Doesn't look like I'm going to have tips in before I go in for the magnaflow install. Oh well, at least that's a simple fix lol.

What magnaflow did you go with? Also how are your routing your pipes?

Ok. Well definitely getting rid of it then! Haha. I plan to get a tune at some point down the road so AFM won't be here for long. From what I've heard/read, the V4 drone with the 18" isn't too bad. I had a Flowmaster Super 44 with turndowns from the muffler and that V4 drone was AWFUL! This shouldn't be anywhere near that. My Muffler should be here tomorrow. Getting super stoked to have it put on

I have an 18" and no, its really not that bad. I honestly don't even pay attention anymore. At first I didn't like it and I would unconsciously pay attention to it. Now I can drive for hours and not even think about it. I think I'm gonna get Justin to tune it out next time I sent a tune in though.

Overall very happy with the 18" Magnaflow. Very little drone, great tone, and pretty non existent while cruising. It seems to have hit the nail right on the head with what I was looking for. Here's the only 2 pics I took for now. Not the best. I'm debating on whether or not I like the angle of the tip. When it was up on the stand he asked if I liked where it was before he welded it on there and I said yes, but I'm starting to think I should've gone closer to the wheel. Any thoughts?

Thanks man. I think it just looks strange to me right now because I didn't originally have a tip. Love the sound tho. Thanks for the help with the muffler!

I don't know who told you the 18" is too loud but they were lying. I have an 18" single in, single out and for me its perfect. Not too loud, but not too quiet. Luster has a 14" that he daily drives and sounds great, which I don't even think thats "too loud" either.

 

Agreed... the 22" is just a stock replacement that is maybe 5% louder than stock (guessing). The 14" gives you a hint of the muscle-car sound. If moderately louder, but still pretty tame, is what you want, the 18" Magnaflow is the way to go. :thumbs:

Ya it looks good. I'm back looking at duals again and this set up looks like it's in a similar position as yours. Yours may be closer to the wheel actually which looks better in my opinion

Thanks man. It's growing on me every time I go outside and see it. Those are definitely further from the wheel as there is a 45 degree bend to put them in the corner of the bumper. Mine is more or less the factory pipe location. I just had him cut 8" Or so off the factory pipe so he could keep the tip tucked in. I didn't want it sticking out past the wheel or quarter panel

Now all you need to do is get rid of those hideous All Terrain wheels. Don't worry though, I can take those off your hands. :cool:

Haha I see what you did there. Man I love these wheels. One of the reasons I went with the all-terrain package. I'm just waiting for these tires to wear out so I can put some new tires on there. Going with some 305/55/20 Toyo ATII. Can't wait.

You'll rub your sway bar with that size of tire on a stock wheel. I have 18 offset and 295/55/20 and rub the sway bar slightly at reverse full lock

Yea that's what I've heard. I've looked at the tires tho and with the 305/55 I get the Extreme tread pattern. That's really what I'm after.

Ya I looked at the 305s also. I went with the extremes but in the 295 size.
