That's what I had done. I with with a dual-walled 4" tip. Sounds great.

 

 

What's the difference between a single and double walled tip? Thanks for all the help.

Finally had the tips moved to rear quarter flush and with a slight stagger.   Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

This will explain a bit. http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts-mufflers/what-are-the-different-types-of-exhaust-tips

 

In addition to this, I will add that if the outside diameter of both tips are the same ex:3" inlet with a 4" outside diameter, then the single wall will change the exhaust note slightly as you have added a small echo chamber that is slightly larger ID than the tailpipe previous The double wall will typically maintain a similar ID as the OD the tailpipe, and will merely extend the tailpipe and add an appearance factor to the vehicle without changing the exhaust note in any noticeable fashion.

 

I typically install my exhaust, then listen to it and decide if I want the same exhaust note or if I want to change it. If I like it the way it is, then I use a double wall that maintains the tailpipe diameter throughout it's length. (I do prefer the look as well).

 

If I want to change the exhaust note then I will use another tip, typically a single wall. I will use different diameters and lengths to accomplish the tone that I am searching for.

 

There are double wall tips that have a larger ID than the OD of the tailpipe, however that end up have a significantly larger OD than a comparable single wall tip and to me, look out of proportion.

 

The information that I've stated is based on using a slip fit exhaust tip and not a weld on. That can change some of the references to ID and OD depending on manufacturer.

All of these sounds clips of the Magnaflow are great. I'm looking to put one on my truck, but I'm unsure which I should get. I'm loving the sound of the 14" in the clips, but I don't want to listen to my wife bitch because it is to loud. If I do the 14" with resonator delete but leave the flapper, will I get pretty decent sound. I'm primarily looking for some rumble at start up and when I feel the need for speed. I'd like it to be pretty quiet at cruising speeds.

Exactly. This is what it looks like.

Maybe try the 18". If you leave the flapper on, no matter what muffler you go with, it won't be loud at all.

I was afraid of that. I personally like the meaner sound of the 14", but we take my truck on road trips for the extra room for the kids. I know my wife will complain the entire time if I go to loud. 95% of the time it wouldn't matter, but that other 5% has the potential to be a real pain in my a$$.

Guys, I have read so many threads on this and I still don't quite know what I should do. I thought I had it down to an 18" MF out to a 45 behind the wheel.

 

Then I saw the Gibson cat backs which look nice. I might even go with the 1 in 2 out to 45 behing the tires. I am concerned the Gibson may be too loud based on clips I have seen.

 

Which option would you go and why?

I have the Gibson swept side setup. Single in single out, both 3.5". It's a turbo style muffler with only two perforated tubes. It's deep burble at idle but makes decent noise when you get your foot in it. Probably very similar to the magnaflow 18". I wish I had gone slightly louderto be honest.

Thanks for the info. How is the drone?

Zero drone. Just slightly louder than stock when cruising at highway speeds. It'll have a deep growl when you gun it to pass someone.

I've got 2 14" Magnaflow's sitting in the garage that are part of a GTO catback. I guess I need to get off my behind and decide what to do with them. Had a 14" on my Avalanche with a turn down and it was VERY aggressive. Looking for more toned down on the truck.

Corsa Sport arrived today and dropped it off at the Muffler Shop, will be waiting at the door in the morning . Wanted to have system welded but a Corsa Rep said it would cause warranty problems. Feel kinda' guilty having a Custom Exhaust Shop install a kit, I'm thinking it would take a few hours and the price to fabricate same type of system .

I think I will be going with the Gibson when I get around to it. I did a little more research and it seems like the mandrel bends are prefered to a pressure bender that I would get at a muffler shop. It's probably only $200 more that what a muffler shop would charge for a magnaflow and piping.

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.
