Need suggestions for Magnaflow Muffler and Tip
I have a 2011 Tahoe LT 5.3 with a 22" chrome chevy wheel package. I have done everything that I want to the vehicle except I am missing a nice deep exhaust sound. I think I am going to go with the Magnaflow #12589 for a nice deep sound. I am trying to minimize drone so I think I am making the correct choice?
As far as a tip goes, I like the look of Magnaflow #35206. Any suggestions other Magnaflow tips that may look good with this setup?
Thanks for your help and suggestions!

I find that the Magnaflow is much better than the Flowmaster for drone, but it still drones. It is your call if this is the type of sound you are looking for. It can get tiring if you use your truck on the highway a lot. If you are mostly city driving, it isn't too bad.
The tip you chose looks nice. You also have the option of going with the GM exhaust tip. Part # 19156356. It is a pretty easy install if you are looking to improve the look of the stock exhaust pipe.
Good luck with your install.

Thanks for the info!! I usually am driving on the highway for 20-30 minutes at a time. Regarding the drone..I usually have the radio on when driving, will I still be affected by the drone? Thanks!

You may want to try and find someone with the exhaust system you are looking at and see if you can take a ride with them. Your local muffler shop should be able to help you out. I would hate to see you add the Magnaflows and not like them, due to the drone. I have flowmasters on my Camaro and even with lots of sound insulation in the car, there is lots of drone. On the Camaro, it is ok, as it is more of toy, but for a daily driver, you may find it gets tiring really fast.
The appearance change with the addition of the stainless exhaust tip may be all you need to make the improvement you want.

I cant seem to find the answer anywhere here and the live chat on the chevy website didn't help. Does somebody know the stock exhaust diameter on 2014 suburban? i'm trying to order a black exhaust tip before taking delivery of the truck on friday. thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
Check out the SLP dual tip resonator eliminator. Sounds good and gets rid of that ugly resonator.
I'm not at my desk but I believe the diameter is 2.75" if they haven't changed it. Can you check one out at a dealer?

i called the dealer yesterday and they told me it measured to 2 5/8 which is such a random size that none of the third party tips i have looked at will fit without some additional modification. maybe i should just upgrade the entire exhaust.
