Powerman5K Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 One thing to note is that Walker makes Magnaflow. If you like Magnaflow, you'll like Walker, and vice versa. Alright. All sounds good. Looks like I'm going in the Magnaflow direction. Thanks for all the insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdude747 Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 One thing to note is that Walker makes Magnaflow. If you like Magnaflow, you'll like Walker, and vice versa. Off-topic item ^ reminded me of: I actually work as a manufacturing/controls engineer for an exhaust OEM (among other things)... but all we make are Toyota exhausts (no aftermarket) . And at that, I work in a plant/department that doesn't make exhausts (although we do make pipe and stampings that eventually are made into such). What sucks as a home mechanic is that some of these companies are often suppliers (Walker was at one time, may still be?) or competitors (Tenneco's a big one there), and I often find my part buying habits following my personal opinions when such companies are involved, not the objective quality of said part.

LARIAT 85 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I have the 4.9 engine. I'd like to put a muffler on that is aggressive sounding. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm afraid (with a 6 cylinder) that it will sound like a lawn mower going down the road. If that's the case, I'll just get a regular one. Thoughts? I installed a Banks Monster cat-back exhaust system on my 1998 Jeep Wrangler with the 4.0L straight six engine and I think it sounds PERFECT.

I do to an extent also. Walker and Monroe were Tenneco Automotive and a couple of others I believe. Since at one time my employer was owned by Tenneco (a) I get a check each month as part of my pension from them and (b) I do try to buy their products. I haven't needed a muffler in years, but Darth has Monroe shocks all around. They honored the lifetime warranty on my front shocks even though I had lost the receipt. Sears shocks were made by Monroe, and Sears did honor my rear shock lifetime warranty by replacing them with Monroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerman5K Posted August 19, 2022 Author Share Posted August 19, 2022 Thanks. That was extremely helpful! Getting ready to pull the trigger on this purchase but have a couple more questions. What's the difference between a round and oval muffler? Going with a Magnaflow. Can anyone give me specific models that they use/like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
