I know there is plenty of posts about maganflow but I cant seem to find who has what magnaflow muffler. Or whats the difference in the 14, 18, 22inch. Does one size cause less drone? Is on size louder? And are people going with inlet/outlet size. I was going to go with 3in but for no particular reason. Thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated/

And please dont talk me into flowmasters or corso. I really like the magnaflow sound.

14 is the loudest, 22 the most quiet. I have an 18" x 3" on my '85 Ford F250 460 C.I. I get some drone in a very narrow rpm range but fairly quiet and a nice sound otherwise, not at all intrusive or annoying.

I just installed the 22 inch magnaflow muffler 12589 Single in Single out w/offset. I removed the resonator and flapper and the truck sounds great. Low rumble at idle but slight growl on hard throttle. Sound the way a truck should. For me the 18 was too loud but the 22 is perfect.

 

I will gets some video clips posted in the next few days.

5.3 or 6.2?

Im afraid the 22 might not be loud enough on my 6.2 but the 18 might be too much...

I dont want drone, but dont want this pansy sound it has.. I started it at the dealer the other day and you couldnt even hear it.. sad

I initially left the resonator on after having the Magnaflow 22 inch installed. It had a nice subtle rumble but was still somewhat tamed unless I was really on the throttle. After about 100 miles I had the resonator removed and that really woke up the exhaust note. With the 22 inch muffler and resonator removed it sounds the same as the audio clips of the Magnaflow catback exhaust system on their site with single side rear exit. The catback system uses the same 22 inch muffler. I have the 5.3 and you don't really hear it in the cab unless you are under heavy throttle. Very quiet cruising down the highway. No drone.

Do we even need to ask....? Pics, videos, sound clips... Give us something dammit! I have zero imagination.

I have a 6.2, problem you run into is Magnaflow only makes the 3.5" in/out with a center/offset muffler in the 22" model. Unless you have the shop reduce your exhaust down to 3" you wont have much choice but to run the 22" model.

 

Mine is setup with 22" model, no flapper valve, no resonator, sounds great. Nice rumble at idle and under throttle. Slightly louder during V4 mode but not bad at all. No drone at all.

What's the diameter of the exhaust on a 5.3? I searched a little and didn't see it answered.

I'm wondering the same. I'm going to order a spin tech muffler 3" inlet and 3" outlet

Yeah guess I'll grab a 11229 Magnaflow and get it welded in. Not sure how I want it to exit though. Dump it, side exit, or normal and get the resonator cut out..

I have the resonator cut off and dumped after the factory muffler and it sounds like i have exhaust, cost me $20 bucks. the stock exhaust without the small resonator behind the rear sounds pretty good and a TINY bit of drone but nothing that will drive any normal person crazy.

 

IF anyone choses to do this, make sure you cut and dump the exhaust before the valve. REMOVE the valve, if you don't your truck will sound like an airplane lol

I just want to make sure I'm not ordering a 3" inlet and going to have to adapt from 3.5" to 3" on this muffler when i can order a 3.5" inlet and 3" outlet.

I'm guessing you're speaking from experience with the airplane bit lol.

yea i rode around around sounding like a jet boat out of water for a day until I came across the thread where someone clamped their valve open and it fixed the sound until I can get back to the shop and cut valve off.

      I thought I was building a HD 3500 srw, maybe I was lost.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      It is working as designed.  NHT and non NHT trucks have the same exact transmission cooling setup.  NHT just gets a larger radiator.     The transmission cooler loop on these is as follows.     -Transmission out goes into an oil to water heat exchanger (item #1 in the first illustration below).  This exchanger has engine coolant opposite the transmission fluid and uses engine coolant to warm and then regulate the transmission fluid temperature when its in the operating window.   - From the cooler it goes to a thermal bypass valve (item #11 in the 2nd illustration below).  If the ATF has not reached the temp to open the bypass (194F), it loops back.   - When it reaches 194F, the thermostat opens and ATF then flows out to the oil to air auxiliary cooler (item #17 in the 2nd illustration) at the front of the truck.  From there it goes back to the transmission.     Your only fix would be to swap for the PPE thermal bypass delete block which will open the loop to the aux cooler all the time.  It will STILL run warm, probably 170-200F, but that's as low as you'll get it as its still flowing through the oil to water exchanger.

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.
