Anyone added extra mufflers after their longtube header install?

I'm considering adding 2 resonators where the stock cats were, and also a Magnaflow "2 into 2" dual inlet/ outlet muffler in the rear, just before the rear differential. I had done this with my SS sedan and it's the only way in hell to make things civil when using longtubes, even with the stock NPP system.

I would listen to it first - these cars have a much better stock muffler than the 5th gens.

I kept my stock mufflers when I did my off-road headers and midpipe. NPP compatible mufflers are retarded expensive, and it just wasn't worth it to me. When I need it quiet, I drive it in Stealth mode and it's right between the touring and track mode sound...not to quiet, but not obnoxiously loud either.

Borla lists a resonator section that is designed to be used with their X-pipe. It would go in place of some of the piping in other words. But I've seen no reviews of how well it works.

It works as intended. They used it on their shop car with the ATAK system to tone it down.

The middle resonator combined with the S Type is what composes their touring system.

I think you're incorrect. There's lot of room! Borla's dual 2.75" resonators would install in the rear where the factory crossover goes:



And two resonators will go in place of the downstream catalytic converters:
