Description
5″ Diesel Exhaust Muffler (Universal, T409 Stainless Steel)
This 5 inch diesel muffler is designed for high-flow trucks running full 5″ exhaust systems where sound control is needed without restricting performance. Unlike restrictive designs, this 5″ muffler keeps a straight-through core, allowing exhaust gases to pass freely while taking the edge off aggressive tone.
If you need a 5 inch muffler for diesel applications that won’t choke a large-diameter system, this unit maintains full flow while improving overall sound quality.
What This Muffler Does
A 5 inch muffler helps reduce drone and sharp exhaust note on open systems, especially on trucks running delete pipes or full aftermarket exhaust. It smooths out the tone under load and highway cruising without introducing backpressure.

Completely satisfied.
The Optimal Flow 5-inch muffler arrived quickly and looks well made. It seems like a good balance to keep noise reasonable when towing. Planning to pick up the remaining components soon.
I should have ordered the optimal flow muffler from the start. After a couple weeks, cab drone was unbearable. Once installed, the drone disappeared while keeping the deep exhaust tone.
The muffler fit perfectly and delivered exactly the sound level I was looking for.
