I ordered the wrong can (part#12599) thanks to some members here my bad.
took it to the exhaust shop, happy to install it, then was embarrassed: "this can is too big for your car", the shop owner said. lucky me he bought it the same day. now the "right muffler is on the way (part#12469), hopefully. |

For the customer we tested on, we ordered the same part number (Jones MF2469) from either Turn14 or Motorstate (not sure which). This was a true X-pipe pictured below. I went and opened the box for my mid-muffler that I ordered (same part number) and it is indeed a dual Y like yours. I then checked one we had on the shelf for a future customer, and it is also a dual Y. Same part numbers, 2 ordered from summit, 1 ordered from a different warehouse. I have a feeling summit's lot is all misboxed mufflers, or they made a design change for no reason. The alternative that I will now be a test dummy for is dual MBRP R1017 straight-through mufflers which are 22" resonators. In theory since there is more "muffled volume" and it is a longer case length, it should effectively be a little quieter. https://mbrpexhauststore.com/r1017-m...-overall-t304/ Shown below is what the x pipe should look like in jones MF2469 For now, I would avoid ordering the summit link that i posted for the Jones MF2469 and source it elsewhere. I apologize for the bad link, the part number is indeed correct, but it does appear that summit has a bad inventory batch |

I swear when I installed my Magnaflow it was a true X and not a dual Y design, but now that I've seen some that are a dual Y design, its got me questioning what I originally saw. I did purchase my Magnaflow muffler last year, I just finally got around to installing it about 3 months ago, so if the design changed, I was thinking I might have the older true X design but now I can't be certain because its been so long ago. I may end up going with dual resonators again even if its louder. There is one more option though even though its not ideal either, the SLP Loudmouth 2 PN 31067 bullet muffler. These are shaped like resonators but they actually have packing inside. They are 3" in/out however they do shrink to about 2.5" internally to allow for the packing in the 4" body of the muffler. Obviously going to a dual 2.5" section of pipe is more restrictive than dual 3" exhaust, but it should still be considerably more free flowing than a single 3" pipe section. |

Internally, these neck down to ~2.75 similar to the SLP you are referring to. So there is 0.625" radially to fit packing if they designed it that way. They do feel solid/heavy, and not pingy/hollow, so it is possible the MBRP have a muffler packing. The volume is not too bad on the ARH + S-Type setup, but it does have some harsh tones that I am trying to get rid of. If this go around doesnt work, I will be selling the borla S-type and switching to a stainless works legends series as a new base muffler. I heard a car in person with that system and it sounded great |

A follow up to anyone inquiring about the MBRP R1017 route:
Email response from their engineers: "Good Afternoon - R1017 is 3” Inlet/Outlet, 22” Body Length, 4” Outside Body Diameter, 26” overall Length. It has a layer of stainless steel wool over a 3” perforated core with the remaining area filled with ceramic blanket. " As I suspected, there is quite a bit packed in that. It should bring down the volume quite a bit (not as much as a true muffler). Airtroop and Camaro1973 have some good feedback as well that is promising. I think in the end, the tone of the borla mufflers in off-road exhaust setups is a bit too raspy for most people. In all street/catted setups, the borla mufflers sound great. I'd be curious to try the high HP gesi cats as well. I am still going to stick to my gut and switch to the stainless works legends series when the time is right. Another theory that myself and another tech have, the exhaust port (even when cnc ported) is very tiny coming out of the header. When using a 2" header, the exhaust gases take a very sharp turn coming out of the port, and collides with the 2" primary walls. i think this is a big source of harshness in any exhaust tone. I am planning on doing a CNC stainless exhaust flange to properly transition from the LT4 exhaust port to a standard size pipe primary. This test will be for another day |

I have an issue with the MBPR resonnators I bought for my system. I have ARH 2" hdrs with high flow cats into 3" straight pipe to AWE touring. The area in the middle of the area where the resonnators (pic below) go will not allow fitment. The pipes (pic below) I have are too close to one another to install them. I would have to try and bend them after cutting and it is next to impossible to move them that much. In the center they run about and 1" apart. You need more room for the body of the resonnators to fit. Consequently I cannot install these resonnators and will sell them.
