More pipe to hang, not stainless like stock so it will rust. Personally, I would put a good stainless Y in place of thew stock one and leave the stainless pipe. I left mine all stock until the Magnaflow cat-back. I didn't use the provided mid pipe because it is for the 06/07 with a front resonator and our 08 doesn't have one.

Everything coming out is being replaced with SS. I'm not letting them put crappy tubing down there that I'll have to replace in two years because it's full of holes!Originally Posted by lxman1

So after stopping by the exhaust shop and talking with one of the techs, I decided to ditch the "Y" and go straight into a dual in/out Magnaflow 11379. Got the muffler for $88 shipped, and the install will come to $270 including the two rectangular tips. Can't wait until next Friday!
Got everything but the tips installed on Friday. Turns out that the 11379 is not an "X" on the inside. There's honeycomb between the two sides, but they don't cross side-to-side. I can't even hear it inside the cab at idle, but it sounds pretty good otherwise, though a bit "fluttery".

Is it just me, or are those exits a little far apart? If you wanted it like that cool, but I think they'd look better a little tighter.

I'm thinking he's going for the "Gibson" type rectangular tips which need that spacing. Because of their shape, they'll end up just about touching.Originally Posted by pitbull24

The Maggies almost never drone in the cab, even on MDS Hemis. I think you made a good choice. I prefer the sound of the Cherry Bombs, myself, but I can go under and cut/reweld another muffler in anytime myself with minimal cost. Since you were paying for it to be done, going all stainless right down to the Maggie muffler will cost you less in the long run...Originally Posted by Brandon Anderson

Yessir. Once the tips are installed, they're going to be very close to each other. Originally Posted by HammerZ71

I did like the sound clips of the Cherry Bombs better, as far as I can tell from the clips anyway, but I'm certainly not unhappy with the way it is right now. I am glad I waited for the 11" muffler instead of the 22" he had on-hand when I first went in though. I don't think I would have been happy with that one.Originally Posted by HammerZ71
