Magnaflow XL muffler
I replaced my damaged stock muffler so got this one. I asked for quiet muffler- I'm not looking for sound quality. I just want a quiet truck.
I was told the length determines how loud it is. Shape is inconsequential.
so this is a XL R21227 (I couldn't find that part # on the web but it was on my receipt)
Just driving home, it was loud. It sounds good enough but we'll see after I go do some freeway and offroad. hopefully it doesn't drone too bad.
I may add a smaller muffler at the rear if it is.
It does tuck up nicely compared to stock so it should keep out of harm's way a bit better.

Looks nice! I wish they would have tucked it up more, cause it looks like there's plenty of room above it.

it could go higher if you cut the pipe at the cats and rerouted but I didn't have time for that. It is angled higher at the rear, nice and high but yes, you can tuck it up much further. I'll do that when I re-route the front crossover pipe & cats
update=
I noticed it seems to have a bit more pep and my scangauge does read higher mpg's than before the muffler. Could it really affect it like this?
anyway, the sound is not bad at all. It's got a nice sound but if you stomp on it, it's loud. I still may add a second muffler, we'll see how it feels after a few hrs on the freeway

Any updates on muffler? I'm looking to to get mine done but like you I don't want it to be loud.
Thanks

the one above, although nice, seems a bit large, if you want a good offroad muffler with light low tones only on acceleration, check out flowmaster 50 series mufflers, they are small and square and can be tucked nicely......

The Magnaflow is long but not too big. If I routed the pipe up a bit, the entire muffler would be above the frame rails.
The flowmaster 50 is way too loud for me.
from my understanding-
longer= quieter
I think there is a good reason OEM mufflers are massive.

X 2 on the Flowmaster 50 being loud. I went back and added a resinator behind mine but now it sounds like a force inducted papershredder. a local member got a "turbo" thrush muffler, very similar to stock size w/ just a slightly deeper tone; i wish i would have done the same.
