Default After much Cat Back debating I'm finally ready

My choice - Magnaflow Cat-back Dual exit - Passenger Side

My Question:

>>> Before Rear Tire??
>>> After Rear Tire??

I'm sure the sound is different.
What's your opinion??

Hi MoMo, you are right! There are some sound differences between those 2 exhausts. The 19053 (after rear tire) gives your truck a much deeper tone, while raising the volume slightly from the stock level. This system works great for owners who drive their truck daily, or prefer exhaust more on the conservative side.

The 19054 (before rear tire) system deletes the factory resonator, which gives it a more raw tone, and a bit more volume than the previous exhaust. If you prefer exhaust more on the aggressive side, this would be the way to go! you have any other questions about the differences, please let us know.

Personally, I like after rear tire exits. I've been in a 4.2 with a side pipe and it got annoying fast since it's closer to the passenger door.

I have a 5.4 2008 with the factory exhaust removed. I installed a 2 1/2 45° bend where the factory exhaust bolted up. Used the factory clamp and it sounds good. I need to go to an exhaust shop and make it so that it exits before the rear tire. Best part, only cost me $6
