MBRP or Magnaflow?

[Combine Pilot]

Lookin for a 4" down pipe back exhaust system for an '06 LBZ. It seems like i can get a stainless Magnaflow system for about the same price as an aluminized MBRP system. Is Magnaflow diesel exhaust any good and what kind of sound do they have compared to the MBRP system?

Love the sound of my Magnaflow 5" but the pos has cracked in 3 places now... I will probably not buy another.

i love my MBRP 5" system! when i go through campus i can turn heads real easy and install is easy

I had a 5" MBRP on my ccsb, it sounded great and was pretty cheap. I would buy from them again. Hard to imagine an SS 4" being same as an aluminized one. Weird.

Another vote for MBRP. I have the aluminized 4" downpipe back with no muffler. I think it sounds good.

I have never had a problem with either of these brands. I use to install up to 10 Magnaflow kits a week and they always went together perfectly. Now I use MBRP on everyones trucks. The kits are cheap and install fairly easy.

Your good to go either way. But I would go with a stainless Magnaflow if you can get it for around $350. Both kits sound better without the muffler and a 3" downpipe.

Both are great, I wouldn't hesitate going with a Magnaflow. I run one on my truck and have had great luck.

I noticed that the Magnaflow is a two piece tailpipe vs. the one piece in the MBRP kit i was looking at. Is it really a bad thing or is it just a little harder to get things lined up right?

I like the Magna Flow sound. It is just different than the others.

I have Magnaflow on my 06 Suburban and the MBRP on the pickup. I like them both.

I have the 5" magnaflow on mine. Love the sound. My pipe has cracked next to the back hanger. I like the two piece tail pipe because you can take it off if you want it to dump behind the axle.:2cents:

So are they both about as loud or is one louder than the other? I've heard the MBRP but never heard the Magnaflow system.

idk about the magna flow but my MBRP 5" is pretty loud if ur around the bed but all you hear in the cab is some turbo whistle

Where are you getting a $1000 exhaust for $350?

That is where mine cracked as well, also has a crack in the center section where the spring hanger welds on. Not enough support from the hanger where they weld it to the pipe. I extended the hanger around to the bottom of my pipe to give some extra support.

The roads are quite a bit rougher than the lower 48. Probably explains mine cracking out.

The MBRP is a little louder imop.

Well i ordered a Magnaflow 4" system today and it was $340 shipped plus tax from Ontario. So no duty or brokerage. :thumb:

Don't want to have anyone get mad. :villagers:

So which system do you find to be louder?
