XK Exhaust Mod Opinions
Went by a local exhaust shop and they "sold" my on going with two "offset-offset" Magnalow mufflers to replace the OEM muffler. The mufflers are stainless, but they said they could paint them black before installing. I am going with the stock exhaust tips and my goal is to make it as OEM looking as possible.
Has anyone gone this route with Magnaflow's before? Whole job will be under $600

The exhaust shop is suggesting to install the mufflers much further to the back and you have in your video with the original tips and pipe after the muffler. I am not going with dual tips. Do you feel the Magnaflow Cross pipe is essential piece? They are saying it is not worth it.
Basically, the mufflers would sit under the heat shield.

The XKR-S comes stock with the x pipe. If you have pre-resonators then yes I would have them replaced with one x pipe. The x pipe will "smooth/even out" the tone compared to straight pipes.
I am now scheduled to get HFCs installed on the 5/28 which should further increase the volume of the exhaust without really altering the tone.

Starting at 4:20 is where I decided it was too much for my taste.
You want agressive you go with these and yes our cars sound like Mustangs, I am pretty sure the 5.0 was developed with Ford.

Instead of spending MORE money to get louder, I'm just going to start at full volume and bring down to taste. Other then the horrible original tune for 1200 the exhaust was 2500 bucks in the garbage. So I'm feeling a bit of trepidation in spending cash on an exhaust until I actually drive the car with said exhaust system.
I want to hear a high HP V8, my car sounds like a 747 taking off at full throttle when the boost kicks in.

In my opinion and from listening to many videos on youtube, including mine and knowing what mine sound live I want to say that my exhaust now sounds like the quicksilver. Difference is that I have two mufflers instead of one but the mufflers are straight trough without a baffle. My guy originally wanted to install Super Series 10 flowmasters. This is the video that scared me away from this. You can also clearly hear the missing x pipe in neutral as it burbles back and forth between the left and right side, like a Harley on drag pipes without cross over.

Someone else did this awhile back and the results were good. Its a good low cost solution and you loose that extra weight behind the rear wheels.

So, the exhaust is getting done on Tuesday. I am going with two offset-offset Magnaflow mufflers and an x-pipe to replace the resonator. I hope this does not come out sounding like a juvenile fart can Civic... I'll never hear the end of it from my better half and friends. I've only told one friend and Elys doesn't know yet. Since I am keeping the stock tips, I want to see if she'll even notice. I am not going to paint the mufflers.
