Just installed an AEM instake on my 07 LTZ. Ultimate is goal is better mpg but I do like the added power. I am fixing to purchase either a Magnaflow muffler (thinking 18") or Predator programmer. Which one will give the more noticable difference? I have read on here about the black bear tunes but really don't want to go that route. Thanks

Do you think the 18" wide magnaflow will be too loud? I don't want it to quiet to where you can't tell its there.

Why do you say the predator would be wasting my money?

Define too loud? I'd do some research on You Tube to determine. One person's too loud is another persons exhaust paradise :D

Because the money you'll spend on it with potential gains will not be worthwhile when compared to something like a black bear tune. You'll spend the same amount of money with them (or maybe even less) and the gains from the tune are significant.

BTW....welcome to the site man :Handshake:

i think there was a 18'' magnaflow for sale on here the other week. 18'' would probably be pretty damn loud. I just installed the common 22 '' (12589) MF muffler and it's perfect for what i was looking for.

BBP has a tune coming to a city near me. The previous owner removed the resonator. I am going to put a Mangaflow muffler with SLP dual pipes on soon, maybe myself? I've got 38k miles on her so far, would a BBP tune be worth the scrilla after adding these mods?

Just got back from visiting my local performance muffler shop (Dan Fast Muffler). They are a Magnaflow dealer, but were recommending a Flowmaster 70 series muffler. They said it works much better with the Energy Management engines on our 'hoes. Considering that they aren't a Flowmaster dealer, I have to think they know what they are talking about. Thoughts?
