We Ranked Every Magnaflow Muffler We Carry!

[@torianoswain8015]

I totally enjoyed that presentation of Magna Flow exhaust. Could you do more presentation on other exhaust systems.

[@senorbonbon]

hey man, I currently have a revel catback system on my gs350 2010 lexus, and it’s definitely a upgrade from the stock exhuast system but I want it to be a little louder, I was thinking of swapping the mufflers from the catback system with some magnaflow 4in round (10416). Any thoughts?

[@FiveBoroNative]

These videos really do help. All of these manufacturers have a plethora of different mufflers and it's hard to figure out which ones will give you what you are looking for in terms of tone, NVH and performance.

[@FiveBoroNative]

@@senorbonbon I'm not a huge fan of Magnaflow exhaust products, but from time to time I have heard them sound good on certain vehicles. 6-cylinder vehicles can be a different challenge from 8 cylinder engines, entirely, but I will say that I have heard some very interesting Toyota/Lexus builds with Carven R mufflers and with Vibrant 1792/1794 (12") or the 1793/1795 (18") resonators. I wouldn't give up on your Magnaflow idea and search KZbin to get a feel for how those Vibrant products might sound on your car, as well.

[@ASMR-soothingsounds]

I love the deep tone and rumble the magnaflows have.

[@mrbear4111]

Really helped me decide what was best for my car. There’s so many different options out there and finding random crappy videos on KZbin aren’t always the way to go. So you guys hit every mark, really appreciate it!

[@johnathancrumm]

The 11” seems like the one to pick over the 18” or 14” ones. Even though it’s “louder” than the first two, it’s still sounds like it’s the better choice. Thank you for helping me pick my new muffler out.

[@jeremysantos4753]

Do a series like this on your vibrant products!! Good video as always 👍

[@FiveBoroNative]

The issue with Vibrant products is that people use the parts Vibrant calls "resonators" as mufflers and I rarely see actual Vibrant mufflers on people's cars, these days. The other issue is that their products pretty much all have the same sound, but either lower or higher volumes depending on the size of resonators or mufflers or both if you use them together.

[@jeremysantos4753]

@@FiveBoroNative Vibrant mufflers are pretty popular in the Honda Scene when combined with Kteller piping kits. But you're right... everyone else vibrant is primarily known for resonators. It would be cool for him to put a video together showcasing each of vibrant's resonators are capable of; I know they have somewhat of a variety in products like bottle-neck and ultra-quiet style Resonators in various lengths/diameters.

[@FiveBoroNative]

@@jeremysantos4753 they did a video with a BMW showing a 1792 vs the Ultra Quiet and the sound was identical between the two, but quieter with the Ultra Quiet which makes sense because it is larger. I haven't had much luck using Vibrant resonators to kill drone. They kill a lot of it on my V8, but not all and it makes the exhaust note muddy so I removed them and installed Helmholtz resonators which work better and preserve the tone much much better....

[@danielsherrill7085]

I have the 14" on my Silverado, and it's perfect for me. Not too much louder at idle than stock so I don't disturb the neighborhood, but it's aggressive and plenty loud when accelerating hard. For me it's the perfect blend and I still get the smooth and deep Magnaflow sound when I want it

[@annie2faded]

Do you get any drone? I’m debating on getting a 14” on my Ram (Although my resonators are deleted)

[@danielsherrill7085]

@@annie2faded the only drone I get is at 1800 rpm. Any lower or higher than that it goes away. I don't know why it does it only at that particular engine speed, but when I hear it I just speed up or let off a fuzz and it's good

[@artdeleon2833]

Did you leave the resonator patches on?

[@danielsherrill7085]

@@artdeleon2833 yes, I left the resonators intact on mine

[@Nickysticksofficial]

Thanks for having such a great clip for each muffler right after

[@ragintaurusmusclemercury7023]

Magnaflows always had a great tone to them. Unfortunately kids today just want muffler and resonator deletes. That being said the last time I used a magnaflow was the 14 inch years ago on a 81 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. It was a happy medium between tone and volume. The guy that I sold the car to loved it and what's the selling point for him.

[@jeremysantos4753]

Don't worry, there are still some kids who enjoy a nice, deep tone!

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

Agreed. I haf all Magnaflow & Vibrant components on my 1997 Infiniti J30. Loved, loved, loved the sound! Drone was minimal, but screamed at WOT. I wish I hadn't sold it.

[@flute136]

@@senorbonbon i mean it will be louder for sure, its branded as a deep tone muffler, i dont know much about lexus, is that gonna pair well with your cars engine do you think? and just be wary with magnaflow, ive heard the drone being bad for some people. i personally am thinking im going to do a straight through borla muffler, as it is designed to just accentuate the sound of the engine more.

[@ragdolltrucking]

The magnaflows design leads to a quieter idle/louder full throttle effect compared to the opposite of a chambered muffler like a flowmaster, that's much better for daily drivers but if you want your truck to sound like it has a cam get the flowmaster

[@wusthof641]

Faaaantastic video! Magnaflows are a great bang for buck muffler that tune the exhaust for your application as you well pointed out and sound good to boot with their inherent lower exhaust note sound. Even tho Flowmaster is garbage, maybe you could make a similar vid with some of the different series they provide. Again, great vid!!!

[@937anme]

So glad I found this video guys, I recently bought an 14 silve and was wondering on how it would sound, specifically with the magnaflow, is like this video was made for me in a way, I'm sure you guys can make lots of more videos made from your archives of videos and make reviews like these either specially with the muffler brand or car model or engine, it's awesome to see reviews like that. Now, in regards to improving videos, maybe there should be a way of following through a video by following a concept, such as for example : you record the video inside the shop both a few seconds of idle engine / reving engine: out side the shop record close to the muffler tip, and finish with inside cabin sound from start engine to reving, and the take off is the bonus, which you guys did, not saying you guys didn't, but once that method is followed, I'm sure great reviews will be made, then you have perfect reviews, each car with its precise audio. Awesome

[@kdogbigdog]

I have a 2021 GMC 6.2L. The Magnapack does sound great at start-up, idle, and running around... get on the highway or any stretch of road where you will be maintaining between 1500 and 1900 RPM and get ready for extreme drone. If you don't want the drone you need to buy the MagnaFlow D-Fit Performance Exhaust Muffler Replacement Kit With Muffler 19534. It has the J-Pipe that eliminates the drone while on the highway or long drives

[@4speed3pedals]

These muffler tests avoid doing one major component of a muffler. Along with the noise, back pressure is a horsepower snitch. It requires a pressure gauge that can measure at least 20# and a port to thread in or somehow connect the gauge and an O2 port is ideal for every vehicle with a Cat. has a sensor port somewhere in fromt of the muffler. Best to use the B location instead of in front of the converter which will exclude flow through the cat. The higher the back pressure, the less horsepower your engine will produce. Combine that with a decibel meter and the tests will have meaning and a way to categorize them. CEL? it will go out so nothing is harmed.

[@billking772]

I bought a 3" mandrel bent stainless JBA cat back kit for my old 98 K1500 and swapped in the Magnapack. Love the deep tone and it barks pretty good when I put my foot into it. Drone really isn't bad. I like to be able to hear my exhaust. The JBA muffler wasn't deep/loud enough and before that I ran a single in/dual out Flowmaster that was just loud. Good presentation, looking forward to more good content!
