Had a Magnaflow installed a few days ago

It really wasn't loud, I dug that part. The cabin drone alone is what turned me off.

So you're saying your AWE had drone?

I had the 18" Magnaflow installed on my 2021 Ram. After driving around for about 500 miles or so I also had the resonators before the tailpipes deleted. I don't notice any drone at driving in the city or cursing at highway speeds. And when you press down on that skinny pedal on the right...it sounds awesome!... and the wife likes it too...

This is the second vehicle I had a Magnaflow muffler installed on. My first was a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L V8. No drone on that vehicle either.

It seems deleting the resonators kills alot of the drone for most people

Anyone add the Mopar cat back? Warranty is unaffected by adding it. If you did install it do you suffer from a drone?

 

[TyH2009]

Does anyone have the Magnaflow 19433? Curious if that has drone.

My concern with the Magnaflow was the fiberglass fill. They say the quietest your Magnaflow will ever be is when you turn your truck on after install. The fiberglass fill apparently breaks down over time, making it louder each day that goes by (or so many have said). I'm looking at the Flowmaster 50 series Delta flow chambered muffler. I'm hoping for something that is a step up from stock, but no cabin drone and doesn't wake the neighborhood... but still has a deep, yet subtle growl. Living in Mississippi, I'm about sick of the sound of the super-aggressive exhausts that some of these good ole' boys have around here. This grumpy soon-to-turn 60-year-old is slowing it down these days.

Borla has my attention too with their Touring series. Glad to see these posts though, since I still don't know what to go with.

This sounds about right.

I had a Borla XR1 on a stock setup on my old Gen1 Rebel, when I got the new Ram I put on a Magnaflow.
(Note: It's the magnaflow full system with their 22in muffler)
I liked a bunch of things about the magnaflow, but I did miss the Borla on some days.

As time has gone on, I'm actually kind of enjoying the magnaflow more.
NOW it's perfect. In the summertime I'm looking forward to dropping the windows, this will be the 3rd summer I've had it, and I think it will sound the best. The system can be tame and rumbly when you're idling along - get on it, and the sound shows up.

If I go to a Borla, it will be for a sound-profile-preference, for the time being the magnaflow's got a higher enjoyment rating from me today, than it did on install!

What Magnaflow are you guys having drone with? I have the 11229 and don’t have drone. MDS results in a little burble but not drone. Nice roar on start up, silent when cruising and mean when you get on it.

11226

I probably should have given it a little more time, but when the guy said they'd have to cut the end cap to fix it, that's when I just made the quick decision to go back to the stock muffler instead of them hacking on the end cap.

11226

I wonder if that 11226 muffler being 2.5” in/out instead of 3” like the stock exhaust somehow contributed to more drone? 11229 is 3” in/out

I'm not to verse on this muffler stuff. Could be a possibility.

I think I’ve decided on this one. Was between this and the Carven, but I definitely don’t want any drone. Have seen a couple posts where the Carven might produce some drone.

You don't be disappointed. I love my mbrp and want to delete the resonators now.

I have an AWE and it sounds great with no drone

Same here. Incredible sound and absolutely no drone.

Heck, even stock can drone! Never even knew that term until buying a hemi. Yet 99% music+++

That sounds pretty good, but maybe a little high pitched? I do like the raspy tone. I have a Borla S type and it's pretty deep sounding with only occasional rasp. No drone at all, even in eco/4 cyl mode it almost can't be heard in the cabin during normal driving. When accelerating it'll get loud though.

I just bought an MBRP muffler yesterday, can’t wait to install it. I hear good things….. pun intended.

I can't say enough how much I love my MBRP. It sounds beyond great.

Do you have any sound clips?

Did you have to plug the weep holes? From what hear, people say with aftermarket mid mufflers it masks the sound kind of fluttery out of the tailpipes due to those holes.

I don't even know what weep holes are, so no lol.

Aftermarket catch back kit don't come with resonator so no weep holes to plug.
