Exhaust system whores in here...

Ben, the single 3inch magnaflow muffler is the best sounding one in my opinion for what your looking for. I had the 30in muffler, well the casing is 22in but the entire muffler is like 28 or 30inches. It was a single in/out but the offset one. It went from on side to the other not center to offset.
Anyways... H/C 5.3 with 1 3/4 LTs 3in ypipe straight to the muffler, i even had it dumped. It was the best sounding muffler i ever heard. I wanted it super quiet because i had a cutout for when i wanted it loud. There was NO drone on the highway and it sounded great when i went WOT but it was still tolerably quiet. I sold the truck before i was able to finish running the exhaust to stock location but i bet it would be exactly what you're looking for!

Yeah, those tips are nice
but tucked up more would be better. Im actually partial to just a correctly cut raw piece of aluminized pipe barely visible. Mainly because it would be easier to keep clean lol

I have been through way too many exhaust setups. Hell my f'n hand is burnt right now from torching the hanger and pipes off exhaust. They are all too loud now. I am getting old. I wish my truck was as smooth and quiet as a Lexus ls400.

definite good suggestions in this thread
like I said, I'll most likely be doing some sort of resonator/bullet at the collectors, two large mufflers before the axle, and two after the axle like Evil has there, I like his exhaust exit as well
I'm glad to know there's plenty of room back there to do that.
I'll post up some good pics and some sounds clips after this **** is in and running.

If your using those tsp 1 7/8 headers i dont think there is enough room. On the truck i saw them on it is pretty tight as is. When and if i swap to the tsp headers i was thinking of notching the tranny crossmember and running them under it.

I'll have to see I guess. I am going to throw a set of Pacesetters on it to get it running and to start tuning on it. Then swap headers later when funds/time allow. Ill try to adapt the exhaust however I need to when that time comes i guess. If I have to lose te resonators at that point I'll just have to move them farther back maybe.. Just have to see what kind of room where we are looking at when we get in there.
