[Diesel Durango]

Anyone got a good recomendation for a muffler? Ebay pops up some generic ones and magnaflow, and a company called Aero. i'm looking in the 4" flavor. there are also flowmaster and other brands with 4" options.

what's everyone using?

I think i'm going to want something...I'm running 4" tubing downpipe back.

No Aero turbine or whatever they are, they don't sound as good as say a MBRP, and they create a lot of cabin noise. At least that was my observation... I'm running 4" from the turbo back, no muffler and I havent been pulled over yet...

the Aero Turbines are expensive... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford...tegoryZ33636QQihZ015QQitemZ250113731575QQrdZ1

that's compared to the MBRP's and Magnaflows.

There is a chambered 4" magnaflow or flowmaster (can't remember) that looks good to me...

Here is another one I was interested in.. 4" but claims it is fairly quiet...

Here are links to the 4" flowmasters and magnaflows I found that are 4" chambered.. I ran a straight-through muffler 3" last time.. Not deafening but pretty loud I found, too loud for me. I figured the chambered is better than a straight pipe as far as sound...

Here are pics of the different chambered mufflers..

Some other shorter chambered Flowmaster 3.5 and 3" mufflers...

And an expensive magnaflow that I would probably never buy..

I did some research one TDR mostly about people using chambered mufflers with diesels and a few guys said they are running them and they are fine. Some soot will buildup in side but nothing too bad I figure as long as your 4BT is not bombed or similar..

i wonder how chambered mufflers sound on a diesel. I also have to figure out if i can fit an oval case muffler vs the round case. the round case seems a bit easier, but i haven't gotten that far.

it'd be cool to hear a comparison of chambered vs. straightthrough

straight pipe is the way to go if you can get away with it:grinpimp: I had flowmaster 40s on my 6.2 on it sounded pretty good

muffler? isn't that what the turbo is for. bounce

Some other options:

I'll probably use the 4" straighthrough and hope it's quiet enough with low restriction.

with a 34" body, that thing seems huge! most of them are 24-30" bodies.

i do need to get some adapters from them though...

Any of you folks that are going to 4" exh. getting performance or mileage increase?

Have you tried hooker aero chambers they make a nice turbo muffler

hmm they don't have any 4" in/out mufflers that i could find.

I'm going to straight pipe it for now, as long as i am 100% legal i don't think i will worry about it being quiet for now. I was set on getting a donaldson muffler, they are supposed to flow pretty well an be quiet. they are pretty big though. I think i will hold off for now, if straight is too loud i'll do something about it.

Chambered mufflers are usually very restrictive for turbo'd engines. This will most likely have an adverse affect on EGTs and boost numbers.
