    Which would you suggest, and which model? Oh yeah, and I will probably be going with a smoke stack exhaust.

    Yup, all depends on what you're going for. Flowmaster's are generally loud and raspy. I love a quiet sleeper and that's why I chose the magnaflow which is about 20" in length. I love it!!! :waytogo:

    yep, right behind the cab. I figure it will look original/goofy which is the look I am going for.


    And thanks for the replies!

    My magnaflow sounds nice while accelerating and cruising but when the rpm's fall between shifts or while decelerating it sounds like a bunch of bees playing kazoos. Overfawkingrated, overpriced turbo that is all it is. The next muffler on there will be a borla.
