I have a 2011 1500, 5.7. Looking for an aftermarket muffler. What's the inlet/outlet diameter? And what's your opinions on muffler? Leaning towards magnaflow

magnaflow is awesome... are you looking for just a little more rumble or something sort of loud?

I love my 18" magnaflow. just the right amount of loud and the drone in the cab isn't bad at all.

Only a little bit more than I did with the stock muffler. It's not bad at all. I always either am listening to music or talking to passengers and it's never interfered with either one. I love it because it just kinda reminds you it's there in a good way. Sounds really good from the inside. I also just got the vararam installed today and now it's alot quieter somehow.

Yea I believe it, because (what I should have said I guess in my post above) is that I USED to have drone in the cab until I started running the VR this morning. Not sure how it made it quieter but as far as I can tell there isn't any drone anymore.

I got a VR 87mm TB Y pipe and 18" magnaflow. I have some drone in the cab but mines pretty new. Not sure how much it will decrease with time. Not horrible but there. Wife didn't even say anything til I asked her.

If you want "just a little more rumble" get the 18" inch. If you want "loud" get the 14".

I have the 18", most of the time I can't even tell it's on there.
It's very streetable, the only times I have any drone is low speed, high load, low RPMs
(Think hitting a hill at 35 MPH with little throttle). Which rarely happens.

Even then, it just sounds funny, not even really 'drone'

You can absolutely hear the 18". It just isn't loud enough to make the neighbors complain.
