I installed a Magna Flow 4" turbo back system but had them put the 7" Round 30" long muffler on to keep the in cab noise down. I could tell a little increase in the cab noise but not to bad. Outside it sounds great and at idel it sounds almost like the stock exhaust. When you put your foot to it it sounds great not like some of the ones with no muffler or a little short one.
Took a 1800 mile family vacation right afterwards with no one complaining about it being loader inside. Don't even notice the difference anymore. |

The in cab noise isn't bad at all in fact I think it's abit more tame than just running with the BTM.The outside noise when the EBPV closes is definitely lower than running with the BTM as that was our main concern for many of our neighbors are Beemer owners and Police Officers 
Once the engine is fully warmed the exhaust has a high performance deep rumble to it but not at all loud like say a 5' with muffler delete.
If there's any flutter it's very minimal compared to the BTM installed where flutter was more exhibited.
Did you install the Wicked Wheel from Dieselsite yet as I believe that helped with flutter reduction. |
With my Hypermax exhaust, it sounds like a big rig. The muffler really doesn't have any muffling characteristics to it, it's a straight-through design and it's huge. The fluttering is very pronounced. I'm wanting to quiet the exhaust down and especially eliminate the annoying whooshing sound on cold idle. 6 years of that is enough. Otherwise the exhaust is in great shape still after 6 years of MN winter salt. I have no complaints about it, which is why I'm a little bummed to want to swap it...but I would like a quieter sound.
Sounds like the Magnaflow may be the ticket. |
Finally got around to ordering 4" Magnaflow exhaust (downpipe-back) and wow, what a pleasant difference in sound. No more 747 "wooshing" sounds in the morning when the X is warming up and it's quieter in the vehicle, too. The Magnaflow muffler actually muffles the sound of the diesel and still sounds great. I'm very happy with this purchase! Thanks for the heads up on the Magnaflow exhaust, Bill.
