MAGNAFLOW? HEMI WHICH ONE? RESONATOR? Y-PIPE? ORDERING TODAY HELP HURRY!
A few magnaflow questions for my 2005 Dodge Ram HEMI. I want to place the order asap today so I can have it for this weekend. So any quick advice would be helpful. My truck currently has superchips flashpaq and a AEM intake.
?1. Magnaflow mufflers 12259 vs. 12289. Which one do I want? I want it to rumble, have a deep low tone. Where I live everyone has 40 series flowmasters, I have had that before. That is to loud inside and outside for my wife’s liking. So using that as the comparison, which muffler to go with and also do I want to leave the stock resonator on or off?
?2. Ok, I have been told by many forum members get rid of the y-pipe. So I was going to replace the factory y-pipe with magnaflow part 10778. Forum members recommended this part, and making this change. Magnaflow just said that without adding major engine mods, like supercharger, nitrous, etc not to do this. They said the backpressure with the factory y-pipe is what you want. That on late model engines it isn’t wise to mess with changing that y-pipe? He said it would be extremely loud, have to little back pressure, etc etc. Is this BS?
So, which muffler? Resonator on/off? New y-pipe 10778?
I thought I had researched this to the max, and decided what I want. Not magnaflow has told me the exhaust I was hearing on their website is a longer muffler and no resonator! Before they told me completely different setup. So I don’t know what I am hearing, and obviously they don’t either. So any help would be appreciated as I plan to order within 2 hours. Thanks.
