Short sound clip of the 18" Magnaflow

 

 

Love they way that sounds. I want to do a single, 3" pipe, custom cat-back and probably go with a Magnaflow due to the fact they are stainless, many different choices and less expensive compared with a Borla. My question is oval vs. round muffler? I would guess if I went with round I would need a little longer one than a 18" oval to get similar sound results? Opinions please. I watched the Magnaflow youtube video with their cat-back single pipe system for the '14's and it was too quiet but that was a 22"muffler.

Only problem I have with adding ear-pleasing aftermarket exhausts is that they don't play well, sound-wise, with the switch to 4-cylinder mode. Doesn't sound natural.

I can barely hear it switch evewn with the rear slider open. I will soon get a tune and disable it.

Kinney's huh? Short drive for me. Looks like they removed a cat or two to install the true duals? Right at the beginning I paused it to verify. It does sound good and the install is professional, but it sure looks to me like they removed a cat.

 

I saw these, too, and emailed them about cost. They replied with a quote of $825 and said it would take about 3 hours to complete. I have no idea if this is a median price but I do love the quality appearance and nice sound.

I did the same thing and was quoted the same. Seeing as how a bolt on single cat back is >$500, I think I might go for this with the 22" Magnaflows...(I have a Camaro with 3" duals and flowmasters with a 468, so I don't need that with my truck).

I can tell you now that my Magnaflow has broke in the truck sounds great now. I did the Magnaflow 5x11x22, deleted the backpressure valve and the rear resonator.

I was quoted 495 for a single in dual out system installed (just cutting out the current muffler and going from there) in aluminized or 650 for stainless. Does this sound about right to you guys?

Just had an 18" Magnaflow 1 in two out installed on mine. What a difference! I'm old school so I had them run the pipes behind each mudflap with the OEM polished tips.

 

Sounds really good, no drone even in V4 (hopefully disabled soon).

 

Had the resonator removed along with the noise making, spring loaded whatchamacallit.

 

OD price was $200 Dollars, would have been $250 but I had to wait an hour longer as they ran out of shielding gas. Sure beats the $800+ for a Magnaflow catback.

Pardon my ignorance but what is the difference between what you did and a cat back? Just a pipe from the muffler to the Catalytic converter? I assume they used Aluminized piping?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
