I am so torn between the Mufflex 18 and 14. I am afraid the 18 won't be loud enough and from what I am reading the 14 might be to much and have drone. Any help here would be great.
This is such a tough decision and it's so subjective. I like to hear my exhaust but not be driven out of the cab by it. If it was for me, I'd pick the 18".
I have the 18" and love how it isn't annoying at cruise. I love the 14" sound, but wouldn't want it every day. The 18 is still a great sound that is every day friendly@
I got my custom exhaust done through my dealer. I had told him I wanted it loud, but not obnoxiously so. However when I got it back they had used the 14. Ultimately I wound up having them put in resonators, to tone it down a bit, since I was waking the neighbors in the morning. Wish I had gotten the 18 from the beginning.
I had the 18" with the resonators left on. Wanted to wait till I could shut off the MDS with the DSP, Which I did about 2 weeks ago so today decided to have the resonator removed and it sounds great now!! I was a little disappointed with the 18 Magnaflow with the resonator but with out it it sounds awesome and no drone.
i have heard the 14 and it is not extremely loud but loud enough that it would get annoying on long trips. you have to adjust the radio to over compensate for it. I just installed the magnaflow catback system and very pleased with it.
It has what i call a grown-up growl. enough to let you know there is something there but not obnoxious. It sounds very well put together
I'm looking for something a little louder than stock so it looks like the 24 would be the way to go because Muffles says stock is a loudness of 2 on a 1-10 scale and the 24 is a 4. So I think that would do the trick. The 18 is a 7 and the 14 is a 9. I'm sure the 14 would be louder than I would want but not sure about the 18. How much noise is in the cab at cruising speed on the highway on any of these compared to the stock? I want to be able to comfortably http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/comfortablytalk to others in the cab with me.
I have had my 18" Mufflex in for about a month now. I have driven to hell and back (9200 miles in 4 months) Love the sound. Just right for me. Nice rumble and don't even notice it in the cab. Sounds real good on start up and exceraration with a mild idol. I am still running my resonators. I imagine 14" would sound real good too but think the 24" would be too quiet.
I went with the 18 inch mufflex. I am happy with the sound, but as far as everyone saying there is no drone, mine is bad. Usually everytime overdrive kicks in. If I downshift to fourth gear its fine. Also I now have a fluctuating low speed rpm. Any one else? I have no other mechanical mods whatsoever.
