    So I have my mind set on Magnaflow.

    Debating in my head between the 11226 that their site recommends, which is a straight through performance muffler.

    Also, saw a guy on YouTube with a 13256, which has a low tone growl to it. Almost sounds like a V8. It’s a 3 chamber muffler, which I’ve seen people call a turbo muffler.

    What I’m after here is experience from the forum members. Which mufflers have you all found to be great on the 3.4?

    Not interested in Flowmasters, as all the videos I’ve seen on YouTube don’t sound well for this motor, the 5FZVE.

    Any recommendations aswell as new ideas to explore are much appreciated.

    I have to agree, but my truck is almost as quiet as a Tesla. Unless I’m pressing hard on the gas, noise from the K&N
