new member here.. i need to see if i can get some feedback on turbo back exhaust systems... have a 06 2500 and want to put a true 4" system on but this time around i want one that performs on the dyno but is docile at idle and crusing speed but of course can be aggressive while dropping the hammer... dont want any drone either... i had a banks monster exhaust on my 04.5 and it was nice but i want to go another route this time???.... magnaflow,volont or who??? i do not want to be heard from 5 blocks away??? any idea's???

 

I did a cat delete and a 30" magnaflow straight thru and like it alot. not too loud under normal driving conditions and plenty of flow. the only time I hear it is when I hammer it and the boost is at 36 psi...

 

thanks much.. im leaning the magnaflow route... how much louder at idle or cruise do you think it is than stock??? im sure the deletion of the cats make it slightly loader..

 

under load it is louder, cruising - negligable, idle - negligable. it is really good in my opinion. too loud can get old after a while. it flows really well and the turbo spools much faster. when I have my AFE stage 2 kit on there, I over boost really easy with my edge set on 1.

 

Did you have to weld the muffler in? I saw a magnaflow with 4" inlets that claimed it would clamp on to existing pipes. What about the cat delete? Just go to a muffler shop for that or can you buy something yourself?

 

I bought a 4" 4' piece of exhaust from Summit racing ($14 bux) and had intended on doing the cat delete myself but never had the time. since I wanted it done, I ended up going to an exhaust shop to let them do it. $225 installed for the muffler, and cat delete.
