18'' Magnaflow Installed today!!!

[OrionR5]

So I was on the fence about which muffler to go with. I had a Magnaflow 18'' installed this morning. I left the resonators in place. It sounds so awesome.
Start up is great , low rpm is deep and throaty. When you step on it, it really growls. I have to say I am very pleased with outcome. MDS kick in is not all that terrible either. Just a little press of the accelerator makes it all better.
In cab drone is very acceptable. Guys I really recommend this muffler. It sounds amazing. True the video sound clips does not do it justice.
I was very concerned with how it was going to sound in the cab. No problem there. Hope this will help someone else on the fence about a muffler upgrade.
The stock muffler is humongous. Who would have guessed.

I'll second that! I got the DOD18M kit from mufflex and installed it today also. It sounds great! Couldn't be happier with it.

How would you rate the sound on this scale?
Redneck <54321012345> Sporty

 

[shthpns22]

Definitely closer to the sporty side, not obnoxiously loud but louder than stock. Nice deep tone with out any popping or raspyness.

Sweet, thanks! I'm definitely on the fence. Watching a video just doesn't give me enough real world perspective The redneck sound is great for rompin through the woods or the mud, but not my cup of tea for something I would drive daily. Had obnoxious pipes on my last ride and it was cool for a minute, but I quickly became annoyed by it.

Yeah, for me it was between the 14" and the 18" magnaflow. I was worried the 18" would be too quiet but it turned out to be just right. I wanted something that didn't **** off the neighbors at 430 in the morning when I left for work, but also something that was louder than stock too.

To the original poster, if you have an 8 speed and want to turn off the mds just use the manual downshift button then go back to 8 and it will have all 8 speeds available without mds.

Thanks man. Been using the ERS for a bit and do like it. Its especially great when needing to stop in a hurry.

Definitely agree. It just sounds sexy. I too had to make a decision between a Flowmaster Super 44 and the Magnaflow. Was actually going to go with the 24'' Magnaflow but changed to the 18''. I think I made the right decision and I'm happy with my choice. It definitely does not sound stock. Been getting lots of heads turning while cruising the neighborhood today.

Squidbilly I would rate it an 8. Good luck with your choice!!!

I miss my 18" maggy... It was a great sound and setup.

Congrats on making the right pick for what you wanted. I have an 18" magnaflow welded in and almost got the 14" but I think the 18" is just enough for me. Plus it sounds great with my 5" tips.

I feel the same about my boesch built 18" magnaflow kit installed a couple weeks ago.

The 5'' tips must make a bit louder. I stuck with the stock pipes for now.
Do you hear much of a difference and if yes in what way.
My exhaust sounds great and next up is speaker upgrades.

The difference maybe a little louder and just a bit of deeper tone, but they do look sweet.

I installed a Mufflex Magnaflow 14M on my 15 1500 4x4 Sport and it's the nicest sound out there. My 03 Hemi 1500 had Flowmaster but I like the Magnaflow better...IMHO

I agree, I had a Flowmaster cat back on my '12 Durango R/T and the Magnaflow 14" on my Ram and would recommend the Magnaflow as far as sound/tone and the drone put out by each one.

 

[noupf]

are these a magnaflow's a direct bolt on or does some welding/fabrication need to be done?

 

[CMil527]

Direct bolt on kits available thru Boeschbuilt or Mufflex

 

[Birddog]

you should post a YouTube video of the sound clip. I want to hear it.
