Kent's SS Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 As with any of the mods available for our wonderful trucks (or any vehicle for that matter) I am finding myself with more and more questions the more I read the forums! I have a stock exhaust on my 06 SSS. The only real performance mod I have is a K&N CAI. I am looking at getting a tune but am thinking that an exhaust system may be best to get first and then get the tune. What my question is though is what exhaust is best for someone that is looking for a somewhat deeper and throaty growl but does not want to have the really loud reverbarating, rattle the neighbor's windows, type of exhaust. Don't get me wrong, that is really cool but I have to keep my truck somewhat domestic so that my fiance won't mind when I come in and out of the driveway! I'd like something more noticeable than the stock system but nothing that will get me pulled over. It would also be nice to not have much additional cab noise if possible. I have read that the Corsa exhaust systems are awesome but are really loud. Almost the same for MagnaFlow. I have read that some owners have the GM PP cat-backs but didn't really get a sense as to how loud they are. Any suggestions for someone just looking for a nicer sounding exhaust that will attract some extra attention without being too obnoxious? Thanks everybody!

wody Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 i'd say its pretty much between corsa and magnaflow on this site. im going to run two magnaflow mufflers with a x pipe along with my longtubes. i know some people prefer the tone of magnaflow over corsa cuz they say corsa is too raspy.

AUTOGUY Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Magnaflow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent's SS Posted January 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 What have you guy's found to be a reasonable price for the MagnaFlow systems? I still want to keep the original side exit exhaust. I found MagnaFlow system 15838 on eBay for around $550. Is this a reason price? Also, is the MagnaFlow REALLY loud? That is my biggest concern. I just want some nice grumbling but nothing really annoyingly loud. Thanks for your opinions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 (edited) honestly i would just buy the muffler you want and have an exhaust shop fab up the pipe or if you're a do it yourselfer then you could do it. where do you want your tip(s)? no magnaflow isn't VERY loud........cutouts are. thats why i have my cutouts un-capped all the time.

RevolutionRaceWorks Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Corsa touring is not very loud.. the sport is the louder of the two and the more you do to the truck the louder anything gets.. headers ditching the cats ect.. just makes it louder and louder.. The magnaflow system with the secondary resonators is a fairly mild system in my opinion quiet enough to be respectable around town but when you get on it, it has a nice growl. I have both versions of corsa.. right now running the touring muffler to quiet my truck up as much as I can. But I am in the process of possibly selling my headers so if that happens and I go back to stock cats and a diffrent header.. I will use the sport muffler again. I have never gotten pulled over for sound it really just depends when you jump on it and who's around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually thinking about this after looking at the MagnaFlow site and such. I wondered if a muffler only replacement would help out any in terms of both sound and performance. I may check into this. Can you buy just the MagnaFlow mufflers? or do you have to get the complete system? Or do you (anybody) recommend a specific muffler? Thanks for all the great suggestions!

mmeado Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 You could try a flowmaster, that is what I'm looking at getting. Here are some sound clips: http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/mufflers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent's SS Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've read a few good things about flowmaster as well. Question: Would replacing just the muffler on an otherwise stock exhaust system still provide improved sound and some performance gains? Is the factory piping really restrictive on air flow or is most of the restriction from the factory muffler? What are the exact muffler part numbers for the either the MagnaFlow, Flowmaster, or other brand mufflers for an 06 SSS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) check put summitracing.com. you can look for dual in dual out, dual in single out, 2.5", 3". different sizes and lenghts. short, more compact mufflers are usually louder. keep that in mind.
