Si/So QUIET muffler? Borla, Magna, Corsa?

Ok guys, after flipping through hundreds of setups and trying to listen to exhausts on youtube...I need some advice...Here is the setup I am considering:

Magnaflow, Borla, Corsa, or Summit (haha) 22 or 24" Si/So Muffler.

I want to have the muffler shop rip my old piping out from the stock muffler, back, mount the new si/so muff...

install one of these right after the muffler:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RBP-9...Q5fAccessories

(RBP 2.5" to 4" adapter)

then run 4" piping all the way back to the black RBP 4" inlet to 5" outlet tip exiting at near OEM location:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RBP-4...Q5fAccessories

Also, I would go under and paint 4" piping with high heat black...

I think it would look different, and cool as hell. I hate it when trucks have pipes about 2" thick, and then 12" long tips going to like 3.5 or 4" , and yiou can see the transition of size from behind the vehicle... tacky IMO


BTW, I have flows in my lightning...too loud....Im looking for a quiet rumble, not very loud inside, idling, or cruising...maybe a little growl when getting on it tho

ALSO BTW: getting XD Hoss Machined/Black 20x9 on nitto terra or cooper LTZ 305/55/20 next week.

Also ordering Harley headlights, and some sort of black grille combo soon


any opinions, suggestions, comments?!

Yep that 22" body is probably what you will mostly want.

Okay thanks...how will that maggie sound vs. borla and corsa?

Also, will that larger piping behind the muffler affect the back pressure or sound or anything?

It will be the deepest toned, Corsa isn't too deep sounding. No you will be fine.

just use one off a f250 with a powerstroke, i did. also you dont see any transitions in pipe size because its 3.5 from the y pipe back, also i cut it out so the Y goes straight to 3.5, does that make sense? probably not without pics. here is my thread on it.

magnaflow is a deep melow tone i like it, i have a true dual xpiped 11inchbody exaust set up so its very loud...if you want really quiet u could put a glasspack before your muffler aswell..just a thought

thats a great idea for what i want to do, thanks!

Trying to find someone who bends 3.5" or 4" pipe is impossible...

So I would just find the piping off of an f250 from muff back to exit, and use that to run from my magnaflow to the tip?

So it would go through the Cat, then the glasspack, then the magnaflow?! do i have room for all of that?

To be different.

(no offense to anyone) but i have the dual 3" side exit tips on my lightning, had the dual 3" slash tips exiting straight out the back of my old 99 Ram 4x4, and just wanted to do a different looking setup than every other truck you see driving down the road with dual 3" chrome slash-cuts exiting straight out...Just my honest opinion....

Also....why would you put all these saleen parts on a non-saleen truck? looks stupid IMO

Under a truck theres room for anything . The intermediate pipes are longer than 4', which is plenty for a 12" glasspack and 14" - 18" muffler.

i used basically the whole system, minus about 4 ft of straight. but to answer your question, yes it should be all you need, well it worked on my expo anyways.

I am going to get some pics of it, personally i like it. maybe it can help some ppl on here do something to their trucks for the cheap, its got to flow way more than the stock, and i dont think it hurt torque. ill take some pics of my stock muffler too, just to show the difference.

i think alot of ppl would like it as it is without any cats.
