I love a low-cost alternative solution that works. :-)
By the way, I'm surprised to hear that a Magnaflow is "quieter" than
OEM, but then my experience is with the Magnaflow performance line. I
have a pair of their welded-case mufflers on my '69 R/T, and while I
love them they're not exactly "quiet." I take that back, they ARE quiet
at idle and cruise, but when you stand on it they let out a pretty good
bark. A few weeks ago I was out driving in the country with the top
down, not really getting on it or anything. I pulled up to a stop sign,
and the pickup truck that had been cruising behind me pulled alongside,
and the driver said "man, it warms my heart to hear that big-block
sing!" Then he turned right and I got to hear his 24v Cummins sing a
bit....
