I need your opinions on a few exhausts that I have been debating between for a while

tacoskim,i just put a magnaflow catbck on my 08 it has a 3 inch tail pipe and it a little ricie sounding i believe its from the bigger tail pipe im like you if i had it to do over i would have gotten just the muffler and welded it in the oem piping . ilove the way the exhaust sounds when you get on thr throttle a little bit but when your crusing along and overdrive kicke in it sounds kinda bad i thought about selling it it only 3 weeks old but my buddy tells me it sound better when it breaks in i never hered of a muffler breaking in my advice is find a muffler you like and save your self a bunch of money and have it weded in your oem piping amd buy you a chrome tip for it

 

oh boy... this might have made my decision to go with Gibson... I want 0 rice noise... Let me know if it breaks in and gets any better.

 

So I have done some more research and found out that most people that got the Magnaflow full cat back wish they did just the muffler alone on there stock piping... I am kind of debating on saving some extra $ and doing just the muffler as well... but I really want a good sound no rasp and no rice...

should I do Magnaflow muffler? or any other muffler suggestions?

 

ju7st get a flowmaster original 40 series and weld it into the stock location/stock pipe. save money and have a deep rumble.......no rice man!!!

 

That sounds beautiful.... best sound clip yet for the Gibson... I no longer am going the cheap route of just the muffler... I am calling my brother now and ordering the Gibson! Aluminized should be fine for SoCal

 

Lets just say hypothetically speaking if I were to only do a muffler... what one would get me closest to that sound of the Gibson?

 

Oh I am a dummy... i didnt think of Gibson making just the mufflers... Any part # on the one that comes on the catback?

 

Called Gibson got the part # and sent them our wholesale license... not to shabby! Time to get rollin!

 

The Gibson Catback is fully bolt on right? No welding?

 

Perfect! Makes more sense to buy the bolt on vs. pay a shop to weld in a muffler alone and only save 20-40 bucks.

 

mjp2 is this your truck?

 

Yes, that's his.

 

Ordered my Gibson today... picking it up at Gibson in Corona this coming Monday!

 

glad you finally made a decision. my exhaust still hasnt come, so i called URD yesterday and they now say that my cat back hadn't shipped from JBA and instead that its actually backordered for about 2 weeks. dammit i want my growl!
guess all i can do is wait
