Magna flow!?!?

[Syman02]

I had a 14" Magnaflow muffler on my 2016 Rebel. It sounded good, but I wouldn't mind having something a little louder. Anyone have a Magnaflow muffler swap on their truck? Thoughts? Would 14239 be the right part number or is there a better /different one??? Thanks!

I was going to say magnaflow delayed their damn full exhaust kit again.
Only want it cause of the black tips.
May just go the route of just the muffler and then buying OEM black tips.
(Subbing for answer too)

I had a 14” 5x8 oval muffler installed on my Ram last week. I do like the deep rumble sound but it really isn’t too loud at all. I wish it had a little more myself but it’s better than stock. With the larger resonators on these 19’s it is not any louder, maybe even less loud than a friend of mine’s ‘15 Ram with a 18” 5x8 oval magnaflow.

I've always found that the Magnaflows take a little bit to get louder. For the first week or 2 with mine, especially the first day I thought it was barely any louder than stock, now I'd say it's quite a bit louder. They're packed and not a chambered design (which is good) but also most likely why they need to "break in."

Thanks for the info. I personally like the sound of the magnaflow, IMO, has a deeper rumble and less of a ‘tingy’ or ‘tin can’ type of sound the Flowmaster can have.

I was just on the magnflow website and it showed 78 available. I couldn’t t find a dealer with them in stock but maybe they are ready now.

I agree, definitely not a fan of flowmasters. The chambered design hinders flow, I also don't like the tone and I've heard a bunch where the welds break on the baffles inside and then it sounds tinny.

It's definitely a personal preference though, so to each their own.

I ordered my 5x8 14" today. I get it installed Friday. I wonder if it would be worth removing the resonator upstream of the muffler when I swap out the muffler? Anyone removed this resonator during a swap yet? What do you think? How does it change the sound?

How did the install go?
Any drone?

How does it sound? Any MDS drone?

 

[Syman02]

I had a shop do the install but it was quick and easy. No drone at all. I can't hardly hear it unless I really get on it. I wouldn't mind if the exhaust was a little louder.

No drone, sounds good. I

I felt the same way. It will get louder after a couple weeks or so. Mine sounds very good now.

I currently have a muffler delete and resonator delete. I'm putting a magna flow muffler back in today because it's insanely loud without the muffler or resonators. I'll let everyone know how the new sound is

I've welded in the magnaflow muffler and I would say it is very comparable to the sound of my old flowmaster outlaw muffler on my 18 in regards to loudness. This magnaflow muffler is more of a deeper, throatier sound instead of the raspier sound that the flowmaster had. I think I'm going to stick with this setup for awhile

Do you have the MF part number by chance? Just want to confirm before pulling the trigger...

Pics and video please. Thanks.

This is the one that I put on.

Did you leave the resonators out still?

 

[19 streak]

Did you leave the resonators out still?

Yup. Left the resonators out. I couldn't stand the sound that came out of them. Those weep holes sounded like a major exhaust leak. I couldn't handle it anymore. I'm super happy with how it sounds now
