superman Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 come on i know someone has gotten this installed right????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 You mean this thingy? Actually, I am going back to stock. It is slight, but the highway drone is too much for me. Other than that is sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deezel Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Still too noisy, huh Dave? Are they going to switch it back for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yup they will put my stock system back for free. Most guys would not be bothered by the drone, but I am a bit sensitive about it, especially on long trips, when I cruise in the "drone zone".

emperor72 Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 You could always try putting a resonator after the cats-before the muffler. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 It comes with them. The 6.0 L engine is supposed to be bad about making the highway drone. That is why they have that funny dead end resonator in the stock exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 i wonder if the dual system would have more or less drone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 dcairns thanks alot for the picture. how loud is it on the outside of the truck? any power increase noticed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 The Magnaflow exhaust is not all that loud, but has a real nice sound to it. Kinda lets people know you have a healthy engine without attracting the attention of the police It wold be perfect for me if they could get rid of the drone. As far as performance goes, it falls into the subjective range. It is probably making a bit more power, but the subconscious "it makes more noise, it must be making more power" or "I just spend a wad of cash, so it must be faster" often deceives WAV recording of MagnaFlow.

orion :: SS Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 That '.wav' sounds just like my setup...two Magnaflow 2.5" in/out (p/n 12256) in place of the stock muffler, then a "Y" back to the stock tailpipe...but mine has less of that "corvette" or "true duals" sound b/c I added an H-pipe. And I have the same drone at cruising speeds (55-65 or so)...and under accel around town, from 1500-1800 or so. Anything above 2000rpm it's just nice a mellow. I just cruise at +70mph all the time! But I would prefer to cancel out some of the drone... - Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbohrs Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I have the same problem with drone at cruise. I'm really not sure whose system it is that I have on the truck. (I bought it used) Some friends of mine say it is Flowmaster, but that sound clip is very close to the sound I have on my system. Only difference is I have two pipes out the rear. Great sound, but on long trips it beats on you. I'd really like to go back to stock, or maybe a Corsa system like on my Corvette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 It seems all aftermarket exhausts have the drone to some degree. Magnaflow has the resonators to reduce it some, but it is still there. I am wondering if a dual stock setup would be best. Same sound characteristics, but more flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 you should have magnaflow throw the dual on for ya i think the orice difference is minimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
