this sounds so good
he says he uses

a Magnaflow 2.5" SI/2.5" DO w/ a 16" body. and used 2.25" pipe instead of 2.5"

so does a 2.25 give it that sound ???

 

A muffler gives it the sound and tone. That combined with pipe diameters, number of tailpipes, type and size of tips, etc...all make small changes in the overall end sound and tone.

 

ok know i just need to find out the tips size

 

*add number of bends/straights to that list. There's alot of variables...and nothing, I mean NOTHING compares to hearing them in real life.

 

yeah i have yet to hear a magna flow real life i have a feeling they sound even better

 

you cant go wrong with Magnaflow! they definitely sound good in real life. its loud enough to draw attention and make the 4.0 sound better than it really is, yet subtle enough to be comfortable on long drives. I had a Flowmaster super 44 for a while, but the droning in the cab was annoying on long drives.

 

ok which is better a kit off of jegs or custom cuz i want the 2.25 pipe is that the main pipe? or all of it ,,,hahah noob question

 

I think the Magnaflo cat-back system is all 2.5" pipe.. not sure though. Check the magnaflow website.

i would go to a muffler shop and get it custom made. its cheaper, plus you can get exactly what you want in terms of pipe size, tailpipe exit, and exhaust tips. I never understood paying almost $500 for a complet kit when it cost me like $150 at the muffler shop to get it custom made

 

hahaha true

does bigger pipe gain or lose hp?

 

o andone more question if i get the 2.25 muffler will it if my stock headers

 

as far as gaining any power through a cat back exhaust set up, youre not gonna feel any real difference. it sounds good and "might" give you a mile or two better fuel economy, but thats it. pipe diameter is important to a certain degree though to maintain the proper back pressure.

not sure what you mean by "fitting the headers" lol

 

hahaha fitting the cats sry its 5am

 

Just take it to a shop, tell them you want a magnaflow put on and where you want the tip to exit and let them worry about the rest.

 

Heres mine, this is right after I put it on still not broken in.

 

the best i can tell those tips look like either 3"x16" or 3.5"x16". the look more like 3" dia though. its hard to tell without a better pic

 

sounds like a typical magnaflow setup to me. the tail pipes being off to the side might have made a difference.

 

What kind of sound are you wanting exactly? A low rumble, mellow smooth tone, higher toned and almost raspy? I'll post this up to give you an idea of how different the same muffler and truck can sound. The first one is a 3.0 cat back 2.25 40 series flowmaster SI/DO with 3x18" single wall angle cut tips and all cats intact. The second is the same size everything except 4x16" stainless rolled tips and no third cat.

And again, these are CLOSE to the actual sound if you have some good speakers, but you have to be in person to fully appreciate it.

 

Yea the kit comes with 2.5 inch piping. Heres a clip of the magnaflow kit on my truck.

 

trying to stay away form a ricey sound/and it looks like magnaflow FTW
