If you are looking for a 3.5" straight through and don't mind it being a little louder, I have Magnaflow 14161 Race Muffler on the shelf in my store. I used it for about 10 miles on my truck to see if it changed the tone of the dual out system. Still looks brand new and would ship in its original box with paperwork. Retail is $156. I will take $110 plus tax and shipping. (that's what I have into it)

 

PM me if interested. Not looking to make any money just trying to help out.

Magna flow must have discontinued the total offset 3.5/3.5 muffler. I had one put on my 2015 2500 in March of 2015 and it is a total offset 3.5/3.5. Can't recall part number.

 

Just saw the Flowmaster 50 3.5" comes in the offset/offset option, on realtruck.com

So, in your guys opinion, do you think the super 50 is similar to the magnaflow?

In what respect? Sound? The MagnaFlow has a more mellow, non-raspy sound.

I agree. A great, deep throaty sound reminiscent of great muscle cars back in the day without being obnoxious. The Magnaflow 12909 on my 2500 was the perfect match.

Just read through the thread gentlemen, I am too thinking about replacing the exhaust on my 2016 6.0. How is the drone on the magnaflow 12909 listed above? I had a 2009 mustang a few years ago with a borla axle back kit on it and it was the perfect noise level. Completely silent at 70 mph cruising down the highway, but had a nice rumble going up through the gears around town. That's the sound I'm going for.

No drone. That is something only the 1500 pickup owners with the AFM engines deal with. 2 years of the Magnaflow 12909 and not the hint of drone anywhere. Just throaty mellow sound.

I had the local shop weld in the magna flow 12909 muffler on my 16 2500 6.0 the other week. It has a great sound at a startup, pretty quiet at idle. Good tone when driving around. But what bugs me about it is the low rpm drone while driving around any speed really, from like 1600-2000 rpm. Which is sadly when I'd want it most quiet. But if I get on it, sounds great, like I'd expect. But just a touch too loud for me in residential stop and go type 25mph street situations. And a touch too droney cruising around 60 mph.

 

Now some other guys may like this, and in some scenarios I might too, but not on my daily. My last truck was a denali with the 6.2 and dual corsa sport catback, that I loved!

 

Any thoughts on how to remedy this, or should I start shopping for a new muffler to stick in there?

Well... I am going to do it. Magnaflow 12909 going on later today. My neighbors are going to love this, they already hate me and my son for noise. lol

Based on all the above comments it shouldn't be to bad.

Thats not true, everything not same 15'-16'.. for example the air intake kits are different, and they don't even make a canned tune yet for the 6.0

Show me a different part number for the exhaust system...

That's surprising. I typically run around in the 1800-2200 RPM range on the rural roads in my area and don't notice any kind of drone. I do a LOT of 55-60 mph stuff on those rural two lane, curvy, hilly roads. But then, I will generally keep it in M5 on that stuff to avoid constant shifting on every little mole hill. Maybe that is the difference. Did a recent drive to Omaha and back, hung out at around 65 mph which was roughly 1900 RPM in 6th and didn't get any drone for the 380 mile round trip.

I bought the 12909 on E bay new for $85 and had a shop weld it in for $100. The shop did not have to add any piping, cut and weld only. Looks just like the picture a few threads earlier, slight angle. I gotta say I do like the mellow rumble of the muffler. I haven't drove to much with it as I commute on a Motorcycle in the summer months but so far so good. I will be towing the 5th wheel with it next week so we will see how that goes. I likey......

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
