So my truck is finally getting fixed but to replace the factory exhaust which got smashed is not looking good, it is on national back order. So it would only make sense to get and aftermarket since they are available right? But first anyone know if adding that aftermarket exhaust voids any factory warranty? Then which sounds or looks better? By a show of hands. Thanks

Driving it violates the warranty, nowadays.
These should be your only troubles in life, choosing between Magnaflow and Borla for your aftermarket potato shooter.
I think Borla is overrated. The opinion is really based on any particular fact, but it just seems like it's too popular for what it does, and Magnaflow seems better. I don't know, that's just my primal instinct, I guess. I'd buy Magnaflow.

Thanks, I was leaning towards magnaflow to.It seems like the borla is more a import car sounding exhaust compared to the magnaflow anyway. I think i will have to go with the magna.

Doesnt the Magnaflow like a silent sounding when you take off the gas? jw, cuz on there site you can listen to the Jeep and it sounds really bad. Id go borla but thats me.

aight well the fact of the matter is that the magnaflow is hella tight soundin when u gun it and its got a nice sound at idle, the borla is alittle more obnoxious all the time but still has a great, deep tone...

I'll have some first hand experience with the Magnaflow for my 4.7L WK. It should arrive this week and can't wait to hear and see it!
I'll keep you posted.

Congrats. I think you will like it. I just hope you aren't expecting anything too loud, cause it's a throaty mellow sound. Still great and much better than stock. If you don't already have an CAI get one. I have the Airaid and the two sound great together.
If you are doing the install yourself, watch out for the hangers. They were a big pain in the @ss. Tough getting a few off and tough to deal with getting everything lined up right. However, overall still a highly recommended mod.

Not doing the install myself. Its getting put on after the truck is put back together from the shop. As for the sound thats sounds good i dont want anything to abnoxious, so throaty is good. Does the airraid give it a little more sound, also what happens to the gas mileage you think improve or go down, given driven normally, not beating on it?

Don't say that; you're going to romp on that thing for the first couple days after the exhaust. After all, you're simply "examining the powerband for improvements" (officer...). Hearing the real HEMI deep down roar to life will be exhilarating. I know there's a beast hidden under my V6's cladding... Hopefully some simple mods will bring that thing to life too.

This is true but, after i get done beating on it i wonder what the outcome will be mileage wise?
