Which Magnaflow Muffler?

Kerrslight · April 9, 2015

Hey guys,

I've been looking for some additional noise from my truck as all my trucks in the past have had some kind of a muffler on them. While I do love how quiet these new trucks are, they are just too quiet for me. My 03 Dodge ram had glasspacks and that was obnoxiously loud. My 08 silverado had flowmaster super 44 and that wasn't as bad, but by the time I got rid of the truck last year it was too loud for my liking. I've watched a bunch of videos with magnaflow mufflers and I like the sound and they don't seem to be as loud. Also, all of my trucks in the past have had turndowns from the muffler. This truck will have a pipe ran to the passenger side bumper. After doing some reading, I'm hungup on which muffler I'd be happiest with. I would like it to be heard on the outside, but I don't want to hear much on the inside of the cab at highway speeds. I'm afraid the 22" will be too quiet for what I'm looking for. I haven't heard much about the 18", very interested tho. 14" is appealing, but may be too loud in the cab. Really hoping to get some feedback for those of you that have experience with magnaflow.

Would love to see pics, videos, and sound clips if you have them!

I have the 18" and deleted the 3rd cat and flapper. There is definitely drone, but I'm getting used to it.

How did you route your exhaust? Turndowns, dual catback, side bumper?

Do you have any interior or exterior sound clips or videos?

It's many times louder than it sounds here:

Dual straight out the back.

I just put on the 14" today and a turn down before the rear axle. Pleased with the sound and slightly notice the drone when it's switched to V4. With the radio on windows up its not to noticable.
