Default magnaflow 4" or 6" round??

Hey everyone, im really looking at ditching the stock muffler and doing a relocation with a magnaflow round muffler, and im stuck between the 6" body or 4" body, i know many have done the 6" body and maybe one person on here has gone with 4" body. Im looking to see who has a 4" and how they like it and what would be the difference? im assuming just the sound? how different would it be?

the body of the muffler? I just got the magnaflow exhaust put on a couple weeks ago. Great sound! Not REAL loud but you can hear it and a good deep tone. Mine must be 4"

Nope, the diameter makes no appreciable difference at all. The length is where the noise cancellation comes in. I have the 4" X 18" on mine and it sounds great. Here is my installation thread with pics and a sound clip.

I did the same thing as Redneckjeep except mines welded on (hard to tell but I think he used brackets, both work fine). I highly recommend it. Its not too loud but lets you know its there, increased performance and ground clearance. When I'm descending hills while keeping it in gear its got a nice throaty tone with slight 'gurgles'. Had a local shop make it for me and saved hundreds over a 'kit'.



It's dirty but it says magnaflow

The only clamp my system has is at the stock location right behind the the factory "Y" pipe. We did this just in case I ever wanted to remove it and replace the stock system. Everything else is welded, though. ......and with stainless wire, so that the welds will not rust. It's a little more, but worth it.
