Quietest aftermarket cat back at cruising speed ?
The mod list marches on and I am now onto the cat back for my 93 V6 5 speed. I now am comfortable which is the loudest from the other thread but I want to go the other direction.
I have listened to Corey's Magnaflow about 25 times now
After being burned in the past by systems with really bad resonances at highway speeds in my 3rd gen ( 1900-2100 rpm), I am really carefull.
My first Borla was a nightmare on my 96 V6 and eventually I returned it due to being impossibly boomy at 1900-2100 rpm. The replacement TRD was great as was the TRd on my twin cat 99. (the early borla's had a fix with a weld in evnturi at the muffler inlet apparently).
Anyway, looking for a nice low restriction cat back that sounds good and throaty when you get on it but not tiring on the highway as I will be in this truck a lot on the highway on the weekends commuting to my part time job at a Ski Resort.
Whaddya like ?
Thanks
David

You are probably right but you are supposed to enable me, not make me leave it stock :pat:
Just kidding
Thanks

If you like the general tone of the Magnaflows, then see if you can fit a 24" in there. The longer ones will be quieter. I think folks have decided that an 18" Magnaflow is about as quiet as stock, so the 24" should be downright silent.

sorry about that.. but i tried a magnaflow on my 92 and i thought it sounded like crap, so i went back to stock. personally i like silence from my vehicles, at idle or at cruising speed.

The Dynomax super turbo is probably the quietest performance muffler out there. It uses a winding fiberglass passage through a mechanical baffle.
The center section is packed in fiberglass while the ends act like a mechanical baffle. I'm fairly sure this is offered in a cat back for truck's.
