incase my screen name is confusing, I don't drive a Denali. My first name is Dan and I was trying to make my HD into a Denali.

What size was that? I have two 5x11x22 single 3" in/out with 2.5" balance pipe. It's a bit raspy and definately different, but I don't think it sounds like a boat. How did yours sound compared to this?

fluxu8, where did you find a magnaflow cat back for $390? The prices i'm finding are much higher than that plus shipping.

I have a custom 3" stainless done with the Tru X and dual 4x9s. Sound very nice.

Since the truck has been lowered there is no way Im getting my fat *** under there. When I take the truck back to the tire place that had the cross eyed mongoloid kid do my alignment I'll get a measurement. No, I wish it sounded like yours. At idle it sounds great. Under any throttle it sounds like a cross between a motor boat and lawnmower. Its very depressing, luckily the extra whine from the smaller pulley drowns it out a bit. I think I may swap to a smaller muffler and dump it

Cause I thought I heard some people say you dont have to run a muffler with the STSs, is that true?
Sometimes I do sometimes I don't

My Magnaflow doesn't seem to rob much HP according to the SOTP meter. But sometrimes I like it to be loud and hear all the turbo whistle so I run without a muffler. Especialy when racing. Normal street driving I usually just keep the magnaflow on. I tried running a tiny 1chamber Flow but it droned like mad and I felt a loss of power. $170 down the drain...

Some people with the smaller turbos can run without a muffler but I can't. No cats, big cam, and big turbo = loud! LOL
