It's a Magnaflow SI/DO 14". It's the same length as my old one was. I "thought" my old muffler was a Magnaflow but it appeared to be a knock off brand of some kind. I wanted to get a pic of it to show how bad it was but I left it at the garage I worked on it and don't really want to drive 25 miles back to get it.
It turns out the drivers side tail pipe was only held onto the muffler by a little rusted piece of metal and that's where the majority of my exhaust leak was coming from. I still have a leak at the manifold but it's not bad at all. I'm going to see if my warranty covers it, I'm pretty sure it does and I only have about 6 or 7,000 miles left on it. I really don't want to tear the manifolds off of it. It was a PITA on my 96, it looks 10x worse to do on the 04.
I have about 60-70 miles on the muffler now and either I'm getting used to it or it's gotten a tad louder because I can hear a little rumble in it. Has to be at 2500+ RPM's though and since I very, very rarely go about 2100 RPM's I won't be hearing it too often

Well Honestly and I'm not kidding one bit. I started painting the truck about 2 years ago. Trying to finish it, but it's extremely painful for some reason lol. I've welded in new panels, done the body work, etched, primed, ready for the finish sand. My brothers, daughters all miss that truck, it's been around along time and we've all used it the past. So, I have to finish it, but it's slow going. My oldest daughter or I put about 10 miles on it once a month on jack stands. Just to keep everything lubed and the gas fresh. I could paint it now, but I'm not satisfied yet, it has to be perfect before I shoot it. It deserves nothing less.
