Moderate or Throaty Muffler upgrade

Just purchased from autozone online and got a $25 gift card when I selected ship to home. So $75 ain't bad for a flowmaster!

 

I really like my Thrush Exhaust i have.

 

Man I picked up a trd cat back for my 14 on Craigslist for 200$ bent the rear hanger and sounds better Id like to put a y pipe kit on it

 

Great find Plenty of options for the y-pipe including a custom built one you weld yourself.

 

Yeah I weld at a ship yard and if I could find a weld it yourself kit I would be all over it I've got a dynasty TIG machine set up at my house.

 

I like my 18" x 6" round magna flow, but it's a 6 so it will still sound "tuner" when you rev it. Here is a vid from the dunes... When it's working it sounds good...

Stopped in a friends muffler tune shop today and his father told me Magnaflow came in last month wondering why sales were down. The discussion leaned towards the number of exhaust outlets cracking and it seems to have impacted the shops backing of Magnaflow.
Magnaflow noted that the issue has been resolved and they should have no future problems.
Then we got to talking about my truck. I had planned to buy another TRD and modify the pipe for off road use.
I really am impressed with Flowmaster and their design but, in the end....dammit.... I am having him install the Magnaflow
Honestly, I have no problem with admitting that I went with Magnaflow just based on the sound. Yep, no more, no less. I am not expecting any gains, just sound .

 

Ive gotta agree with this, another reason why I got the 6 speed... me personally im very happy with TRD catback.. and some other exhausts sounds great on startup, but then they fool you, you get about half way through the rev band and you start saying wtf to yourself because all of a sudden uncle benny starts cooking the rice lol... ive heard quite a few different mufflers on these trucks, and quite a few different v6s on other branded vehicles, like this guy says, its very difficult to get any v6 to sound right, imo, the TRD does it the best justice it possibly can. Only other v6 ive heard sound good becides the vr6 is the the buick GN 3.8t , and some gm 4.3's , the stock exhaust on a g35 and the subaru 3.0 and 3.6... granted those are flat 6's but still 6 cylinder engines none the less lol also, ive never understood the hangup with magnaflow and the areo turbines on these trucks, I dont think either sounds particularly good in any way.... but, everyone's ears are certainly different, to each their own

 

Look at a spintech 9000. There's videos on YouTube. I had a flowmaster and it droned horribly and was a lot higher pitched then the spintech

 

Howdy,
I had a v6 Jeep and had a 60 series flomaster on it. It was deep with no drone. It is the only flomaster designed for a 6 cylinder engine. Check one out you might like it. Have a goodun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My 24" Magnaflow muffler sounds very good.

 

Yeah my 40 series FM sounds like crap lol. I just had it cut off and a turndown before rear axle. It is deff louder but I want deep. I do like the fact that I can actually hear it.

 

Don't agree that the V6's can't have a good exhaust sound. I've heard all of the popular aftermarket cat-back systems, the TRD system, and several simple muffler swaps. The MBRP dual system is what I have with a Vibrant resonator in the front head pipe which removes the residual rice and boom. On LB models, there's room for a second resonator if you want it even quieter. And, it sounds fine on the automatics.
