jkeaton Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Everyone will have different opinions. Kinda like asking what is the best tire, or best paint color. I'm a magnaflow person. Can't stand flowmaster. Edited January 6, 2015 by jkeaton Emmanuelsxt6blacktop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobitz68 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 You're going to get answers all over the place on this one... I agree that magnaflows sound the best after having tried a few of the major brands on other vehicles. Blowmasters are raspy and cause a lot of resonance in the cabin in my experience. There is no direct replacement listed, but if you crawl under your DJ you should be able to get measurements that will help you find the correct model to fit with the least amount of fabrication... Or, just go to an exhaust shop and pay someone else to do the leg work. Good luck. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Chornobey Powley Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm thinking of getting a magna flow single in dual out 3" cut the two back black box things off and get some nice tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ZINGA Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm hoping to modify the exhaust on my 300M Special later this year, and I've found the best thing to do is to spend some time on Youtube with a set of good speakers and see what others have done (I've done that with decent computer speakers, home theater by flinging the video to the TV over my Chromecast, and BTing my phone to my Journey and listening over the Alpine system). My Special has the 3.5L HO V6, so I primarily searched for things like "Borla 3.5L V6", "Magnaflow Chrysler 3.5L V6", etc. The car currently has a sound not too different from the VQ35 equipped Infiniti G-series and Nissan Fairlady sports car (G35 sedan and coupe, 350Z in North America), and it isn't too different from the Pentastar 3.6, and Camaro 3.6, so I've listened to hundreds of videos of Fairladys, LX cars, LD cars, LC cars, Zeta Camaros, etc. etc. For the Journey, search for Journeys, 200s, Avengers 2011-2014, then expand to Dodge and Chrysler 3.6 vehicles from there to get the best comparison. Every engine is different, and every car has different tuning even if they have the same engine, so that sick-sounding Avenger probably won't sound exactly like your Journey, but it serves has a good frame of reference for what that particular brand of muffler will offer you. Borla, Magnaflow, Flowmaster, Cherry Bomb, etc. all have their own unique sounds. Personally, I'll be going with Borla on my Special. I was planning on doing the same on my Journey, but I've decided any mods for it will be ones I can quickly remove when I upgrade in 4-5 years to something else. It's my daily and I can't justify pouring money into it like that when I have my Special for modding, not to mention the loss in value from modifying it.

Lobitz68 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 ...I've found the best thing to do is to spend some time on Youtube with a set of good speakers and see what others have done (I've done that...BTing my phone to my Journey and listening over the Alpine system). I'm picturing you listening on your stereo in the DJ while driving aggressively to the sound of the exhaust... Ha! B4ZINGA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Schatz Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 I put two MagnaFlow mufflers in my 2014. It sounds really good. I have had magnaflows on three vehicles and they are the brand that I use. It has a distinct rumble where as in my opinion the flowmaster makes a more bubbling noise. Flowmaster sounds cool on an old toyota. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4in7 Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Just to piggyback on this topic, would you see any gains by just swapping out the factory 1 in 2 out muffler with a high flow Magnaflow? Or would you need to eliminate the stock muffler AND resonators to see any appreciable difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't see any noticeable gains without intake upgrades as well... this would be mostly exhaust tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
