    No and no.

    I had a chokemaster and it rusted from the inside out in about 2yrs in California.

    Go with something that's not chambered.


    And stick with a muffler only.... Unless ur going forced induction I see no need for a full catback.

    Muffler.....
    Go to a shop, ask them to suggest 4 mufflers after u tell them what ur looking for in terms of sound. But tell them u would like them to cutout the old muffler, and temp clamp in the mufflers 1 at a time BUT NOT TELL U THE BRAND, then let u start the truck.
    Let it idle, see if u like the sound.

    Throw a couple revs..... See if u like the sound...... Hold it around 2500rpm for a couple seconds and see if it will drone. (This is just a theory I haven't tested, since the engine isn't really under a load I don't know if this will be an accurate test of droning at highway speeds at all).

    Do this with all four mufflers plus or minus some, four was just a number I threw out.

    Pick the muffler based solely on what your ears seemed to like.

    After all..... Ur buying it for sound, not for the name.


    Kinda like buying speakers when u find a place that has a sound room...... U have someone flip the switch to different speakers after u narrowed it down to a few models, and u CLOSE YOUR EYES and pick the best sounding speaker based off of how it sounds while playing a few soundtracks of music/ movies u like.

    thanks

    I can't take credit for the idea, but I can help spread it around!

    I worked next to a muffler shop and when I wanted a muffler for my maxima at the time, that's what the tech did. It made perfect sense to me once I realized it was exactly how I used to buy home speakers when we actually had stereo shops around.

    Spread the info..... Its the only way to make a truley unbiased decision on some items. Name/hype can affect a buyers decision on many items in life.

    Youtube is helpful in finding exhausts.

    I went with an 18" Magnaflow (pn #12256) and couldn't be happier. I have videos on youtube .
