First of all, yes I did search and didn't find the info I was looking for.

I am replacing the muffler on my 08 tahoe and am not sure which muffler to get from magnaflow. I know that the 12589 (5x11 oval 22") is a very popular option but I am worried that it will be too quiet. I am looking for something similar in sound to the Corsa Sport exhaust. Has anyone run either the 11229 (4x9 oval 14") or the 11259 (4x9 oval 18")?

Any input would be appreciated on the options.

Thanks,
Dan

I have the 12589 and like the sound. It's quiet when stopped and loud when you get on it. If you want it louder you can delete the resinator. Not sure how the other models sound.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is the factory exhaust 3"? I was gonna order the 12589 for my wife's Tahoe but didn't know the factory exhaust pipe size.

I have dual w/ 2 #11225s. Yes sounds like Ryan said, but if you hear my truck go by it has this kind of "muffeled cough" sound. Not good & don't know why is sounds like this?

this is true. I was shown when it was up in the air. I was gonna get a full system, but the guy who did this for me was Why? Its already 3' piping. Why pay for piping you already have? Its a lot cheaper to cut out the muffler and resonator.

Nice, that sound good. Making me think about just doing that instead of dropping the coin on Corsa

I paid like 250 or something like that for parts and labor.
