    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

    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?

    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? :)

    Probably a Gibson. :rolleyes:

    I had swapped a Gibson muffler onto a Bassani exhaust on another vehicle and was thrilled with the tone and the fact that it didn't resonate in the cab.

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

    No welding and everything lines up perfectly. It was a relaxing driveway upgrade. Didn't even have to jack the truck up.

    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.
