I'll be getting a 2020 BigHorn Hemi next week and I'm looking at mufflers. On my 2015, I have a Magnaflow 12388, its the 24'' one inlet and 2 outlets. I've been looking at videos and seems like the new gen have a 1 inlet and 1 outlet muffler? So in this case, what model Magnaflow should I get? Looking at 24'' or maybe 22". I tow a travel trailer often in the summer time so don't want to go too loud.


 
If you look at the install instructions for Magnaflows d-fit, it looks like the stocker is a 3/3 offset/offset, which looks like number 14261 in the 24 body.

The DT muffler is located closer to the middle-rear of the truck, the outlet is connected to piping that goes about a foot or so before it breaks out into a Y-Pipe which then leads to two large resonators and exhaust tips. So it's a single in and out in 3" size. As for length, it shouldn't really matter in terms of fitment, though I assume the longer muffler will help with reduced sound, though the muffler design is most important for that.

Either way, I highly recommend you call your local muffler shop and ask for a recommendation regarding the sound you are after. Everyone here has different opinions on what's loud or quiet or drone, but a muffler shop usually knows exactly the right muffler you need.
