2014+ Exhaust Systems & Mufflers


Recommended Posts

 

 

That's what I had done. I with with a dual-walled 4" tip. Sounds great.

 

 

What's the difference between a single and double walled tip? Thanks for all the help.

This will explain a bit. http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts-mufflers/what-are-the-different-types-of-exhaust-tips

 

In addition to this, I will add that if the outside diameter of both tips are the same ex:3" inlet with a 4" outside diameter, then the single wall will change the exhaust note slightly as you have added a small echo chamber that is slightly larger ID than the tailpipe previous The double wall will typically maintain a similar ID as the OD the tailpipe, and will merely extend the tailpipe and add an appearance factor to the vehicle without changing the exhaust note in any noticeable fashion.

 

I typically install my exhaust, then listen to it and decide if I want the same exhaust note or if I want to change it. If I like it the way it is, then I use a double wall that maintains the tailpipe diameter throughout it's length. (I do prefer the look as well).

 

If I want to change the exhaust note then I will use another tip, typically a single wall. I will use different diameters and lengths to accomplish the tone that I am searching for.

 

There are double wall tips that have a larger ID than the OD of the tailpipe, however that end up have a significantly larger OD than a comparable single wall tip and to me, look out of proportion.

 

The information that I've stated is based on using a slip fit exhaust tip and not a weld on. That can change some of the references to ID and OD depending on manufacturer.

All of these sounds clips of the Magnaflow are great. I'm looking to put one on my truck, but I'm unsure which I should get. I'm loving the sound of the 14" in the clips, but I don't want to listen to my wife bitch because it is to loud. If I do the 14" with resonator delete but leave the flapper, will I get pretty decent sound. I'm primarily looking for some rumble at start up and when I feel the need for speed. I'd like it to be pretty quiet at cruising speeds.

Exactly. This is what it looks like.

Maybe try the 18". If you leave the flapper on, no matter what muffler you go with, it won't be loud at all.

I was afraid of that. I personally like the meaner sound of the 14", but we take my truck on road trips for the extra room for the kids. I know my wife will complain the entire time if I go to loud. 95% of the time it wouldn't matter, but that other 5% has the potential to be a real pain in my a$$.

Guys, I have read so many threads on this and I still don't quite know what I should do. I thought I had it down to an 18" MF out to a 45 behind the wheel.

 

Then I saw the Gibson cat backs which look nice. I might even go with the 1 in 2 out to 45 behing the tires. I am concerned the Gibson may be too loud based on clips I have seen.

 

Which option would you go and why?

I have the Gibson swept side setup. Single in single out, both 3.5". It's a turbo style muffler with only two perforated tubes. It's deep burble at idle but makes decent noise when you get your foot in it. Probably very similar to the magnaflow 18". I wish I had gone slightly louderto be honest.

Thanks for the info. How is the drone?

I've got 2 14" Magnaflow's sitting in the garage that are part of a GTO catback. I guess I need to get off my behind and decide what to do with them. Had a 14" on my Avalanche with a turn down and it was VERY aggressive. Looking for more toned down on the truck.

Corsa Sport arrived today and dropped it off at the Muffler Shop, will be waiting at the door in the morning . Wanted to have system welded but a Corsa Rep said it would cause warranty problems. Feel kinda' guilty having a Custom Exhaust Shop install a kit, I'm thinking it would take a few hours and the price to fabricate same type of system .

I think I will be going with the Gibson when I get around to it. I did a little more research and it seems like the mandrel bends are prefered to a pressure bender that I would get at a muffler shop. It's probably only $200 more that what a muffler shop would charge for a magnaflow and piping.
