Mufflex Quality?
Well I am not so stupid afterall. After removing the aligning divots and breaking a clamp trying to install my mufflex 24 on my 09 ram sport and hearing rave reviews from everyone else on how easy it was to install I figured it was just me.
I paid $40 to repair broken clamp today, Mufflex doesnt return calls once they have your money, After carefully tightening clamps one of the bolts broke, stupid me. Replaced bolt, tightened again, exhaust still loose, tightened more, still loose tightened more, broken bolt. I cant be that stupid, after examining clamp realized that the ENGINEERS at Mufflex supplied clamps that are the same diameter when closed as the pipes they go around. I was going to call Mufflex and point this out but they wont return my calls, they already have my money.
Anybody thinking of purchasing a Mufflex system should give your heads a shake, save yourself the greif and go to a muffler shop and have them build a system. The Magnaflow sounds great but the mickey mouse hanger is a joke. At least use clamps that fit and have some gearth to them, customer service would be nice to. Message to Mufflex, your customer service sucks , Dont waste your money and time on Mufflex.

MDS Sound only during kick in and out?
Hey all, first post - I know this is an old thread, but I figured it's better to re-post here than open a new thread.
I'm thinking about the Mufflex exhaust for my new Ram, but despite the videos and sound bytes I can't decide on how aggressive I want the truck to sound. Can anyone give me more info on what it sounds like when the MDS is active? I read a little about sound changes when it's kicking in and out, and some people have commented about when it's actually active...
Where I live there's plenty of hills, so I don't generally stay in "eco-mode" very long before I'm climbing again...
My other ride is a PT Cruiser (2.4L I-4) with a somewhat loud flowmaster exhaust - and it drones like crazy at highway speeds, but doesn't sound like a fart can muffler by any means.

Last week I bought a drop in K&N filter and welded on a new magnaflow 18" muffler. For this week Ive calculated that I now get 3.4 more miles per gallon. HUGE difference in gas milage performance and sounds good. Wouldnt go with anything smaller than a 18" though (the in cab drone would be to much for my tastes)
Would go with the magnaflow and have it welded on at a exhaust shop. Only cost $150 bucks installed.

I did the 24" Mufflex and like it. The 3" side didn't line up too well and had to jack up the Magnaflow to get it seated properly. The right exhaust tip looks a little off but it works. Tried several times to get it aligned better and gave up. This is all using the clamps and not welded. Wasn't sure if I'd like it after the burn in, so went clamps only to test.
