Magnaflow Street Series


Magnaflow Overland


Gibson Dual Sport

 

Thanks! Hopefully Dirty Deeds make a short “before and after” or just a short video of their cat-back with idle, take-off, and revving. That drive-by video doesn’t do it justice. I think they have more exhaust sounds at the end of their 20-minute video, but didn’t post it.

 

Nice post, thanks for putting them all together. Thought I'd add a couple more.

Thanks for posting more vids! It’ll save people a lot of time when searching which cat-back to buy.

 

Dirty Deeds

 

So what is the consensus on the best options gentlemen! I had not heard of most of these, I noticed you mentioning Dirty Deeds. Looked them up and found this. Is it just a muffler? https://dirtydeedsindustries.com/st...undra-exhaust/v/2022TunSlipOn-LNG-BED-NOT-TRD

 

Had a Dirty Deeds system on my 22 Tundra. Excellent system and IMO best sound. Just received shipping notice today from Dirty Deeds for my 23 TRD Pro. I will post before/after sound clips once installed

 

I really like Dirty Deeds sound also-

excited to hear it. It's probably the one I'm gonna go with just waiting to see how the Borla kit sounds when it's released.

 

Want to get this, but I have a 23 Platinum with the power steps. I think the steps will cause an issue.

 

Mine hits, need to adjust a little further. I might wait until my dirty deeds exhaust shows up. The different part length might solve the issue.

 

My favorite is the flower-master, looks and sounds good. I don’t like single sided exhausts.

 

By far dirty deeds based on all of the YouTube videos that have been posted on this forum. Probably by far the most expensive, but from what I’ve read on here he makes great stuff.

 

I’d really like to see some vids by people who bought his cat-back system.

 

I mean... these are all V6 noises at the end of the day. Besides that, I guess I’m in the minority, liking MBRP and Shade12 best... and then I’d take stock over any of the other ones, once I factor in that those other options costed some money.

 

Is a cat-back exhaust needed, or just a high-flow muffler? I realize I bought a cat-back system, but it seems like everyone likes dirty deeds and he says to keep the 2.5” tubing and the only restriction is the muffler.

Couldn’t we just save money by replacing the muffler only?

 

That's good to know I can just swap the muffler because I really wanted to go with the TRD dual tip.

 

I personally like the sound of the Flowmaster FX. If there’s no cabin drone, then that’s the way I’ll most likely go.

 

I’m putting a 22” Magnaflow dual I/O on it tomorrow. Too much drone for me at 2k RPMs. My 20-year old self would’ve liked it! It has a good sound above 2,500 RPMs and when cruising at 1,500 RPMs, but its almost as loud as my Challenger R/T was in that 2k RPM range.

 

I just recorded some videos of driving by and it doesn’t seem that bad. My only complaint is in-cab sound.

 

Let us know if you get any drone from the Magnaflow. I don’t want the in cab drone either.

 

Carven cut/clamp is the best option for the price I believe. Plus it sounds great (all my opinion).

 

Finally got the Magnaflow installed. Sounds much better to me. Basically the loud drone at 2k is now the best sound and the 1,500rpm cruising and above 2k rpm range are quieter but still have some rumble. I really like the sound of it now that the drone turned into sweet-sounding exhaust rumble.

Also to my knowledge, I think I’m the only one with a Magnaflow dual exhaust on their 3rd gen Tundra since Magnaflow doesn’t make one.

I’ll try and get some pics.

 

Looks great, let's hear it.

 

Stumbled on a new one this week. Anyone seen or used the TIG Welding Creations slip on muffler? Pretty nice looking and sounding for $750 + shipping. No idea if there’s a website, but doesn’t seem to be.

Tigweldingcreations@gmail.com also on FB - out of Houston, TX. Reached out to them and waiting on what they have to say/offer.

 

These are $750 without shipping. It does sound nice

 

Yep! Which is a pretty reasonable price for what appears to be a quality product. (Updating my post to include the price, which I should’ve done initially)

 

wish they had a web page in addition to FB - or maybe a posted phone number to contact. The lack of those two items being easily accessible has to hurt business - at least for me.
