I got an OEM one for sale. $20 and you cover shipping. Surface rust no major damage. Can be easily cleaned and repainted. I can do it for an additional $20

Magnaflow makes mufflers in several lengths. The longer, the quieter. Let me guess, yours is a 14"?

MagnaFlow are great mufflers. Absolutely not on the loud scale. However like any performance part you need to be selecting the correct one for the application. Saying “I got a Magnaflow” means nothing. Not unlike saying “I got a truck”. Well, which one do you have?

We think that may be the root of the issue :p. That is a lot of noise and one muffler will not have the dampening ability to quiet it enough to achieve a streetable volume, regardless of the manufacturer. We would recommend throwing some catalytic converters back on the truck, even if they are the small high-flow ones. A quality made cat should have no problem being used on a forced induction application. Good luck!
