Magnapacks may have been better for my drone tolerances.
Dont you know backpressure is a myth?

Well I made a decision and ordered the magnapacks.

I kinda wanted to try the magnaflow glasspacks and if i didnt like it, try something else but figured everything else will be SS so why make the mufflers the weakest part.

When i get this done (which probably wont be till maybe next weekend) would it be a good idea to get everything welded and clamp the mufflers till im sure i like them and then have them welded?? At least that way i could re-sell them right??

The exact term for backpressure is the event of a vehicle coasting down hill and when the driveshaft spins faster to the non accelerating engine the rpms still rise in which pressure builds up in the exhaust and you will hear the noise and the popping occur. That, is backpressure. Static pressure, velocity, and flowpath is what makes an exhaust [u]perform[/b].

As to removing welded mufflers, welds can be broken. And old pipe inside inlet/outlets can be removed. I sold my used 11" Magnaflows for $60 shipped. That paid for the Bullets that I scored both for $50.
