I hate my Magnaflow muffler!
Does anyone know why my muffler produce fart-like sound (it's like sound is disintegrating and vibrating) when I run car when it is cold (by cold, I mean not driving car during previous 30 minutes or so). I can barely press gas pedal during this moment because if I do, that farting sound will come out, making my Tibby look like those cheap-muffler equipped Civic. This sound disappears after driving the car for couple of minutes, though.
So anyone know why this happens, and any solution to this? (If there is no solution, I think I will get new muffler).

Strange...I know of 4 magnaflow equipped Beta's and none of them have this problem.
Question...do you have a resonator/glasspack? If not, that may be the cause...as All are running some form of "premuffler".

I have a Magnaflow with a 2.5 custom cat back.. No fart sound here.. Sounds nice and smoth, but breaks up a little at about 6K.. The intake more than makes up for that though.. Thing is loud as HELL up there.. Might just be the Magnaflow you have.. Mine is only 3" outlet..

My car has 23" cherry bomb glasspack between the mid pipe. The fart sound definetely comes out at any RPM if I do not put any glasspack (but with 4-2-1 header). But I think this is different problem since it only happens during first few minutes...

alright im in the clearStrange...I know of 4 magnaflow equipped Beta's and none of them have this problem.
BTW,... anything in your exhaust can change the tone of your exhaust,... try changing glasspacks
Im not sure how the cherry bomb one sounds,... but you might want to switch something and try it out

How old is your MagnaFlow?
Could it be because the fiber in the muffler kind of contracts when cold? And the when hot it expands, thus giving more isolation?
How cold is it where you live?
