Jfuller...I have magnaflow SI/SO on my truck with a 4in tip(3in mandrel bent tail pipe). On the magnaflow website it is comperable to kit 16612. This is my third truck with exhaust(the first two had flowmaster SI/DO's) and I can tell you this setup is way quieter. At highway speeds you have to turn the radio off to even hear it, but when you throttle it it wakes up. It's a good setup.

jfuller...Honestly I haven't had the gryphon long so it's hard to say about gas mileage. The only time I have driven outside the city with it to get a good gas mileage reading I was pulling my boat. However I did get noticeably better gas mileage pulling my boat around 15.5 on a 300 mile trip. Normally I would only get about 13.5. I'm not a pedal to the metal type of person, I'm more into 40 -70 power and I can definately say that with magnaflow exhaust + gryphon + k&n dropin= great highway and around town power over stock. You won't be disappointed that's for sure. Maybe tomorrow I can take some pics of the exhaust setup and put them in my album if you're interested.

I know when I first cut my rear cats out I mentioned that I thought my truck was actually quieter? It's not, lol. Wife B****ED all the way to Tennessee and back!

I'm not psychic :crystal: or anything. I know this because I'm the one that gets those phone calls every day asking what we recommend. There are some standard things that Bill likes -- one of them being the Magnaflow SIDO exhaust.
....that's what I got. Even after having for a 14 months, it still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. It may not be the absolute loudest but it's sound is intoxicating.

Default Recommendations for Magnaflow

Bill,

I know what I've read, but what do you recommend best for HP & MPG in the Magnaflow line SI/SO or SI/DO on a 5.4L and should I run a 14" or 18" if running the SI/DO if you recommend the SI/SO, what 14" or 18". The only upgrade I have presently is K&N cai and it will be some time before I do anymore . It's my daily driver and my commute is 36mi round trip, do love the HP but would also like to keep or gain the MPG . Last, but not least, will be upgrading my Edge Evo to Gryphon with 87 Perf. custom tune after all I've read on this great forum thanks to everyone for the info, I've learned alot.
