Outstanding sound quality

Outstanding sound quality. For the 2010 6.0ft bed this is not a direct replacement, some plumbing needs to be done. I would recommend a muffler shop to install it - cost me about $100, well worth it.

Pros
  • Outstanding design
Cons
  • Suitable for

Five stars for spare parts

I was hesitant at first but should have followed my intuition long ago. It was the best move I could make for my 2011 Ram 1500. the accelerator pedal leaves a red light or overtakes someone on the freeway. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Best in their niche
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Great muffler for 2010 Titan

Nothing to say here other than I am very happy with my purchase. Revain is less than half retail. Add the cost of on-premises installation and you're still under retail. While I liked the default sound. Understated, so to speak. This Maggie is way better. It's smooth at idle, almost silent if you're really looking for 'negative'. Each acceleration causes a pleasant low rumble. Full throttle really brings light into the darkness. I also wanted to buy a Flowmaster. Hey, those are great silencers…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Upgrade available

Don't get me wrong - it's still there but not as bad as day one

I bought this for my truck (09 Dodge Hemi) and it has the right sound - Hemi opens and sounds means under WOT but in daily driving I can still talk to my kids and wife. It does the job. One thing to note though, despite a lot of research online stating that an 18" muffler doesn't hum, I've concluded that it does hum and that's a problem. However, after a week the drone became quieter, despite my expectation that it would become too loud. Don't get me wrong - it's still there, but not as bad as…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

As always, the right tone!

Don't get me wrong; I love the Flowmaster products and other chamber style silencers. But they seem too loud for cars. I removed the main resonator and 2 main mufflers on my Lexus GS400 and the hum was too bad so I bought this unit and put it in place of the original front/main resonator. It then passes through 2 secondary resonators and exits through a straight tube. The drone is now at low level and sounds cute! Magnaflow stainless steel products can be expensive, but as a technician I have…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Thin

2011 Dodge Ram Big Horn

I installed this on my Dodge Ram and love the sound. The only problem with this truck + Magnaflow was that the MDS worked on the truck. I thought it was forever, but after breaking in for a period of time, the noise almost completely went away. This particular Magnaflow fits right into the dual exhaust Ram 1500. UPDATE: I forgot to update it earlier and it's been a year now. The exhaust has been on my truck for over 10,000 miles now and the sound is amazing. The stacker no longer hums when the…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
