Need new exhaust setup
Need new exhaust setup
Had a Magnaflow muffler i believe it was the 18" version.
i did like the the tone of it , it was loud enough for me without being annoying.
However , while driving down the highway today, heard a rattling coming from underneath the truck. As i was pulling off to the first possible exit, i noticed the rattling stopped, so i looked in the rearview and there goes my muffler

pulled over and took a look underneath , the welds from the hangers broke clean off.
luckily no one was behind me wen it broke off.
So right now , im running no muffler. i absolutely love the way it sounds, but its abit too loud on start up.
Any recommendations , from the exhaust guru's on something that has a bit more of a "throaty" tone than the magnaflow , with out being too loud. Basically want the sound i have now with no muffler, but a bit quieter.
Im not really looking for a whole "system" just want the muffler than just a turn down tip.

If your muffler fell off do you have any pipe after the end of the intermediate pipe? If not then you could probably just run 3" pipe the rest of the way out to a tip behind the tire. This would quieten it down some on the inside. At least that's my understanding of it.
Have you seen the exhaust poll? Check some of those out and see if you like any of them....find out what the guy is running. I can tell you now that Bullets are loud. As are SLPs.
Although, Dynomax does make an 18" Bullet. I think Jeff (CarolinaBoy) is planning on running an 18" Bullet. It should sound very similar to the 12" but be more to your noise level.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
i checked out the SLP and the magnapack on youtube, and wasnt too crazy about either of them.
Yeah the pipe is still there where the old muffler attached. would just extending the pipe towards the rear really quieten it down a good amount ?
i did check out the exhaust poll, i like your setup Mblouir and yours sounds pretty sweet too Darren.
Also youtube'd the Dynomax Bullet Darren mentioned , i think i like that sound the best. Im gonna do abit more research on the Bullet, but i think thats the way im going.
Darren im assuming that part # is the right inlet/outlet size i need ? 2 1/2" & 2 1/2"
Thanks for the help everyone, im a noob when it comes to exhaust

Summit has them for the same price and they are very fast with shipping since they have so many locations. I ordered my exhaust stuff and it was at my door the next day, with regular shipping.

Noob question , but if i went with the 16" vs 12" , the 16 would be abit quieter correct ?

Yes, the 16" would be quieter. Sorry, for some reason I was thinking the next Bullet up was 18".
