Junior,



You have two totally different type of products when you compare the MBRP 304 stainless to the Magnaflow systems that are made of either 409 or 436 stainless. 304 is much more expensive but it it the last system you'll ever buy for the truck, it will outlast you and me as well. If you are comparing to the 409 Magnaflow, with it you will get a 3. 5 inch down pipe, the Cummins responds better to a 4. 0 down pipe, they build it with a 2 piece tail pipe which means the clamp joint will show from the rear with your 4x4 truck. Thats a individual preference thing as far as looks goes but most folks prefer to not see any clamps, plus if the clamp ever corrodes and fails the tail pipe is free to slip out of place. The MBRP is a one piece tail pipe just like the OEM's use, and comes with a 4. 0 down pipe and 100% welded hangers that use the factory mounting hangers, the welded hangers are also made out of 304 stainless on all stainless systems no matter if they are 409 or 304 stainless systems. Now the 304 MBRP is the same exact system just made out of 304 through out the entire system. I just wanted you to know that there is a pretty big price differential between the 304 and 409 systems, so that you can compare apples to apples. The 436 Maganflow system is somewhere in between as far as quality of stainless materials.

Mark's right on. All "stainless" is NOT created equal. 304 is MUCH more expensive-- it's the "real deal"-- you can take that to the BANK$. There are posts on here of other so called "stainless" systems rusting within a few weeks!



I'd say either pony up for 304 or stick with aluminized.

Magnaflow doesn't make a system for a quad cab, short bed.



It doesn't say in your signature whether you have a short or long, but let me tell you from experience, don't by the magnaflow if you have a short bed.

Junior,



If you are looking for something a little more cost effective than the 304 system, look at the MBRP 409 system. The system has the same great fit, the MBRP muffler which my customers LOVE, and when you figure in clamps & accessories, is not priced much higher than the aluminized system. Otherwise, spin the wheel & go for the MBRP 304 system. TOP SHELF!

Junior,

I have the Magnaflow system on my truck, and I am very happy with it. It is a quality system with a great deep tone. I was also quite pleased that I do not have any issues with "drone".

I am sure I could have purchased a cheaper system, but I got a great quality product that sounds good, looks great, and bolted in reasonable easily.



Fourwhls,

My truck is a 2001 Quad Cab Shortbed ETH DEE. I installed my Magnaflow system myself, and it bolted right in... How could your experience be so different than mine?

I got the MBRP duals on mine. Sounds great. I would do it again, if I had to set up another truck. Not much louder than stock at normal cruising levels, but when you put your foot down, it roars.

Guys thanks for the info, I will probably be ordering the 304 mbrp this week. I will let you know how install goes

Which one did you get???

I am looking at the MBRP vs the ANSA Silverline. Junior what did you end up getting inquiring minds what to know! Ken Irwin

Two thumbs up for the MBRP/DPPI system. I have the T-409, but it's really more accurate to say it's a hybrid of 409 and 304 stainless. The pipes are 409, but the tips, muffler, and hangers are all 304.

Hey guys,

Went with the 304 MBRP DPP, Ordered it last Wed. and got it on Thursday. Open the box and it was like Christmas all over again. This system looks awesome and i only hope it sounds as cool as it looks. Well finally got it insatlled last night. The installation took about 2. 5 hours, i took my time and did not rush anything. The hardest thing is removing the old system. Anyway after installation went for a test ride and the thing is AWESOME. At cruising speed you don't notice you have it, but as soon as you get on the throttle is rumbles and comes to life. Definelty here the turbo spool up a lot more than before.

Overall i am happy i went with them. Did not go with Silverline because they got back to me to late( after i ordered MBRP)and did not know many people that had it. Quality and fit is definetly there on this system, and if i had the cash would have went with the dual exhaust but could not afford it. A bit pricey, Need tires soon. Hope this helps if you guys have any question don't be afraid to write me and to all the others thanks for the help.
