I've bought several Magnaflow setups on eBay for decent prices. My trucks #16614 cost me almost $500 when I bought it.

Then I discovered the "Make an Offer" option for eBay sellers. About $350 seems to be a standard price they'll take. Give it a try. The worst they can do is say NO.

Ok guys just got home and the truck sounds great. I would compair it to a old burnt out flowmaster system. It's got rumble down low and no poping when you let out of it. Its almost too quiet for straight pipes. I will try to get a video tomorrow. Thanks for all the info, and help.

"H" is a good choice. the "X" can get downright raspy sounding...the "H" keeps it throaty...wierd description


sound clips yet?

The bend over the axle is what kills the sound. Loudest option is high flow converters to an H pipe and run it out in front of the rear tires. When I first cut the exhaust off my truck it sounded mean as hell! I was almost a little sad when the magnaflow went on...
