yeah man... please post. I am curious as to how the magnas sound with the boss quads. Any issue with drone tho? I liked magna too, but I heard some folks say drone was an issue.

No drone from my Magnaflows, which are the Street Series version (part# 15151). It's the Competition Series (straight through mufflers) that have drone. Mine are the chambered type of muffs, which are very deep-sounding, and only get loud at WOT.

The magnaflow comps never droned for me, until I removed the cats. I loved how they sounded with cats and the boss 302 sidepipes.
Without cats, I'm adding stock OTA pipes and GT500's to tame it a bit, and I have the plates in.

Don't drive at 2k RPM and you shouldn't have to worry about drone with any exhaust, IMO. I also wouldn't get the Boss side exhaust because for the money you can get a better sounding exhaust that weighs less.

Nope... I heard the Borla S types in person and I went that route. My next step is to combine the boss quads with the Borlas... if only I can get Overboost to post a quick vid of his combo. Still no luck. Maybe he'll read this and do a quick vid.
Here's Marilyn sporting her new pipes.

Haha... what's up Jamie.
Marilyn is stored now. Have you seen my switchbacks and full LED interior, reverse lights and license plate lights?? My latest mods

Below are photos of the OE h-pipe and the Boss h-pipe with side-pipes, so others can see the difference.

In my case, installing the magnaflow axle-backs saved at lot of weight, more than the extra weight of the side pipes and flanges they attach to, so added weight is a non-issue. And my total exhaust pack sounds awesome!!

I rode in an '11 GT with the Borla ATAK axle-backs on it and the car sounded fantastic. No drone. No ugly popping to speak of on decel. Fantastic product.
Then a few weeks later I met a guy with a gorgeous '11 GT with the 624hp Ford Racing blower on it. He had added a Boss 302 side pipe setup, but kept the factory GT axle-back. His car also sounded absolutely amazing. Weather conditions didn't permit a ride in that car - just started it & revved it in his garage. But he told me he had no drone and no fumes issues whatsoever.
I think both setups sound equally amazing. But I'm leaning more toward the Boss side-pipe setup, as it is definitely less common, and the car sounds great from 3 sides rather than just from the back.

So true, that's what I'm running and they drone like a dog howling at the moon in and around 2000 RPM.
