I have a single 2.5" in and dual 2.25" out magnaflow. I think it will sound nice (not sure yet) with my 3 foot long cherry bomb presilencer. About half my exhaust is comprised of the cherry bomb and the muffler. The muffler is 18" long and the cherry bomb is I think 28" long to be exact. I can tell you in about a week when my car is running.

I've heard that magnaflows are the most reasonable sounding mufflers out there, and they dont melt (a very good thing).

Directfreak runs them on his turbo. He says they are as quiet as stock at idle, and really sound throaty and agressive under throttle.

I sorta know how mine will sound. I tryed to start it about a month ago. It bliped to 1000 rpm, but died after that. It sounded real nice though. Deeper sounding then even the RB system that I have heard in some vids. I will have to change the cherry bomb as soon as possible though. I'm sure it will melt within a month mounted as close to the header as it is.

I have heard some clips of magnaflows on other vehicles. They generally sound VERY deep on almost any car. For example, I know of a guy that has the fastest Buick LeSabre in the USA (I think, it runs something like 12 sec in the quarter and is street legal). Its an 88 LeSabre T-Type I believe with a 98 or so Supercharged engine. It modded beyond belief to make something like 370hp at the wheels. At idle it sounds like a top fueler (not as loud though). When he revs it up in a burnout, it sounds like a freaking ferrari. Its got to be one of the best sounding cars I have ever come across. As far as I know he is running a magnaflow. Here is the link:

Click the first vid for the burnout and the last for a clip of it idling.

I have a glasspack on my car as well right now.

Sounds AMAZING, but i dont know for sure how long it will last. It will be replaced by a magnaflow. (should have got that in the firs tplace).

Current setup:

turbo.
Racing Beat 2.5" downpipe,
Racing Beat 2.5" pre-silencer,
2.5" to 3" expander,
Glass Pack 3" in/out,
E-Bay N1 3" in, 4" tip.

sounds AWESOME. But it is very loud. Its 100% deep. bassy, NOT tinny AT ALL!!!

My magnaflow is pretty loud, and I am using a presilencer. You have nearly an identical setup to me now. RB header, magnaflow muffler, rb intake holley 600, good way to go!
