Super cheap, quiet muffler options
After dumping a ton of money into my exhaust trying one thing after another I have finally had enough. I just want a quiet exhaust system now. I will never make the I6 sound good to me. Every time I hear a V8 or Cummins go by I just get disgusted all over again at the sound of my I6.
I'm on a budget now and just wanting a cheap way to make my truck quiet.
Looking for thoughts, opinions and suggestions.
Thanks all.
By the way, I've heard a factory muffler on a 300 with no cats and it soudned like a Honda. Sound is important to me if it means my truck is going to sound like a Honda. I just want my truck to be quiet but I don't want it to sound like a four banger.

Try our 22" WickedFlow. It may not be the cheapest muffler out there, but it is quiet and free flowing. I haven't heard what it sounds like on an I6, but this muffler can tame really large trucks quite well, so it should sound all right on the I6. The sound should be deep and mellow. Most mufflers that are cheaper are either restrictive or too small to be effective at making it quieter.

Thanks Bear. I looked around and found what I think would work. I'll probably go for the 22'' dual out whicked flow. I'll run the tail pipes straight back just for looks. You think it'll be pretty quiet, though? And not sound zippy?

If it were me I would put on a single exhaust and exit behind the rear axle and use one of these mufflers.

A chambered muffler would give you a better sound but a large capacity chambered muffler is a bit pricey.

Its a turbo style muffler which has the 3 chambers. It also has packing surrounding the cores. The link to the muffler I showed has a 27" case length, that is roughly double the case length and capacity of your FM44. Another muffler that would be pretty quiet is the FM70 BB2 but it costs over double of what the magnaflow XLs do.

I just had my tailpipes rerouted straight out the back with no echo tips. I can't hear it in the cab hardly at all. If it is still loud, I can't hear it. I know I lost that tug boat idle - the only part of the 300 that sounds great. Oh well. What matters is I can hear myself think now when I drive.
