Default Exhaust idea, warning: poorly drawn

The first thing i do to my truck will most likely be exhaust, but i'm a little tired of the stock 1 tip, the duck footed 2 exit, and i want it a little more noticable than a dump.

I really like the look the Gibson Supertruck exhaust has, so i came up with this.



I want to use chrome Z28 tips because the clearance is great for a mount like that, but my question is, will this setup drone like crazy given where the tips are in relation to the cab? Should i try to do duals all the way out the back, or just stick with a muffler dump and/or a turndown?

Thanks for your opinions!

I dont know how the drone will be, but I doubt you'll find a shop that can do it with out moving your gas tank. It resides right behind the driverside of the cab and runs just about to the back tire.

You could run duals out the back but right next to each other not split up on each side of the hitch. Its different, i saw a truck setup like that with rolled edge tips and it didn't look to bad

ok i haven't been under there yet or much less seen the underside of a silverado yet, so thanks for the heads up!

Before that idea i was thinking of this:



A setup like the supertruck, but with a better 3" in 2.5" out muffler.
Only problem i have with this is that beyond 1 chamber bullets, i don't know much about mufflers. I was thinking something like a Hooker Maximum flow, which is somewhat straight-through. I want the sound to be loud and mean, but to not drive me crazy at cruising speeds.

There's a guy over at SilveradoSS.com named Autoguy who has a set-up similar to your second drawing...it's the SS duals into dual round Magnaflows, dumping out the pass side with the Gibson supertruck style tips...it looks pretty cool.

That's cool thanks i'll try to look him up.

Do you guys think that with a side exit the z28 tips won't look as good as the taller gibson rectangles?

I think the round staggered look would look better. That is, coming out like your 2nd drawing, but angle them down just a little and also angle them coming out more towards the rear tire. That will take out some of that 90* bend coming out of the muffler.
