Coming from a 14" Magnaflow this is a totally different beast, I would not say it is quieter or louder, I would say it is a much lower tone than the Magnaflow or my buddies Flowmaster 40.

If you like a very low tone you may want to consider this, buyer beware, when you stand on it it is a total monster, It will instantly turn you into the ******** neighbor. However if you are not to aggressive you can get out of the neighbor hood with out ******* everyone off. As for drone In will report back, have not been out on the highway with it yet that is the entire reason I am checking this out, the Maggy had a little bit of a drone around 70 mph

form some reason I can not get the audio file to paste into this post ?

Here is one on utube


All in all I am really digging this tone this puts out when you stand on it is crazy.
FYI, this is all weld on stuff

It does sound nice, good low tone.

Looks and sounds good!!
What size are those tips ?
Did you originally have a single exit behind the passenger side rear tire?
Did you use a y pipe to go to dual out? Resonators still on?
Sorry for all the questions I’m just looking to have something very similar done. I currently have the exact muffler sitting in my garage with a black 14” long 4” diameter Borla tip.
Was thinking of doing the same, changing to dumping out both side behind the rear wheels.
Just don’t know if it will change the sound any since this muffler is single in and single out. Wondering if there is any change and sound by adding a y pipe at the end of the muffler to accommodate this.

Yes My truck is an Outdoorsman that came with single pipe, got the Borla XR1 that is 3" in and 3" out with a wye pipe that is 1-3" in and 2- 2 1/2" out

After the wye pipe the welder just bent up some 2 1/2" stainless to locate them coming out from behind the rear tires
I kinda of like that it is different. Not to mention my bumper does not have the cut outs so bring them out the back they would need to be below the bumbper.
Also when loading stuff up you don't get gased out if the truck is running ......... lol

The tips are Gibson dual wall 2 1/2" x 4" , had single wall tips with a rolled edge, but they did not stand the test of time

Thanks. Looks and sounds great. I actually like this look better than coming straight out the back
