I have the magnaflow catback for a month now, but I hate the sound. Is it possible to just unbolt the two magnaflow mufflers and bolt on two flowmasters in my driveway without any welding? Also, how much louder are the 40 series and 50 series compared to the regular Maganflows? Thanks

You'll either have to weld or clamp them on. Welding is better. The 40's will be louder than the regular magnaflows. Regular magnaflows are pretty quiet.

so the flowmaster and magnaflow mufflers are the same size then? The flowmaster muffler doesn't have the hanger that hooks to the rubber housing like the stock muffler and magnaflow muffler has. So i could just use the current clamps and it will be able to hold up the flowmasters, right?

It's highly unlikely you'll be able to swap mufflers without welding.

Yeah, welding is your best bet because it would be much easier than trying to get everything to work out the other way.

You have a catted midpipe, so its not going to be very loud with the Magnaflow catback. I have an O/R H and LT's with my Magnaflow CB and it sounds sweet. Should have gone with the Packs's with your midpipe.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you order them with an offset. I love the delta 40's with my magna x pipe, very smooth. but, also consider some bassani mufflers.

youre going to have to get mufflers that are the exact same length if you dont want to weld. on my american thunder mufflers (which are the 40's i believe) i welded a hanger on their anyway because those mufflers are quite heavy. your best bet is to weld. but before totally excusing the mangaflows, try the OR H pipe. it sounds sweet. at least it did with my packs. not sure about the chambers. but if you just want to doa muffler swap, your best luck will be to weld them...otherwise youre gonna stress yourself out trying to make em fit, or theyll be wabbling around without having that hanger on em.
