Alright, I finally borrowed my g/f's digital camera long enough to make a few short clips of my newly installed Magnaflow Muffler/Duals. The file names should describe what each clip is... The only thing is that they are in .mov format. I couldn't encode them any other way, so you'll probably need the quicktime player to see them. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. I thought this might help those folks that are trying to decide on exhaust stuff...

 

My truck is a 2003 RCSB 4.8L Auto, with a 3.42 Open diff. rear.

Only performance mods at present are a K&N panel and the exhaust.

 

EDIT: I almost forgot, right click and save these movies before you play them, it helps with bandwidth. Thanks!

 

Here's the directory with the movies:

Some pics of the setup and truck:

Specs on the Muffler:

Muffler is a Magnaflow Stainless Single 3/2.5 dual out.. Part # 14288

Tips are stainless Magnaflow 18 inch, 15 degree cut. Part # 35138-S

 

PS> Thanks to J-rod for the help with webspace and upload stuff. :loser:

Also, we'll probably do a few clips of his Flowmaster set up before long too, for comparison's sake. (When his Wester's tune gets here, I am gonna go steal his truck anyways, so I'll have plenty of time to video it. lol)

Hmmmm I've always been a flowmaster advocate but my opinion is starting to change because of all you magnaflow people....you don't seem to get that tin can/rice fart sound that I do out of my flows at high RPM and WOT.....o well my flowmasters are almost 2 years old anyway, they should start to rust through soon. I already have rust on the in and out pipes on the muffler, and where they welded the baffles inside the muffler, it's starting to rust on the outside????? Explain that one to me

My 40 series flowmaster on my 89' did the same exact thing. You could see the seam welds for the individual chambers. I ended up lightly sanding it, and painting it with Barbeque Grill paint. Worked like a champ on the outside, who knows on the inside, but it lasted really well.

You are the man...Do a search, and see how many people ask for sound clips.

 

We need more of these.

 

Thanks!...Have a VB!beer4.gif

No problem man. :mad:

 

I was one of the people searching for them a few weeks ago. I figured it'd help out to have a way to at least get an idea of what magnaflow sounded on newer model GM truck, even if it wasn't recorded in the best quality/conditions. I'd found a clip on magnaflow's site of a dodge ram, and a few clips of a dynomax superflow elsewhere, but never the particular one I was looking for.

 

Hopefully they'll be some more in the near future, and hopefully I can come up with a way to record in in .mpeg or .avi to make it easier to watch.

Yeah I like the sound of the flows, but they never seem to last....my friend literly blew the baffles off their welds in his ram......my blazers rusted out, and the one on my HD is beginning too...I really think I am going with magnaflow when it's time to replace it.

Great Sound clips man.... Definatly a plus to anyone looking at the magnaflow mufflers.

 

Has anyone installed the 5x11 Mufflers on a 5.3 truck with duals? Was this too much sound suppression or did you like it? Note. The muffler that was in these sound clips was a 5x8.

 

Magnaflow's site states that the 5x11 are for larger displacment and more sound suppression. However they provide maximum flow.

 

Thanks for the help.

Take pics if you can.

 

Sound track before and after would be great as well if possible.

 

Thanks, DEWFPO

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      No, not yet. Hoping I'll have something a little more definitive in the next day or 2. They seemed to be very confident they can order it. I do have some understanding of the whole allocations and restraints stuff so we'll see.   I think this is what I'm looking for.   3000 ORDER ACCEPTED BY PRODUCTION CONTROL

      Then you haven't read your book. It also says check every 400 miles.   If you need to add multiple quarts in that distance then reading the stick isn't the issue. Put the two together and it will make sense. Read it all.

      Weird drivability problem

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Following up on my topic, I put an O2 sensor in it which seems to have got rid of all the b2s1 codes (I ended up having multiple codes). Next I’ll try to figure out the P0011 but I might focus on exhaust manifolds first, they’re getting pretty rusty. I’m hoping this thread will help someone in the future.

      My expectations are a bit higher.    No faded paint or dry rotted plastic/rubber. I use a dressing and a ceramic sealant. No hazy headlights.  No door dings. Small dent in the front bumper. All rock chips repaired. No brush scratches. No windshield chips. No fender benders. Limit damage due to a proactive plan the included ceramics and PPF and prompt attention to any exterior issue. NO RUST. Stays out of the salt and had the rear wheel wells Line-X coated as well as the bed which has a bed rubber and has been under cover since before I bought it. Washed and detailed regularly. Rex chewed up the tow button, got whacked and the button replaced the same week. He's leaned his lesson. If I can train a dog the kids are easier.    All suspension is original save the King Shocks I installed very early on. 50 years ago dad told me a good shock will keep the screws in the dash tight and the front end mint. He was right. Everything within new spec yet, tight and aligned well several times. Coolant system is OEM save the modifications I made early on. Not a single leak anywhere on this machine. (Did repair an intake leak on #4 during the HPFP replacement.) The injectors I replaced didn't need to be. They checked out great. One of those, while I'm in there with the manifold off and the fuel rail apart things.  Not a stain or abrasion one to the upholstery. Have kept is covered since new. Never had a carpet, it's a work truck but the carpet squared I laid on the floor have keep the factory rubber liner MINT. Ceramic wind tint helps preserve the interior.    Original BRAKES with 60%+ left of the pads and rotors mic excellent. We just did a full preventative brake service. Disassembly, clean inspect including measurements, lube, Dot 4 power flush including ABS system.    OEM battery. OEM vacuum pump. In fact the only things not OEM are a pinion seal the high side pump and injectors and a small plastic shield around the starter. All hoses/belts etc.. are still in service and doing well. Original tires lasted 125K and had I known some additional details would have made it to 150K with legal tread. (Date out is six years, not 5 and Continental says they are good for 10 so I pulled the trigger to early)   I never let my children or grandchildren run the show. Feet on the floor and hands in your lap. Dog gets a pass.    A truck is a machine the gives you back whatever your willing to put into it. Same as a computer or a butter knife. I use a shovel but I scrap it, hose it off and oil it when I'm done with it. My original spade I've had 60 years.      Set the bar higher...you spend less money. No, before you ask, I have spent a fraction of the cost of a new truck in my entire maintenance program including disposables, filters/fluids etc.
