How does it do on metal? Steel or muffler pipe in general

I don't know but I found this to be difficult to use on bushes; the reason I bought it. The only thing I found it good for was cutting boxes to flatten them. It takes (at least me) two hands to run it and was not at all good for what I bought it for.

I think it's 2008 and newer. Look at your pipes and you will see something on top that looks like a lever. Or if you rev it up it will sound different when you get to 3500 /4000 rpm. If it sounds the same all the way threw then it won't work. If this is the case, pay a little more (roughly $100) and have a muffler shop cut the mufflers off. It has the same aggressive but not to aggressive sound or effect. If you decide it is to loud for some wild reason then it IS reversible (for roughly another $100

Magnaflows sound good on a V8 too! In my experience, on a true-dual exhaust setup, they are a little quieter and more mellow sounding than a Flowmaster 2 chamber or a Thrush glasspack. They are fairly quiet at idle but they have a nice throaty sound under hard acceleration or revving. These are the 2.25" I/O mufflers. 2.25" was used on lots of V8 cars & trucks from the 60's, 70's, & 80's, but newer cars equipped with v8's are now coming standard with 2.5" or 3" dia. exhaust and thats probably why most of the reviews on this particular mufflers are from people who have installed them on 4 or 6 cyl. vehicles that use 2.25" exhaust. Search youtube for your particular V8 application with these mufflers to get a better idea on how they actually sound on your vehicle.

I have mine on a Can-Am ATV and am not sure how hot the exhaust gets, but I have it real close to the pipe. Only thing about mine is that we ride in deep water and some of my shield is coming loose. I do think it's an excellent product though.

I think there is a little better clearance than the stock muffler, but for even more clearance you can remove the two tips with a simple loosening of the clamp bolt when you are in the field getting ready to crawl. I like this exhaust because I can hear RPMs, motor laboring and tone which I prefer over no sound at all. It's sound is another input to how I handle the Jeep. I used this sensory input when I use to road race vintage cars. The exhaust tone will deepen somewhat after about 3 or 4 months use. It's not for everyone, but I like to hear my Jeep exhaust, adds some more fun to the driving experience. Good Luck.

Well , the heat does effect even the plastic but in the cold it gave such a boost , i raced mustangs 2013 v6 with mods and i won with just the CAI and flowmaster mufflers , so u wouldnt race in the day because the air density is lighter than the air at night . I would go with the aluminim.

No, it does not affect the sound at all. The quality,fit and heavy gauge of the metal is very good. Because of this, you may want to invest in a stainless steel tail pipe clamp from your auto supply shop to guarantee a secure fit.

Well, I don't have engineering answers for YA. I can say that a couple days ago, I changed out a rusty muffler on a Honda gx390 motor and used it to break free the rusted nuts ( and don't forget how the rust and heat affect the nuts) with no problems at all, the impacting action made it a breeze. When screwing 3inch deck screws, if you wanted to, you could drive them completely through the 5/4 board of not paying attention. Also, we predrilled holes for 10 inch square bolts to secure deck to 8" posts, put a 3/4 bit on the nut and it counter sunk the nut flush with the board and I stopped, no idea how far it would have gone... For my use as a professional that does many different kinds of jobs- it has plenty. Hope the info helps

I have this muffler on a 2014 5.3L vortec crew cab with pipes coming out in front of the axle on the right side but I also have sound mat all throughout my truck so I don't get any of that annoying drone sound or even road noise, however I did have this same muffler on another 5.3L vortec lowered extended cab with turn downs underneath it and no sound mat and there really wasn't any of that reverberating sound like any of the other big exhaust companies mufflers and I've had them all. Borla really makes a different kind of exhaust note, that's why I keep going back to them.

hello, this product takes rust off any metal, but we also use flitz on motorcycle exhaust pipes. we have also used simichrome to get the bluing off of the chrome.

Have had mine on for a year and no rust yet, and has seen a lot of salt in that time. Luv the sound and not too loud for a 6 w K&N; cold air intake, blacked out and dual pipes look great, easy install and perfect fit for my Rubicon X too, I get compliments all the time

I've never use it on metal. I bought this unit specifically to weld aluminum. I've never weld any thing before (metal or else). But I was able to weld very thin aluminum (1/8" and 1/16") aluminum. The chart settings are a bit off but with couple of minutes try and error, it works. I would choose one with many settings vs capped ones. Like I said above, it makes me almost a pro instantly.
