as some of you know i am doing long tube headers into hi flows into a 3inch y pipe, and am debating which muffler to go with maggie 12588 or borla 40349, not looking for crazy loud, actually looking for less noise as my truck is used mainly for towing, and with 2 little ones in the back the les rumble the better i know headers and cats will add sound but any suggestions will be great

 

either one of those will be loud with ur headers and high flows. your kids will be all pissy if its too loud i bet, so i would put on either an 18" or a 22" magnaflow. itll sound nice outside, but very little drone in the cab

 

jay im in the same boat but i dont have kids, i have long tubes with hiflow cats and a dynomax bullet holy crap its loud wot and idle is not bad but buts its the in between i cant cruise at 60 it drives you out of the truck. im looking for a nice quiet muffler

 

well the magnaflow part number is the 22inch the borla is a 19 inch, the shop doing the work suggests possibly putting a twister resonator in front of the muffler as it doesn't loose much flow but quiets it down a bit more, any thoughts on this? or any one heard of this?

 

I'd give the ProXS a chance. Theres alot of Magnaflow going around, a change would be pretty interesting to see. The ProXS and 22" body are real calm mufflers. You might not need the resonator, but if it comes to it you could always go back and get it done.

 

yeah i think i might try the borla, theres tons of great reviews on magnaflow but i think i might go for the borla, its slightly cheaper too

 

Love my gibson, its pretty quiet unless you get really into the gas pedal

 

i agree with darrin give the XS Pro a chance

 

Darren do you know if the borla is a similar construction to the magnaflow, on summits site it says its a baffled muffler

 

its very similar. even looks almost the same. if i didnt already have my maggie stuff i would be tryin the pro xs on my 02 with longtubes and high flows. just look at this pic of it, not baffled. it should do ya good!http://www.borla.com/proxs/pages/muflrdual.php

 

They are straight through but have little plates in the surrounding tube inside to act as baffles, just like most glasspacks are.

 

personally if you want a mean sounding exhaust and still looks good go with a catback exhaust system with no mufflers sounds very nice.

 

that is a waste of money. all that is, is just new piping no mufflers. complete waste. and you must not have read the OP, he said he doesnt want loud because of the 2 kids in the back.

 

I said nothing about it being loud mine's not that loud it sounds nice and I have people ride with me and none of them ever complained about the noise and it not that loud in the cab.

 

and if he is doing headers like he claims he is it going to be loud no matter what you do I have to friend that did headers on their truck and their not that much different
