Tyler23 Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 i would just run it straight back from the cats. give it a screaming kackle when you hammer down on it but were you still to cruse around with it not kackling constently. just when you get on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 The factory ones, because they are quiet and last along time. But thats probably not the answer you were looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnutz Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The factory ones, because they are quiet and last along time. But thats probably not the answer you were looking for X2 or why not just rip it all off and run straight pipes as long as you're willing to ruin a good exhaust system.

fish with teeth Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 had duels on a 96 1/2 ton short box regular cab chevy, straight pipes from the cats back to 45 deg 3" tips and it was loud and crackled very nice. i was young (19) and it was great unless you were trying to be stealthy, but on long trips it got kinda annoying listening to the loud rumble the whole way. oh yeah and i got pulled over plenty of times for them being to loud. just some stuff to think about.

Macgyver55 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 How old are you? I don't think age really is the issue. It sounds to me as if Halfnutz is giving some sarcastic , but very GOOD advice in not ruining a very high quality stock exhaust system. An after market system will surely fail long before the original would have. If there were real measureable performance and/or mileage gains to offset the cost it may be worth it, but realisticly it usually doesn't. Just adding "noise" will often result in more "pain" than "gain". Just to qualify my opinion...I'm old.... I have a hotrod...its loud....its gotten me in trouble!

Whoaru99 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I'd don't mind a mellow, throaty rumble a little bit louder than stock, but some of these things passed off as "mufflers" are a joke. They're way too loud (read annoying) for street use/daily driving.On my old 94 pickup, I replaced the stock muffler with a Dynomax something or another. It's got a decent tone, just a touch louder than the stock one was.If you're looking for a real bark though, that one's not for you. I just implore to you to not make it too loud. It does get annoying after a while, not just for you but others around you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
