I had terrible resonance with Magnaflow mufflers when I had the dual exhaust installed (I've got the L98 though). Actually, MF didn't seem to pipe down the exhaust at all. Here is a video clip with

1) dual exhaust, ending under car, no mufflers
2) dual exhaust, Magnaflow mufflers
3) dual exhaust, stock mufflers

The stock mufflers did the trick to me compared to Magnaflow. The sound pressure dropped 10 dB in-car (both A- and C-weighted measurements)

=> hence the previous owner's MAGNAFLOW performance exhaust -sticker turned into the LOW performance exhaust -sticker
