Product Details

Dynomax Super Turbo Universal mufflers are engineered around a combination-style muffler design that balances exhaust flow and sound control. The internal flow director and large flow tubes are intended to improve exhaust movement through the system, while the fiberglass matting helps manage cabin noise without eliminating the performance character of the exhaust. This makes the Dynomax 17698 a practical choice for drivers upgrading a single-exhaust setup on vehicles such as the Dodge Dakota, Chevrolet C1500, and GMC K1500.

The muffler measures 24 inches overall with an 18-inch body length and 8.375-inch body width and height. It uses a single offset inlet configuration and a single outlet, both sized at 3 inches inside diameter. The aluminized finish adds corrosion resistance for everyday exhaust service, and the reversible layout gives installers more flexibility when routing the system.

What This Muffler Helps Address

• Excessive exhaust restriction in a single-exhaust system
• Harsh or overly loud exhaust tone
• Interior resonance from a straight-through or worn muffler
• Reduced exhaust flow caused by an aging factory muffler
• Fitment needs for a 3-inch universal performance muffler
