Features and Benefits: MagnaFlow XL 3 Chamber Mufflers use a unique combination of large diameter perforated tubing and strategically placed sound baffles to reduce unwanted resonance and help your engine create horsepower.

The sound baffles tune the sound waves using calibrated tuning gate openings that allow portions of the waves to pass through. These tuned waves reflect off the back wall of the muffler and cancel out unwanted harsher sounds.

The large diameter perforated core eliminates the flow restrictions of a louvered style core. A careful balance between perforation size/spacing and the baffle tuning gate make for a great 3 chamber performance muffler.

All mufflers are reversible for custom installation. Backed by a Six-Year Limited Warranty. All welded and built to last. just to let some of the younger posters on this thread know i'm 45 and been in the game of building trucks and cars for quite a few years and i never answer a post if i dont know what i'm talking about

magnaflow is pretty much an expensive glass pack so it should be fine backwards

Honestly, i cant see why running them reverse would matter. The site for one, advertises that they can be installed either way. And have you ever looked inside a magnaflow? i bought two magnaflows for my truck, and looking inside them... you can see right through them. Theres no baffles that actually dirrects the exhaust. Its just muffles the sound alittle bit...

fartmasters are the ones you dont want to flip.. the MagnaFlow can be flipped its just going to make it alittle louder, now all you really did was turn the muffler into a big Y pipe.. post a video of how it sounds from a stop then taking off.. cuz reving the motor dont give the true sound..
