What muffler you guys like on your 5.2s ?? Just cut my old rusty piece of junk out, need a cheap replacement that sounds good ! Glasspack maybe ?

 

Thrush. Pick one up at your local parts store for @$30.

 

Wow that's affordable.

 

Magnaflow


Cheap never sounds good.

 

I just did this. Had a beautiful custom dual setup including Flowmaster Delta Flow 50 si/do into 2" duals with 4" SS tips. Finally gave up the ghost after 10 years and rusted through.

So I was in a pinch and went to Oreilly's and picked up a Thrush 28" GP and a couple clamps.

First step was to start with just the Magnaflow cat -- WHEEEE!!!! ahh, but too loud.

Threw the Thrush on and it was still quite loud as it exited just under the cab. So I added a few more feet to exit just before the rear axle. Had to get a little creative with hangers and clamps. But for $60 with all parts and doing labor myself, I can't complain.

Impressions: quieter than the Flowmaster which I don't like. But it has a nice smooth rumble to it. Sounds good on revving or starting. Engine seems to spool easier although the kick in the seat when gunning is gone. Seems to have a bit more cruising legs also. So I'll use it for a while until I decide what to do again. I have zero regrets with the Flowmaster and would highly recommend it. In fact, the pipes rusted through but the muffler itself was still fine.

 

Mac flow path 100% 304 stainless steel, It will out last the truck!

 

True dual Magnaflow glasspacks!

+1^ ... and Magnaflow sounds great.

 

glasspacks are very loud , but, if you want a very deep tone and rumble id go with the hooker aerochamber ...

 

His key words were "cheap replacement", hence the thrush suggestion. Had a thrush on my ram. Sounded good. Had a Magnaflow on my Dakota which sounded excellent, but at a cost.
