2007 - 2008 Magnaflow Single Exhaust Pics??? - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I have been searching all over trying to find a picture of this and have had no luck. I've found 1 picture through a google image search and it looks a little goofy. If anyone has this exhaust and wouldn't mind throwing a pic online I'd really appreciate it. I'm getting ready to buy and would like to see what it's going to look like. Magnaflow part number 16753. Thanks in advance!

I have the same exhaust and wouldn't recommend it. The droan was awful at first but seems to be fading as it gets older. The tip is a little gawky and ugly but the exhaust sounds fine. It fits well, performs well, and is quality stuff. But...... for the same money you can get a better bolt-on (Corsa, Banks, etc.), or save some money and get true duals with powersticks or something. I'm ordering powersticks next week and selling my Magnaflow. I only bought it because I found a smoking deal on Craigslist.

I think I can deal with the drone, I've gotten a price from performancepeddler.com for $378.28 with free shipping... I just really would like to see what it looks like, I don't like the way it looked in the one pic I've seen so far. If anyone has a pic I'd really appreciate it.

I Wouldn't Try Magnaflow On A Newer Tundra, It Seems To Not Really .. Fit .. With The "Toughness"
You Need A Muscle Sound

I just put the same exhaust on my truck, the drone is driving my girl friend crazy. But i think the tip looks really nice. If you want to buy mine send me a PM. I'll post some pics tomorrow in the day light.

Looking forward to the pics, thanks! I may be interested if I like the way it looks. I've been reading of different ways to calm down the drone a little.

It sounds great, not too loud but rumbles quite nicely.

Here's all I have in my Photobucket:

If it looks like yours I'm probably going to buy. I'd like to see other angles but really appreciate the help. On the Magnaflow website the tip looks like it come out at more of an angle where yours looks like it's coming straight out the side. The Magnaflow site only shows a pic of the exhaust itself, no vehicle pics. Thanks for the help...

You can loosen up the rear clamp and move the tail section/tip around a little bit. I just tried to tuck it in as far as possible while making sure I didn't cook my mudflap.

KlipschRVX · #11 (**permalink**) 07-02-2009, 04:16 PM

That makes sense, some of the pics I saw made it look like the tip was pointed at a 45 degree angle at the corner of the bumper and I really didn't like the way that it looked. Yours looks great, it's more what I was after...

Is there anything that can cut down on the drone?

greg hazlett · #13 (**permalink**) 07-06-2009, 08:37 PM

Buyer beware! You have been warned about the drone! I had that setup and my wife and I could not talk in the cab with that exhaust!

here is my Magnaflow 12468 muffler installed along with my Magnaflow 35190 double stainless steel tips. All the istall work was done by Luis at Plaza Muffler here in downtown Orange 714-639-6460. I surprised the muffler is not really that loud unless you punch it, and it's low and rumbly at idle, very very slight drone at 65mph. overall I'm happy with the sound. I hope you like it sound clips will come later as my ex got the digital camera.

You can make your own resonator tubes from pieces of exhaust pipe. Cut a hole and weld a "T" into each tailpipe about half way along the length of the tailpipe, i.e. approximately at the rear axle. The resonator should be about 26" long, closed on the far end, and made from about the same diameter tubing as the tailpipe. If you have duals, use two of them. This is a "Helmholtz resonator", or a passive phase cancellation device similar to the technique used by Corsa to eliminate drone.

The exhaust sound will travel down the tailpipe, reach the "T", then make a right turn and travel through the resonator. Then it reflects off the closed wall on the end of the resonator and returns to the tailpipe. Because the sound has to travel the extra 26" through the resonator and back, it will be "reversed in polarity" when it recombines with the exhaust sound at the "T", thus cancelling it out.

My resonators are horizontal and "T" off the tailpipes at 90 degrees. They are parallel to the rear axle. They work superbly. It doesn't just quiet the drone, it completely cancels it, just like turning off a switch.

It is important to note the 26" length is selected to cancel drone at highway cruise...the typical 1800-2000 rpm 100 hz moaning. Mine was so bad the dash plastic would rattle. Full throttle red line was actually quieter than this drone.
