my 2002 2500HD has a large DI/DO magnaflow muffler...I'm getting old and i'm tired of the rougher ride and noise. I've decided to go back to factory style exhaust and get a set of Michelin tires to replace these loud(ish) all terrain tires. What brand mufflers should i be looking at?

Or, does anyone in the Houston area have a stock 99-07 classic muffler for a HD series gasser?

Factory, I don’t blame you. My daily is nice and quiet and I like it. Doesn’t make a bunch of noise when I start it up at 430am in the garage, and quiet driving down the road.

that's kind of what i figured. I'm going back to the factory muffler, quiet tires and eventually i'll get the TVS1900 installed for nice quiet power.

My Tahoe has the biggest DI/DO 3in muffler I've ever seen its a Flopro I don't know the part number but its honestly as quiet as factory even with long tube headers(with cats). Put it this way my mother has a brain tumor and is extremely sensitive to light and sound. I drive her to her doctors appointments and she says her 2016 Mazda CX5 is to loud so she prefers I drive her places in my Tahoe.

Check offer up or craigslist. I found my full factory cat back exhaust for 80 bucks in friendswood.

I dont want to hear about your friends wood, thanks


The only caution I have for factory exhaust is I broke something inside the 6.2 muffler that was on my truck. Would rattle bad between like 2300-2600. Ive since moved to a magnaflow 12909 and its much quieter, and nothing in it can break

So thats my word of caution, dont break the factory muffler baffles

I looked into it. I'm not interested in spending $200 on a muffler. Thanks for the input though. Looks like i'm in search of an old OEM piece.

Dont blame you at all. My RCSB has a factory 3in 2500 muffler for when the cutout is closed. Blower sounds awesome with silent exhaust.

If I had a bigger pulley on my blower to slow it down with less boost, it wouldn't be so noticable during regular driving. It would only sound like a siren at large throttle openings. But as it is, I have to listen to it always. It sounds like a bad power steering pump around town.
I wish I had a bigger blower so I could slow it down and not have to hear it (and get more boost).

I'm happy with my stock muffler, but always hearing the blower can be annoying.

you still have the A2A setup? I remember back when I had the Kenne bell with the A2A it was obnoxious.
