Default floored performance and no sound

well i know it's gonna make noise but who makes a decent flowing muffler that has moderate to little exhaust noise whne under full throttle high rpm etc.

i've heard a gibson and a flowmaster in person they are fairly quiet but just dont flow enough.

That is correct. My setup is quieter than stock and there are no impediments to flow: straight-through performance.

Put two of the largest Magnaflows you can fit under your truck in series. Make one of them a 5 x 11 oval (if you can), and the other a 5 x 8 oval. If you can afford dual tailpipes, get the 5 x 11 as a single-in/dual-out, with 2.25" pipes instead of 2.5" for further noise reduction. Then you're in business.

Funny you should ask. At the shop where I had the mufflers welded in, the guy doing the welding waved me over, then he just stood there. I was thinking, "Yo buddy, why'd you call me over here, so we could just stand around looking stupid together?"

It was right around then that I noticed vapor emanating fromt the tailpipe. So I asked him, "Is it running?" He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yeah."

Couldn't even freaking hear it running at idle.

That looks like a sick setup, I only have the 5x11 oval, I don't know if I could fit another muffler under my short truck. magnaflow needs to make a bigger muffler.

I have a 4x9. I plan to add a 5x8, or 5x11 too if I can find the 5x11.

Default Quiet?

Damn guys.....I didn't know that everyone liked the trucks to be QUIET??!!
Nothing beats the sound of a good ol' SLP Loudmouth Muffler...or a Hooker Aero Chamber!

FloPro HD. Quiet until you get on it. Quiet on highway. No resonance or drone.
