My Magnaflow goes on tommorow!!!

[AuburnTiger]

Im putting a Magnaflow #12259 with stock pipes and a 4" Magnaflow rolled tip on my 5.3L tommorow. I will try to post a sound clip of it this week because I havent been able to find a sound clip of that muffler on a 5.3L Later!

Here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i92Azi7gyhM

It sound better than I could have imagined. I was looking for a deep sound, with NO drone (yes folks, there is ZERO drone in the cab when cruising) but when I get on it it is loud and deep. This is the exact sound I was going for an I acheived it. At idle you can hear it but it's not loud in the cab.

I went with the Magnaflow #12259 18" muffler with a 4x12" Magnaflow rolled tip and the stock pipes.

This is my first mod to the truck, but I have only had it for 2 weeks today. A tune is next! Thanks guys!

It will take the video a few minutes to show up on Youtube.com

did you feel any performance improvements?
so you just took your stock muffler off and put the magnaflow in it's place? where did you bought it at? sorry for too many ?'s I just but my truck a month ago and money is tight and I want to do the work myself save some money.

I felt a SOP difference in the high end.

Yes, I just replaced the stock muffler.

I bought the Muffler for 75$ shipped and the tip for 30$ shiped off ebay, brand new.

Thanks for the compliments!

That is the tip I used.

did the 3" mate right up with your factory exhaust pipe?

[AuburnTiger]

Well the stock pipe is 2.75". But the guys at the muffler shop didnt say anything about it not working, and the welds and fitment look great, so Im going to say yes they mated quite nicely

Congrats - I'm still on the fence with my exhaust decision, but your Magnaflow has my attention.

What eBay vendor did you use for your purchases? Got a ballpark on your installation price?

Thanks for your help and good luck with the new sound

The ebay store I used is http://stores.ebay.com/Performance-Peddler

Probably the best Ebay experience I have had is with that seller. Great prices and super fast shipping.

Installation was 70$ for 45 minutes of shop time.

Here in Alabama everyone has a Chevy with Flows or straights. Every truck sounds exactly the same. I wanted a different sound and it's the best exhaust I have heard on a 5.3L. It sounds 10x better in real life than it does on the clip. The clip was made on a digital camera, so the sound if very distorted and kinda raspy and the real sound does not contain any raspiness. Just a deep growl.

Excellent! because of this post, I went out and got one. Well, the muffler shop got it for me. I had them weld on the new Magnaflow and weld a dump right after the muffler. So you can't even see my exhaust. It's a nice clean look that goes with my new roll pan. And I love the sound. Just like you said, sounds stock at idle, but when you get on it, it wakes up. I didn't really feel a performance difference, but I really wasn't expecting one either. I mainly wanted the sound and clean look.

I love my Magnaflow too I have the DI/Do Tru X core style there is no drone too and it is hella deep and smooth. Magnaflow is a great brand indeed!

The reason theres no drone is because its not a loud muffler, or even cloose to it ... sounds decent though.

I will have to disagree with you. Loud is certainly relative. No it is not as loud as Flows, but I can light em up in the student parking lot here at Auburn and set off car alarms as I drive by. Pretty loud when you get on the skinny!

Sounds great to me, and from the way you described it that's exactly what i'm looking for.....ebay here I come!

A little late but had mine installed today I have the same setup as Auburn but with 3inch tail pipe.It's still quiet at cruise speed but when you hit it it screams.When you take off from a stop its a little loud but livable after the tranny shifts to od its totally quiet.Im glad I made the choice Thanks Auburn for the sound clip yours inspired me to make my choice!!
