Thats what I plan to do once Pasesetter starts making LT's for 4wd's. LT's ORy 3" pipe, si/so 3" Magnaflow, and turn down in the stock location instead of out the side.

No, the dog chased them off. When the cats moved out, I got a little rasp at about 2200 RPM, but it went away with this motor

But I've owned, every type of muffler on the market!

Although the Borla has a much better sound than the Fagnaflow! Flowmasters are Pricey$$$...and not a great sound unless you get a Super 40 Series. I just plain out don't like the Edelbrock muffler...it is not loud enough. Gibson mufflers are just too high in price...and who wants a pretty polished muffler....for God's sake..it's under your truck.
In my opinion...a good value on a muffler, that sounds good, loud and has a great performance boost is a Ravin' muffler. Cost about $60 to $80. Dynomax Bullet mufflers are great also. But the hands down winner with the best sound and price and performance...is......Hooker Aero Chamber!
Thanx...and goodbye

Yeah but you cant call a muffler a piece of **** becuase you dont like the way it sounds. Call it piece of **** if it is put together shitty or if it doesnt flow worth a crap.

With Magnaflow you can have:
- Silent with performance (like mine)
- Quiet with performance
- Growly with performance
- Healthy with performance
- Loud with performance
- Really loud with performance
- Stupid loud with performance
- Obnoxiously loud (setting-off-car-alarm-loud) with performance
No need to give up sound for performance.

As far as pricing goes ... look @ any outlet ... FULLY POLISHED PARTS start at 75.95 and satin finished at 59.95. I spent a whoping thrity seconds to find over 85 parts to match MagnaFlow mufflers between $50-100 on summitracing.com. These are stainless steel mufflers ... comparative muffler from such manufacturers are almost 20-25% higher in price. No one can help it if your muffler shop wants to charge you an assh*le tax and sell it to you for mor than market value.

Back to the subject on hand ..... I like the Hookers a LOT. I got a pair of them on a dual 2 1/2 setup with no cats and I love the sound of it. I wouldn't trade it for any other I've heard.
