Magnaflow XL or MBRP Aluminized??

[maxdout]

Which one guys? I'm not interested in bling. Don't even want a polished tip. Just looking to let my truck breathe a little easier. Cost is somewhat of an issue, mostly because I don't want or need a shiny system for my truck, so I see no need in paying the price.

Primary concerns: 1) Sound. I don't want a nasty drone, especially on the highway. Not much concerned with the sound outside, just want it fairly tame in the cab. 2) Performance. I want something that flows as well as possible. I know that it's a trade-off for sound.

Thanks for any advice you guys can offer. I have to tell you that I'm leaning toward Magnaflow simply due to the fact that it's available locally. The MBRP is a couple hours away. I want something I can hear before I buy and hopefully take a test ride as well.

maxdout,

Basically the same except the MBRP or AFE we carry will cost you less! Call us if you have any questions etc.

You can hear soundclips on the MagnaFlow web site...

You probably won't find mine locally, but I do have a relatively quiet system with less joints than most and stainless band clamps on the pipe joints.

Thanks for the response guys. I know all 3 of you have a lot of knowledge to offer. I like the JK system and it's probably the best built, but it's a little more expensive than what I'm looking to spend. I've heard good things on the other systems, just not sure what the sound is like. The sound clips are great, but the ones that I've found don't give you a feel for the interior noise level.

John and Mark, I'll probably be in contact with the two of you in the next few weeks.

One question, and I know this has been beat to death, but, it's there any noticable gain in fuel mileage with the combo of exhaust and intake system? I don't drive like a maniac anymore, finally grew out of it. Or, maybe fuel just got too expensive. I've been running 285 Revo's, got about 50k on them now and it's time for a new set. Going back to 265/75/E tires for the new set. Looking for a mile or 2 per gallon maybe. Not expecting miracles.

Another quick one. I know this is getting long. I'm using a UNIFilter in the stock box that I bought from JK a coupe years ago. Is there a really significant difference in this and using the AFR stage II?

Thanks again guys,

I realize that this is probably a lot more more than you want to spend, but this may be your best option for your quiet cab with maximum performance requirements.

There's a lot of info out there (also from people here who bought it) all saying the same thing, quiet but with similar performance to other HP exhaust systems. It seems to be the only 4" straight through that's as quiet as stock. It's cat back (if you have a cat), but they also sell a down pipe separately.

I think most people prefer the aggessive sound of other systems, but, if you want a quiet system, Corsa's patented sound cancelling (whatever they do) is getting some very favorable reviews.

weldinfool,

The main difference is that it looks great and you can smoke out folks at lights from both sides!! There is a slight, and I mean slight, EGT difference but it's really a looks item. Plus you get to hear it better as the dives side has a pipe exit too! Give us a call if ytou have any questions etc.
