bigvette Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Having a real issue finding a muffler to replace the stock SSS.. The only (nearly) match that I can find (2 3/4" dual in / 3" dual out) ( I know, the secondary out is a fake), is from magnaflow ( dual 3" in & out).. Everybody wants to replace the entire setup with 2 1/2" single in / 3" out systems... That just doesn't make sense - as the bigger tubes (especially the duals) have to flow more than a narrower single. Anyone have opinions / or advise, I would appreciate the input... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 i currently have a dual in/out 2.5 magnaflow with integrated x pipe but im now going to a 3 dual in/out magnaflow with x pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artval Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 i have a magnaflow muffler dual in dual out 3 inch. The only thing that i do notice is that the noise inside the cab, while cruising at speeds ranging from 65 mph to 75 mph, is very (very very very) loud. so, if you like loud, i guess it's ok. just turn up the radio a bit. AUTOGUY: How is the interior resonance on that setup? How about the exterior sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) Not bad at all. Make sure if you do this type of set-up that you use an X-pipe. It is deafening without one!!! Exterior sound is awesome!! Edited July 26, 2006 by AUTOGUY (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlifess Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 I have a dual 3'' in and a single 3.5'' out with a 4'' tail pipe.its just right for me not to loud in side and a good rumble outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4U Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) I went with the Flo-Pro 2504 Muffler 3" Dual Inlet, 2 1/2" Dual Outlet, with duals out the back. It is a little louder than stock, and according to their web site they claim "Performance without Interior Noise".

bigvette Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 OK guys, I went with the MagnaFlow 3" D in / D out muffler and the above post was right - IT IS LOUD inside the truck..It is almost embarassing in city traffic since I haven't been to see Bryan yet - hoping that his tune will balance the power range a bit. Being a big dummy at this, someone mentioned the addition of an X pipe to reduce the noise level.. Here's the question - Where does the pipe go ( in front of the muffler?)? and how does that reduce interior noise levels?? Thanks in advance for your input////// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigvette Posted July 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Ahead.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks - Im due at the muffler shop on Monday - as he didn't get the tip exactly level when he installed the muffler.. Any idea how this reduces the noise levels ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sum 1 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I run LT's -> cats -> 3" X -> 3" I/O 6x30 rounds -> turn downs behind the bumper. No resonance and completely quiet cruising but it sounds very deep at idle and when getting on it. The round Magnaflows have direct chamber through them so the flow's unrestricted at high RPM. This is the best exhaust system I've ever had out of a dozen V8's/muscle cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bake90 Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Does anybody have a sound clip of those "Round Magnaflow's"?? I can't decide whether to go with them or FM 40's. Thanks!! Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
