Magnaflow catback - Where is the best price?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have an extended cab/short box '04 5.3L truck and I want the new side exit Magnaflow exhaust.

 

I can barely find them on the internet and when I do, they $400+.

 

Any idea on where to get the best deal?

Most of the local muffler shops (at least around here) will install them w/custom bent pipe (or pipes) for $150 out the door.

I got mine from www.tbyrnemotorsports.com... Exhaust are 10% off right now from them too so you could get one to your door for less than 400.. They have great customer service as well..

Ive heard that the cheapest price was from full line exhaust www.fle-online.com I ordered mine from Tbyrne and it took 2.5 weeks to get here, the other place supposedly stocks it and has a lower price.

I got mine from fle-online and they shipped immediately and offered a better price than Tbyrne. Great customer service and I'm loving the Magnaflow side exit cat-back so far. :thumbs:

And here comes the dreaded question. Resonance, is there any resonance? How does the interior resonance and interior noise compare to the OEM for both the side exit and dual rear exit?

 

Also, for the dual rear exit.., are you able to keep your spare tire mounted?

on a different forum we came across performancepeddler. go to ebay and look up his store, all of his info is there. his price shipped for an 04,stainless, short bed, 5.3, dual out the back, was 385.00. the rep we all used was brad (248-399-7600).pm me if you are interested and i can tell you the web site to use as a reference to get an additional $10.00 off.

There is zero resonance, but a bit of drone around 2,000rpm. It's not obnoxious, but it's there. Of course, my stock exhaust had a bit of drone around that rpm as well, so I'm not surprised, just engine harmonics, I guess.

 

Now, my Magnaflow side exit catback is NOT quiet. I was expecting it to be a bit quieter, but it definitely rumbles. It's not overly loud, but it's not a quiet aftermarket exhaust.

 

I love it. :lol:

Try Performance Peddler on Ebay. See link below. Just because he does not have it in stock, does not mean that he cannot get it. I have heard nothing but things out of him though I have not purchased anything from him.

 

Performance Peddler

 

He will get the item that you need drop shipped straight from Magnaflow.

    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
