I was wondering if someone could tell me an awesome exhaust combination for a 04, 5.3L. i want it to just be deep and sound really good i just sold my SS and im tired of really loud.. has anyone tried straight 3" pipe back to true duals with no cats????

 

I have no cats with long tubes and my magnaflow is not too overpowering at all. If you are tired of loud I'd leave the cats on

 

I strongly reccomend magnaflow!

 

Another vote for Magnaflow.

 

are you talking about just a single magnaflow.. or dual magnaflows with the cats on

 

I have a single muffler with dual in and dual out. It is 11" inches long, It has a good tone. Magnaflow is a true dual muffler the chambers are seperate and straight through.

 

OR you could go with Dual DynoMax Bullets and a magnaflow x-pipe with the cats. Mines not too much louder than the magnaflow mufflers which in my opinion are too quiet. But the bullets sound awesome @WOT,

 

this makes me feel better about my magnaflow catback i have commin in the mail .im getting the muffler they recomend. single in duel out

 

Check out this thread for a sound clip of mine...

i hope mine is a little louder since my kit will come with the shorter muffler and duel out the back tips. do you get much resination?
