Just Another Exhaust Thread
All based on what you want. A si/so with 3" piping is the best set-up these trucks can benefit from on a naturally aspirated engine. I prefer duals, so I went with a custom 3" single inlet (si) / 2.5 dual outlet (do). I love duals so it was not even a question I conidered to myself, but it is totally up to you. I agree with the magnaflow too. I have a 14" si/do and love it!
is the super 44 similar to the 14" body magnaflow? i have a si/do flowmaster setup not sure on the muffler but i dont like the sound when driving. sounds great at start up and idle but not so much at driving. and im wanting to change to something else. i had delta flow 40's true dual on my old 2000 5.4 and loved them but i dont want to drop 500 bucks for a set up like that on this truck.
The super 44 is considerably louder than the 14" body magnaflow. I prefer the maggie's clean deep growl, but that is just me. Flows tend to have rasp. The 14" maggie I believe once broken in would be just a tad quieter than the 40 series delta
The maggie improves across all rpms if I am not mistaken. It is a straight through design so it imrpoves low end. I noticed it on mine and I don't stomp on it what so ever. I think the # is stamped usually near one of the inlets/outlets of the muffler.
and thanks for all the help
There is one in my sig, but it does not do it justice.
Here's one of Darrens. Mine is just a tad quieter, but almost dead on in this vid because he has his cats.

not bad at all. i like how smooth it sounds vs. the flowmaster which is loud always. and if i add the high flows i realize it makes it deeper and louder but will it hurt low end or anything. the only reason i keep mentioning low end is i remember reading somewhere on a forum about some guys saying these trucks like back pressure and to much free flowing exhaust isnt good.
sorry for all the questions, and thanks

No problem. I love how deep these are versus the rasp of the flows. Here's what I seem to recall abou the hi-flows. The do make it louder and deeper, but they also help performance. You should see an improvment with them. There are two that I see mentioned. One is not at aggressive sounding and the other will make it sound almost catless. I would see how you like it once it breaks in if you decice on the maggie, and if it still isn't loud enough, look into hi-flow cats.
No problem man. Here's my thinking. Nothing to me will ever beat a 45'd split side exit. It just looks perfect to me for some reason. I would suggest 4"x18" tips run out split rear becuase as you pass things like buildings, walls, ect, the sound gets projected off them and makes it louder (echos) I love that. Just my taste though.
ok one more question lol, i heard some people mention the tips from magnaflow turn gold after a while or something is that true. i have silverline now which are stainless 18" long 3.5" out slash cut and they have held up very well i just think i want to down size just a little to like 12" long 3" outlet. with a angled rolled tip. still not sure on that either lol.
