I like the look of dual exhaust, trying to find something mellow for the muffler...tried two different Magnaflow type mufflers (Jones MF2288 and MF2588) that I thought would fit the bill and both are significantly louder than I was expecting (in fact despite the 2588 being HUGE compared to the 2288 there is very little difference in sound volume).

I'm wondering if maybe a larger chambered muffler might be a better option for this but it looks like the only good option I have there is the Super 50 (in 409 stainless). I'm just wondering how exterior sound volume is with that muffler.

 

 

I'm really struggling with it right now because I thought the muffler on the truck now would be a surefire ticket to the note I wanted and it is not. These 5.0's seem very loud even with factory cats. I'm hesitant to spend $150 on the Flowmaster and have it not be what I want also. Just not sure what to do. I'm sure it would at least sound good, but not sure about the volume.

 

if you want quieter tone, you need to add a resonator. I would guess the flowmaster will be just as loud, if not louder.

 

I have a resonator on order already. I know that will help with drone but I can't imagine it will have much of an effect on volume.

 

Well I decided to go ahead and order the muffler so I could take advantage of the $15 ebay motors coupon. So I guess we'll see how it is, I'll try it alone first and then with the resonator.

 

I been thinking about this same thing. Add a video or something when your done.

 

I will see what I can do. Might be a little while until I get to putting it on.

 

If you're wanting milder, I'd look at a 70 series Flowmaster.

 

I looked at the 70 but they don't make a SI/DO in stainless, and I have no interest in putting an aluminized muffler on this truck.
