Alright, I finally borrowed my g/f's digital camera long enough to make a few short clips of my newly installed Magnaflow Muffler/Duals. The file names should describe what each clip is... The only thing is that they are in .mov format. I couldn't encode them any other way, so you'll probably need the quicktime player to see them. Anyways, let me know what you guys think. I thought this might help those folks that are trying to decide on exhaust stuff...

 

My truck is a 2003 RCSB 4.8L Auto, with a 3.42 Open diff. rear.

Only performance mods at present are a K&N panel and the exhaust.

 

EDIT: I almost forgot, right click and save these movies before you play them, it helps with bandwidth. Thanks!

 

Here's the directory with the movies:

Specs on the Muffler:

Muffler is a Magnaflow Stainless Single 3/2.5 dual out.. Part # 14288

Tips are stainless Magnaflow 18 inch, 15 degree cut. Part # 35138-S

 

PS> Thanks to J-rod for the help with webspace and upload stuff. :loser:

Also, we'll probably do a few clips of his Flowmaster set up before long too, for comparison's sake. (When his Wester's tune gets here, I am gonna go steal his truck anyways, so I'll have plenty of time to video it. lol)

Hmmmm I've always been a flowmaster advocate but my opinion is starting to change because of all you magnaflow people....you don't seem to get that tin can/rice fart sound that I do out of my flows at high RPM and WOT.....o well my flowmasters are almost 2 years old anyway, they should start to rust through soon. I already have rust on the in and out pipes on the muffler, and where they welded the baffles inside the muffler, it's starting to rust on the outside????? Explain that one to me

My 40 series flowmaster on my 89' did the same exact thing. You could see the seam welds for the individual chambers. I ended up lightly sanding it, and painting it with Barbeque Grill paint. Worked like a champ on the outside, who knows on the inside, but it lasted really well.

You are the man...Do a search, and see how many people ask for sound clips.

 

We need more of these.

 

Thanks!...Have a VB!beer4.gif

No problem man. :mad:

 

I was one of the people searching for them a few weeks ago. I figured it'd help out to have a way to at least get an idea of what magnaflow sounded on newer model GM truck, even if it wasn't recorded in the best quality/conditions. I'd found a clip on magnaflow's site of a dodge ram, and a few clips of a dynomax superflow elsewhere, but never the particular one I was looking for.

 

Hopefully they'll be some more in the near future, and hopefully I can come up with a way to record in in .mpeg or .avi to make it easier to watch.

Yeah I like the sound of the flows, but they never seem to last....my friend literly blew the baffles off their welds in his ram......my blazers rusted out, and the one on my HD is beginning too...I really think I am going with magnaflow when it's time to replace it.

Great Sound clips man.... Definatly a plus to anyone looking at the magnaflow mufflers.

 

Has anyone installed the 5x11 Mufflers on a 5.3 truck with duals? Was this too much sound suppression or did you like it? Note. The muffler that was in these sound clips was a 5x8.

 

Magnaflow's site states that the 5x11 are for larger displacment and more sound suppression. However they provide maximum flow.

 

Thanks for the help.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
