New Magnaflow came today

[John]

Watched their video and it shows 3" to muffler then 2 1/2" the rest of the way back. All good, sounds great but does have more hwy. drone noise then I expected, but is ok.

Can't imagine there is a market for the removed (used) exhaust, would have been a LOT easier job had I just cut the left side tubing in half!!!

Also put the Pulsar in as well, performance mode is awesome! Will see how economy mode performs and report back!

Another happy Magnaflow customer. As others have said worse part of the install was getting the old out, you'll need to cut once on the old exhaust to help get it out. Didn't even think about adjusting the air ride to OR2 to help with the install. Sounds great not to loud but definitely there. Just back from a 1,000 mile road trip, no drone on the highway, all good.

Well I'm on my second day with my Magnaflow exhaust on my 19 Rebel. WOW !! My review follows... yes subjective.

Startup and outside noticable… not loud ...nice rumble

Hear the exhaust on acceleration. slow and hwy.

cruising barely noticeable. . radio on 6 easily mufflers the low sound

Stomp on it … OH YEA...

Feels spunkier and MPG went up 2.1 MPG

I was just rereading these posts. I have had a cat back Magnaflow on backorder since Nov 26 for my Rebel. You mentioned you thought truck was spunkier and got better mileage. Now that you've had it on for a while, do you still see more power and better economy? My Rebel only has 1700 miles but only gets like 12-13 mpg but it is a great truck. Cab sound still acceptable when highway cruising? Drone? Has exhaust sound gotten louder or different as it broke in? Thanks!

Happy as a clam in the sand. Cruising if radio is at 6 you barely notice, No drone, regular or eco. Don't hear nada change when going into eco, even with the radio is off. Outside you know it is not stock, even at idle. Nice system. Gas mileage went down now cause I like how it sounds when accelerating !

Good to see that someone is happy with what they’ve done exhaust wise.

Ordered a magnaflow, was won over.
I was dead set on a borla touring but I opened my options briefly and that was that!

Odd question, how long is that magnaflow muffler?
The 18in?

22”

22”

Very, very interesting

So here's why I ask - the general rule of thumb for mufflers as I understand it?
The larger the muffler, the quieter it is.
Now not all of them use the same technology so it's not exact.
BUT, for Magnaflow, Their 14in is louder than their 18in, is louder than their 24in.
At 22in, that's pretty mellow.

I'm now very excited to see how this is going to sound!

Got mine installed last Friday. The Magnaflow cat back has nice thunderstorm rumble with no raspy bark when revving engine, just rich V8 sound. Inside you can hear subdued rumble on mild acceleration and when you level off need for power and reach easy cruising it gets almost silent at most speeds. The radio at level 6 will mask most exhaust sound during easy driving. Now if you tromp accelerator, you will hear engine come alive and will bring back memories of hot rod days at high school. Your driving style will determine noise level.

Thanks! I just got the 20% coupon emailed but I need to know if it will fit a crew cab with the 6’4 bed. Do you know if it will fit?

I would call them (Hottexhaust or Magnaflow) during business hours as that may be an issue as the majority of trucks are crew cab with 5'7". I am sure Magnaflow will have a kit eventually if this one is too short.

I have the crew cab 6'4" bed and it fit perfectly!
