflers are quieter because (some of) the sound wave travels directly into the sound deadening material instead of directly out of the muffler.

Sorry I can't be of any real help. =(
