Yes it usually is and it kills the drone on the highway.

 

The funny thing is the picture of the #15333 with the resonator is from the Magnaflow website, and the other is from Amazon. Which one would you get?

 

MagnaFlow website says the resonator is included. I would call MagnaFlow to clarify which is which. If it is the family vehicle I would use the resonator, if it's a work/play truck then leave it off. It's a totally personal choice.

 

-----------------------------------------

:exactly:...You probably won't drive it hard enough to notice any performance differences with the resonator on...just depends on what your ears like :coolsmiley:.



:dance:

I sent a message to Magnaflow asking them about the two versions, I'm just waiting for their response. I think I would prefer the version without the resonator.

I'll be driving Big Red hard when I pull my 36 foot travel trailer this summer.

If your pulling a camper I would recommend the resonator the drone on the hwy will get to you. My son just put on a system on his 2010 without the resonator and he just put it back on a week later he couldn't take the drone and to me it sounds better with it.

 

Also check your local muffler shops they can do systems. I had mine done at Rods muffler in Union Missouri by me for 400 with tips lifetime warranty being a magnaflow system

 

You make a good point boedacres! I like a good growl, but I think a constant drone would drive me crazy, not to mention my wife! Thanks, you may have saved a few headaches. :facepalm:

 

I used this kit and the drone sucks! Thinking of going back to stock or possibly custom as highway drone is horrible. The sounds when getting on it is great, but drone at highway speeds is terrible.

kayakersteve, are you saying the Mufflex sucks, or the Magnaflow?

 

See if CORSA exhaust has anything that you can adapt - they are very high quality products and have been known to solve problems with their 'noise cancellation technology' without sacrificing performance :coolsmiley:.

 

Corsa doesn't make a system for a 3/4 ton Ram.

 

Thanks, I'll look into that.

 

Big Red - The mufflex kit fits well and I love the sound of the magnaflow muffler - I now have a very loud drone, however, in the 1750-2000 rpm range. I think I'll fab up a 3" resonator tube to see if I can resolve the drone. From what I have read, I will need a 28" tube to attempt to correct for the drone.....we'll see!

 

I'm worried about the loud drone, especially when I'm pulling my camper down the highway. I'm hesitant about getting one now :sad:

 

When I first installed the kit, I just kind of dealt with the drone, but now after 4 months, it gets to me within a few minutes (headache and irritated). Its a deep sound that vibrates to the core. I'll post if my resonator tube fixes it. Hope to fab up this weekend.

 

HemiFun05, I'm new to this forum but I've been here long enough to know you know what you're talking about. Thanks for your input on this topic! I messaged Corsa about my truck to see if they are in development of a system for my '16 Ram 2500 6.4 Hemi, since they don't offer anything on their website. I like that they say their products have no drone during cruise, but I don't know enough to engineer and fabricate a system myself, so I'll see what they have to say.

 

------------------------------
Again :GoodLuck1: - It is often a trial and error research effort to find the components that are acceptably quiet within your operating RPM range. I believe every system has some drone / harmonics as it passes through the RPM range - the key is to move it out of the annoyance range with your fabrication of components. :thumb:

 

Good luck!!

 

Like you said, a little drone is to be expected at a certain RPM, I just don't want it to drive me and especially my wife crazy when we are on the highway.

Update on Megnaflow: They emailed me back and said Part #15333 only comes with the resonator even though Amazon shows it without one.

 

It is universally hard to go very far wrong with MagnaFlow products - just find what fits your needs and your wife's ears .
