Hey all, like many others here I felt the stock exhaust left something to be desired. That said, I had the magnaflow 11229 muffler welded in place of my OEM muffler over the holiday weekend and I gotta say, I think it sounds perfect (should've sounded at least like this from the factory).
Definitely more aggressive on cold start and much more rumble at idle. I've noticed a very slight bit of drone (nothing intolerable IMO) but only if you're holding a gear at the upper end of its rev range (on uphills mostly) but none w/MDS active. Other than that it offers a nice quiet ride in the cab during cruise but will open up under WOT. I'll try to upload the cold start video directly w/o having to source from youtube but can confirm what others have said is 100% accurate: sound clips don't do this setup justice; you really have to hear it in person.
