Hey Don,
Were you having the vibration problems with your Magnaflow, or did you just have the weights installed when the Magnaflow was installed just to make sure?
I have a Magnaflow 14468 and have not had any vibration issues at all.

With the Magnaflow and the weights the truck is nice and smooth.

2_FAST4U, I am going to Ted Britt Ford.
WHAT04, all of the pieces are coming together now. I remember now that they replaced my muffler right when I bought the L because it made a weird "squealing" noise (like belts) when the engine was hot. When delivered new from the factory, I noticed that my exhaust looked a little lower than everyone else's and didn't even fill the cut-out in the side-skirt. It didn't look great, but in hindsight it didn't vibrate either (just squealed).
When they replaced the exhaust muffler, I picked it up and the first thing I noticed was that it was mounted a little higher in the cut-out, which pleased me. But now I am realizing that it may have been mounted too high, and over time has been "rubbing" against the floorpan or body as you describe. I wonder if remounting the whole thing a little lower again will solve my problem without using the dampeners at all...
