I just recently installed a Magnaflow Cat Back exhaust (part #16630) on my 2008 Hummer H3 3.7L I5 with 116,000 miles. Most H3 Magnaflow videos I see are for the 5.3L V8 Alphas and from all the research I've done, there is definitely a difference in the sound between the two. Be mindful that this video was shot with my iPhone 11 and the sound really does not compare to what you would hear standing next to the car.
My thoughts after 200 miles:
I love the low growl that you get from the Magnaflow. It makes the I5 sound a lot more aggressive than the stock system. Really looks great behind the car, too. I'm not really sure I can feel a substantial difference in power or acceleration but each vehicle will be different. I already have the Air Doc intake and a performance tune from PCMofNC so the addition of the cat back exhaust might not be as extreme if I didn't have those. Overall, I am really happy that I finally did this mod after thinking about it for years.
There is a lot of discussion out there regarding "drone" and my recommendation would be to take each comment with a grain of salt. Drone is very much objective. Some don't mind the deep tone of the exhaust while others have trashed the entire system because of the change in sound while driving. Not really sure what some people were expecting when they made the switch or if they hoped adding a Magnaflow exhaust would make the H3 sound like a Tesla. It's definitely a deeper tone and I notice it more while driving at slower speeds around town than on the highway. I didn't want something that was going to be obnoxiously loud because my 1 year old son rides in the back on a daily basis. Some comments on the back seat noise level made me hesitant to pull the trigger but I just don't think it's that bad.
Hopefully this video helps someone get a better idea of what to expect when making the switch. I rely so much on videos like these and hummerforums.com when working on my H3 so I wanted to do my part to help someone else that might be wondering the same things as I was.

Thank you so much for this upload DJ... Definitely helped me in deciding to purchase this system... Yours sounds great! I don't mind a little "Drone", that's why I have Borla Stingers on my 'Vette... Thumbs up from me... Stay safe... Rico

not bad but could have sound much better. From my personal experience with my H3, you have to deleted the exhaust resonator and muffler and basically straight pipe the whole system. This will allow you to get the best sound out of those I5's.

Waste of $$$ my friend 😒 An inline 5 will never produce a great sounding exhaust, I know...I own an H3 😊 Only the Alpha model with the V8 can get it done! They never should have made these without a small block motor, way under powered for their weight and body style! Other than that...I do truly love my H3 though ❤❤❤

Wow...that's crazy. I was just telling someone the other day how much I love the MF. Been 4,000 miles since install and sounds great now that it's had time to break in a bit. Personally, I wouldn't describe the sound as a "drone" if that's what you meant. To me, it's more like a low growl but not even close to an obnoxious growl. I drive my 2 year old son to daycare every day and I've never seen/heard a complaint or issues with noise comfortability. For reference, my dad has an 07 Jeep Wrangler and a few years back he installed a Metal Mulisha cat-back system and that thing drones louder than most modded cars/trucks on the road. Drove it in June three hours from the beach to the airport and my ears were ringing by the time I got out. Had to keep it under 65 for most of the drive to lessen the noise as much as possible. The MF system, while double the price of the Metal Mulisha, is worth every penny more to avoid having to deal with that sound. If obnoxiously loud, especially inside the cabin, is what you want, definitely go with MM. But I can respect (most) everyone's opinion for sure! We all have a different definition of what "drone" is and how loud someone wants their exhaust and at what decibel level they start to feel uncomfortable, so there's never going to be a consensus on what sounds good and what doesn't. It's too bad that you don't like the Magnaflow, though. I can sympathize with buying something you think is going to be great, only to end up hating it in the end. Throw that puppy up on eBay and make a post on the hummerforums website letting people know it's for sale! I'm sure someone would love to grab a MF system at a discounted price. The resonator and muffler is really easy to replace on the H3 and you can get a brand new, much quieter system from Walker on Rockauto for less than $300.

Or it could be, you know, the pretty terrible audio quality that came from filming with my phone outdoors with no acoustic support whatsoever. Could also be that I captured the video shortly after installing the system, not allowing for the break-in period that takes approx. 500 miles. If your comment is strictly in reference to the sound being a "waste of $'s" then I 1000% disagree with you. If you think it's a waste because it's rather expensive at $900+ or because you don't think the performance gains/visual change to a dual, stainless steel exhaust are worth the cost, then I don't really have anything else to say. I don't have any specific dyno results to back up any performance upgrade claims, but it is a massive difference AND improvement in sound on the H3 whether you hear it from this video or not. Don't care what anyone says there. I've had this H3 since 2010 with the stock exhaust up until February 2022 and there is not a soul in this world that can convince me the stock resonator/muffler sound is better than the sound with this Magnaflow system.

@@DJH3 he’s wrong about waste of money, it’s not his money it’s yours, so you spend it however you see fit. And I’m not going to say it sounds bad, but I personally just don’t care for aftermarket exhaust on any truck with less than 8 cylinders. Take the ecoboost Raptor for example, sounds stupid.
