@Taskmaster, I think that OEM muffler is 2,25" and I still have OEM resonator.
Yeah now I know you are right and that I need bigger and closed muffler more like Eisenmann but man they are expensive.

@3002 tii, so basically another Magnaflow muffler before the OEM one should do the trick? Hate to buy another one but it's still cheaper than Eisenmann.

I'm getting back to the workshop tomorrow putting the OEM back for now.

Edited: or maybe I should use both? 12138 before resonator? does that have any sense?
The OEM muffler inlet is about 2.5" but yes, you'll need a larger muffler (which I would recommend over running two if possible)

You can utilize a quieter muffler, but it will cost power (like the OEM)

A Mustang magazine did a test with a few mufflers a few years back:

Simplest goals - Use the biggest case you can find, and toss an ultra quiet resonator (basically a resonator that muffles SOME - but not an actual muffler replacement) Use the proper diameters for best power.
