down pipe questions

I am looking at down pipes. I already have magnaflow from the muffler back. I have 2 questions.
1. Is there any difference in the mbrp and the magnaflow?
2. Which one would be a better choice?

Nope, no difference.

Either one....depending on availability and price.

Can you post a link of the magnaflow down pipe? I am pretty sure my truck has exhaust on it, cause the pipes look like 4 inch and it has an aftermarket tip but i am kinda doubting it now lately. I want to put a magnaflow muffler on my truck sometime.

after looking at the pics it looks like the magnaflow is 3.5" from the turbo until it gets under the cab. the pic of the mbrp looks like all 1 size.

1 more question..... does the down pipe come long enough to reach my muffler or do i have to get some more pipe?

You'd know, it looks like a 4 gallon trash can under the trucks. Check E-Bay, I wished I could help but I went with a turbo 4 inch back dual system, MBRP to be exact. Shoot Clay a PM, he might be able to pull some strings for yaa..

Does the Magnaflow make a better sound?
