Does anyone have a turn down tip ONLY with the stock muffler? Did it make it louder?
V8 guys

 

we cut the tail pipe of my buddies 02 z71 with 5.3...no dump just straight out the muffler...it was noticibly louder...didn't sound too bad...i did the same thing on my 2000 4.3 and was also noticibly louder

 

did it sound like it had a different muffler loud (rumble etc) or just air blowing loud?

 

i want to put a turn down but i want it to stay quiet.

 

a turn down would actually make it more quiet...i don't know how to describe the sound but it was noticibly louder...just go ahead and cut it off and see what you think...if nothing else it looks a helluva lot better

 

I might do it, if anything i could aways get high flow cats, im running pacesetter LT's with ORYpipe and stock muffler

 

I wouldn't think a turn down would make it quiet.. I would expect it to make it louder as you get the rumble off the ground effect.

I don't got a stock muffler but I have two turn downs that dump right behind my bumper. I don't like how tail pipes look so you know..

 

If you want to make it really simple just do this...




I just cut the tail pipe off. Right before the last bend, You cant see it from any angle from the rear. It only took me a few seconds with a Sawzall....

 

well another reason is that the bend is bumping the rear end cause of the drop. i might just get the turn down welded on.
