Mufflers

Your 12288 is the same design as my 12388, except that mine is 6 inches longer. Mine is louder than the factory muffler, no question about it. How do you compare yours to the factory muffler???

As quiet as stock, if not more, at start up.
Cruising, not much difference.
WOT, a little louder.

I guess I'm used to a deeper rumble and having the engine let me know it's there.

Odd. Even my daughter who does not live near me and therefore rides with me very rarely noticed that the Magnaflow an was louder than stock. Oh well. Maybe what we're talking about here is more perception than actual sound level.

Thanks!

Ruger,

Did you delete the resonator as well?

Thanks

 

[Ruger]

No, Desmo, I kept the resonator. Wanted to preclude any drone possibilities. The Raptor is my daily driver, after all.

In replacing the factory muffler with the Magnaflow, I learned something rather important: there is nothing in particular wrong with the factory muffler. The only difference between before and after is that the truck's a little louder and the sound is a little smoother. The factory can was a little quieter at normal throttle openings, but had a raspy character at WOT. I miss the WOT bark.

Thanks Ruger.

Flowmaster 50 no res.

I replaced the factory muffler with the Borla 40349 and left everything else in place; resonator untouched, rear pipes remain and it's perfect. A nice growl at start up and rumble while idling. A low tone & powerful sound while accelerating. Slight discernible drone when cruising. Overall I'd call it a smooth "Big Block" audio experience. I love it.

Do you have any sound clips of your setup? This is the exact setup I want on my 2013.

Here we go again…. SW headers + corsa exhaust = ***** dropper.

I'll second this. After hearing someone at snoball with this setup it's the best I've heard yet. Only difference was he was catless. I've established videos don't suffice when making a decision like this.
