Re: Question about Magnaflow muffler
Personally, after turboing your PT Id just have a muffler shop saw the muffler off and straight pipe it right back. Theres another thread in here about that, and after reading everyone's posts, I determined that $400 or so for a good performance muffler vs $50 for the chop and pipe job was a no-brainer.
My results:
It does breathe a bit better, maybe a SMALL increase in mileage. It is a good bit louder, but its a good rumble, not a ricer sound at all. I get a lot of compliments on the sound of it, actually. You will hear all the little burbles, pops and backfires when decelerating. When I take off, I can see people trying to figure out where that nasty snarl is coming from, and when coming to a stop downshifting thru the gears you'll hear all kinds of stuff. I got a nice loud backfire pop right beside some old lady in a camry, I think she filled her granny panties!
