The Magnaflow comes in 3 different lengths 14", 18" and I think 22". Do you know which one you have? Of course, the 14" will be the loudest. I have the 18" x 3" in/out on mine. Nice and mellow until I hit the gas hard.

Get a true dual exhaust. Unless of course if you live in cali then your options are more limited.

I don't know about regulations where you live, but I haven't found many mufflers that got me the sound I wanted. I run my truck with a 302, with a single straight pipe, no cat or muffler.

I've got factory manifolds, 2" factory Y-pipe going into a single 2.5" Flowmaster 40 Series. Muffler is directly under the cab with no tailpipe, and it is PLENTY loud. I can still get the sound level down pretty low if I cruise and stay off the gas, but any time that pedal is touched, the back of the cab starts vibrating loudly from the sound.

I'll see if I can get a video posted soon, I've been needing to anyway...lol
