Replacement muffler advice
Hey guys, one end of the OEM muffler on my '04 rusted out, and with only the front hanger supporting the muffler, I know it won't be long before the front end rusts through and breaks off.
Since the pipes seem to be made of T430 stainless, I think I'm just gonna replace the muffler. I'm happy with the sound of the stock system, I just want something that will last.
I can't seem to find anything stainless in the right configuation. Anyone here replace their muffler and keep the stock pipes and hangers? Can you let me know what you used?
Thanks! Carl

magnaflow muffler
I just put on a magnaflow universal muffler as they are light in weight and sound good and not too loud. Inside cab noise with them are not bad either at highway speeds.
Search magnaflow.com for universal mufflers they have the dimensions on there. Measure your muffler length first.
I bought mine from ebay but got part number from magnaflow.com

We can't see your exhaust system, so making any sort of judgement would be uninformed. I would suggest that you take the truck to a muffler shop, get it up on a lift, and get an estimate to get a replacement tailpipe. Caution with exhaust systems is warranted, carbon monoxide can mess you up.
