I went with Magnaflow.....

I can confirm that offset / offset is the configuration that works best if reusing your stock piping.

Perfect, that's all I needed to know! Just ordered the offset/offset Magnaflow.

You chose wisely

Tag @tehschkott when someone who has done the Magnaflow muffler swap and has MPG data. I am sure he will be interested.

I'm thinking many of us will.

I replaced my muffler an kept the rest of the factory exhaust. The cat back systems are so expensive I might call a local shop that' known for doing good work at a air price an seeing what they'd charge to install a 3" cat back with them making the pipe.

I got charged around a hundred bucks because they couldn't use the stock hangers on the new one an charged me for new hangers.

I'm actually looking at a Borla universal due to the 304 stainless steel material... since my Ranger is used in the winter...

I'm going with the "notched" version and will be installing in my driveway when it finally warms up here....

Can some one give me the OE muffler dimensions... Want to verify how much of the OE piping/tubing will clamp to this 19-inch Borla muffler so I can determine which clamps to use.

19-inch length offset Borla muffler > BORLA ProXS Muffler 400484 Notch 19-inch

Quick reference on the difference between 304 & 409 stainless steel...

Alright, after reading all the threads/replies and asking my own questions and getting great answers I finally made an exhaust decision. I had my local muffler shop replace the OEM FoMoCo muffler with a Magnaflow Staight Through Performance Muffler. Part # if interested: https://www.magnaflow.com/products/...eroffset-straight-through-performance-muffler Left the resonator, cats, etc. in stock form.

My takes:
1. Sounds nice - very similar to the Flowmaster mentioned in thread: https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/flowmaster-flowfx-cat-back-exhaust-system.4733/
2. I noticed a faster spool Immediately
3. Cost effective - Part is ~100.00 + Labor
4. No drone and minimal change to interior noise while cruising
5. Nice purr at idle
6. Nice growl at WOT
7. I can hear my turbo!

I also painted from the resonator back to match the bolt-on black tip.

I know this is bringing this thread back from the dead, but can you specify which part # this was? The link is no longer good ?

Perhaps this one . . .

https://www.magnaflow.com/products/...gh-performance-muffler?variant=18434141126771

Same 11226 part number with a different URL ? ?‍

That looks like the right one, except under the specifications it lists a center/offset configuration rather than the preferred offset/offset.

OP's original link URL contains the word "centeroffset", yet his pic is offset/offset.

Thought I'd add to the list here. Will post videos later. Had the 18" long version of this Magnaflow mounted up today. Has a very low, deep sound but is not flashy. Unless you're in the pedal you don't really notice it.

The turbo spools much faster with the straight-through design of the new muffler. Had the tailpipe cut at the resonator and it dumps downward and out under the truck, eliminating the chance I smash it on some rocks.

Cold start & warm up:

I added the Borla today. Ordered both, Magnaflow was a little bigger and a little heavier. Guess I went with Borla just due to the stainless difference. They both look nice.
high idle you can definitely hear it. At normal idle you can’t. Haven’t driven it around town yet.
that stock muffler is huge and heavy ??.
installed just like stock, clamped the front and welded the rear.

could they not use clamps to attach it rather than welding it?

I just crawled under and looked for the fun of it. You would need at least 3 clamps. Maybe 4 to get it to work. But that does not include the exhaust hangers that need welded back on.

Any reason you went with 18” and not the 14”?
