Overview
MagnaFlow’s 14641 is a 3 Inches by 3 Inches straight-through muffler in polished stainless steel, with a centered inlet and a centered outlet. The brand markets it as universal fit, so you should match the tube diameter and muffler position to your own exhaust rather than to a model year.
The body is 100% polished stainless steel with lap-joint welds. The core is perforated and runs straight through, surrounded by stainless mesh and acoustical fiber fill. The fill is packed densely, which is intended to keep the sound steady over the life of the muffler. A Lifetime Warranty applies to the unit.

Hanger placement and clearance
Hanger placement affects more than the sound. A muffler that hangs too low can scrape on speed bumps or rough driveways, while one that sits too close to a heat shield may cause rubbing. Set the can where it clears the floor pan, the axle and the rear bumper, then tighten the clamps only after the pipe run is aligned.
Centered connections give some flexibility in where the can can sit, which is useful on tight chassis. Use rubber isolators where the hanger meets the body to reduce vibration, and check them every few oil changes for cracking. Keep the can away from fuel lines and wiring, and replace any hanger that has stretched or torn.
- Test clearance over bumps before final tightening
- Replace cracked rubber isolators
- Keep heat away from wiring and lines

Vehicle fitment
The muffler is a universal fit design with no model years tied to it. Compare the 3 Inches tube diameter and centered positions with your exhaust before deciding.
Universal fit does not guarantee clearance under a given chassis, so check your underbody first. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Plan the hanger positions before tightening the clamps, since a centered muffler can sit in several places along the pipe run. Keep the can clear of fuel lines and wiring.
