I don't really remember exactly but I would say actual muffler is about 14-16", with inlet/outlet its probably 20" or so...maybe a tad shorter...I can measure it for ya if you need me to.

Same as 4x4Fink. My 18" Magnaflow was a bit too loud at highway speeds. How does the Vortex do in that category from the inside? If I can get convinced, I might try it when I get my 2.5" system.

He's got a Tacoma...if you've ever pulled up next to a Chevy/Ford with Flows, it'll sound like that but not as loud...a nice deep, mellow tone...but when you hit the gas it really wakes up! I set off on average 4 car alarms a day driving through campus to class...its a lotta fun!

If your Magnaflow annoyed you at highway speeds then I would advise against the Vortex...I'm used to it by now so it doesn't bother me and by the time I get my BFG's on here...not a big deal at all, but I understand what you mean.
Good luck!

I personally believe a bigger exhaust pipe will yield a deeper tone, but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm?
