I've been looking at the magnaflow 14379 dual 2.5 in/2.5 out 4 x 9 inch oval muffler to add after my X-pipe, has anyone used this muffler? or similar one? I haven't checked yet to see if it will fit correctly..........just noticed it the other day.

The muffler comes in two sizes. Item# 11385 ids 2.25" inlet/outlet and Item# 11386 is 2.50" inlet/outlet. It is 20" long including the inlet/outlet extensions. There is is also a version that is only 17" in overall length. My exhaust comes off the factory manifolds and goes into the inlet side of the muffler. The muffler is positioned where the factory placed the front muffler on Euro models or the Cat on US models. From the outlet side of the muffler twin pipes run back following the factoury routing locations. There is no center muffler or rear muffler in my system. Just twin pipes with gentle bends and a only one weld joint per pipe. The fit is close under the rear crossmeber but does not rattle ot make contact. I reccomend thet the pipes have a fes cross braces welded to them to keep them constant in location to each other. I makes hanging them a snap and really cuts down on vibration. The whole system cost me less than 350.00 dollars

One more note I used the 4 inch can rather than the 5 inch can in order to preserve ground clearance. It let me keep all the factory head shields in tact without the system hanginf and lower than stock. In VT there are always potholes and frost heaves to deal with in the spring, John.
