UPDATE- the 14" SI/DO maggie is on...again, I swapped it with my Flowmaster super 40 SI/DO. Ive only drivin it for a little bit but I think I gained my low end back...seems like I can light um up a little better. As for sound...maybe a little bit quiter but I like the tone...very low mean rumble...but this could change as I know it takes a little time to break in. Ill get a video this weekend for your viewing pleasure

later guys...

Good to hear you got some power back

I have a 14 inch SI/DO Maggie and after a few days of driving it got noticably louder. Still not as loud as I would like, I halfway blame that on these damn resonator tips that the exhaust place put on though

Glad to hear your happy
My maggies broke in pretty quick so it shouldn't take long for the sound.

Bartak why did they put resonators on it.I would swap them out for some tips

I have been saying it for awhile with a true duel set-up but was not sure on a cat back system.The flows killed my trucks low end and i am serious.Like i said my truck would barely sqeal the tires with flows.Switched mufflers and it spins them without much effort now

mgp32 do you have any of your 0-60 records or anything from your edge?

I picked up a 3" SI / SO maggie earlier this year but I just haven't stuck it on yet, I am trying to convince the wife I need long tube headers.


I wonder how the procharger will help it run

As a matter of fact I do! I didnt even think of that! Its going to be fun to compare!Ill do a 0-60 run tomorrow(at work right now) and Ill let you guys know the numbers and Ill also get that video up sometime this weekend. Hopefuly I can get my Girlfriend to video tape and Ill get one with me driving off. Off the top my head Im not sure what my best time was with the flows on.

I guess thats all they had. I took them the muffler and asked them if they had tips and he goes "Yeah, we have some nice 3.5 inch slash cut stainless ones." I figured alright, exactley what I want. He didnt mention the resonators though...that was the first thing I noticed as I was pulling in to pick up the truck

Once I find some tips locally, they are coming off.

As I promised I made a video for ya guys. I also did another 0-60 (level 2 lightly customized...these are the same settings that I did for my flows). I ended getting .2 faster! Now at 8.4 even tho Im sure I could do better If I got some higher octance and customized 3.

Seems to be running good and sounds good

After driving it now can you feel the dif?
If the edge is right 2/10ths of a sec is lot to knock off and you should be able to tell in power

Nice, sounds a lot like mine. Ive had mine on for 3 weeks now. I though after the first few days it was done breaking in and was as loud as it was going to get, but this last week it has gotten louder again.

Kevin, I might end up getting some tips from there. Same place I bought the muffler and they were pretty good.

I have the single side exit Borla exjaust on my truck, and love the way it sounds. As far as I know, you probably get better sound from a dual exhaust, but more performance from a single exit setup, expecially on the bottom end where you need it most.
