Replacement Muffler
I have an 06 and want to just replace the muffler and use orginal pipe. Does anybody make one that will fit? Trying to keep the cost down for now but want some sound.

BTW...
The AT is about 1/2 the size of the oe muff and it will be pretty LOUD. My experience w/ the AT is that you'll enjoy it at first then you'll grow tired of the noise.

when I got my replacment pipe for $50 in lncluding the (2) end adapters I got:
*Improved gas mileage, from 19mpg on the HWY to about 22-23 (55-60mph)
and from about 15mpg on the CITY to about 18-19
*Actual BLACK smoke NOW
*KILLER SEMI-Truck SOUND
*A little extra performance gain and doesnt rob power like the STOCK muffler does.
Now getting rid of the CAT is a waste. All you're gaining is SOUND which that will eat up the internals of the CAT sooner or later

to each his own I guess, I just didnt like driveing a truck I couldnt even here running.......I have had the aero for 9 months and still love it. course its still way quieter than my 700 horsepower street car......LOL
it will bolt right up but throws the tailpipe angle off slightly.........im **** and welded up a nice dog leg to match the factory muffler offset. but thats just me

I bought the CTD to here the true sound of the diesel and want everybody else to know what's under my hood. But I don't want to spend a ton of money. Has anybody tried the AFE muffler? Looks real cheap!

as i said earlier, waste of money, i have tried the DPP route and Banks. you do not gain 2 to 3 mpg just by a muff swap. it is louder and a waste. yes it will reduce temps but i am suspect if even that is worth it.
