I searched and couldn’t find any info so I’m sorry if it’s been covered before. Magnaflow p/n 19476 for 19+ trucks fit our trucks.

Nice set up. Not sure how they justify $180 for a 2 foot pipe and some $10 clamps though.

Wow! That's a big price for convenience. Muffler shop charged me $50 to do mine lol

Right. I think if these were priced closer to $80-100, they would be flying off the shelf.

I wanted mandrel bends and ss piping. I called around and was unable to find a shop in my area with a mandrel bender. The smooth bends are much more pleasing to look without a rusty bead of mild steel welds. Very few people, other than me, will ever take a look underneath my truck but I’m particular about my vehicles. $180 is more than I would have liked to pay for pipe and clamps. I’ll write it off as business expense.

I hear ya man. This is coming from a guy that’s got $400 worth of Borla mufflers in place of the stock muffler.

F*****g love it. Quality ss clamps/cans>steel filler/painted mild steel muffs. Everything else equal, I’d gladly pay $400 more for a used truck with borla set up like yours over your run of the mill flowmaster meineke/midas special

Why the two mufflers? I have just the Borla ATAK muffler after my catalytic converter.

I’m running Texas Speed longtubes and this is my daily driver. This is about the 6 or 7th iteration to find the sound I was after. I really like the way the Atak sounds but needed something to tame the rasp down and take the edge of cold starts. The oval XR1 really helps with that but is still a straight thru design so it doesn’t take away the tone. This set up is very mild when I stay out of it but really opens up above 3000 rpm.

That makes sense, do you have a video clip of your exhaust? I'd like to hear your setup.

This is all I’ve got with the latest set up. All the in cab clips are with the windows down. It’s pretty quiet with windows up just normal cruising.

You can really hear the difference with having headers when you get up in the RPMs. Here is a cold start video of mine. Stock manifolds, cats then Borla ATAK system.

Yeah the headers make a big difference. Yours sounds really good. Do you still have all 3 cats? Did you happen to look inside the muffler before the install? They have pretty interesting design to get that sound.

I do have the 3 stock cats. Do you have them on your setup or did you do something different?

I’ve got the TSP y-pipe with high flow cats
