Tailpipe swap

[EMK]

I'm looking for a new muffler and tail pipe. All I can find for my 08 1500 has the resonator in it. I read that the tail for a 2500 will fit also and it doesnt have a resonator. Is this true?

Also I'm getting of this rust bucket Flowmaster, I like the sound but thats about it. I was looking at the magnaflow glasspack in 21 inch but dont know if that will be too loud. Sound clips on Youtube dont sound too bad but it is a video.

70 views and no response??? No one has used a glasspack before or replaced a tailpipe???

You haven't stated a question, yes many of us prefer Magnaflow over Flowmasters.

I am looking at the Gibson Stainless Steel line of cat back systems, especially the dual side exit.

Magnaflow makes great products. and yes, my flowmaster 40 has also started rusting and my truck has 23k miles on it

I'm really beating around in my head if I want to go back to single, but it will be three inch. And go with a magnaflow glasspack or another muffler they have. Not many clips or reviews I can find on the glasspack. I like the sound of the Flowmaster put the performance is very poor.

I like to hear the exhaust but don't like to see them so maybe run the single 3" pipe dumped or hidden to a certain extent. I use a single muffler 30" long with a 3" in and dual 2-1/2" out and dump them just behind the roll pan. Early on when I still had a bumper I ran dual pipes out the back SRT style. I did get both performance and mileage improvements going from a Flowmaster to Magnaflow. It's all personal choice, go for it.

Will I notice a performance gain or loss going from a FM 40 series 2.25 dual out to a MF single 2.5 in 3 single out?

Isn't your inlet 3"?
I use all 3" from the ORF on back. Actually the headers are 3" collector, 3" cats and 3" ORY into a single 3" pipe to the muffler with dual 2-1/2 out to the roll pan. IMO any straight through muffler will out perform a Flowmaster.

No, everything is 2.5 to the muffler. Then I put 3.0 from there back.

Must be a newer truck thing.
