After tons and tons of research/shopping, i am the proud new owner of an 06 ext cab 5.3L. Im definitely on a huge budget (now that i spent 26.5k) so im not wanting to buy a full exhaust set up, but i would like a nice deep tone without any cab drone. can i get this from just simply swapping out/bolting on an aftermarket muffler? I'm assuming so, so what kinda of tones do each produce (in your experience...again..5.3L). I would like loud and deep but i dont want a drone when im just cruising.
thanks

 

Save your money and get a Corsa system. Go to the Corsa website for your muffler model number and check eBay on a daily basis for a Corsa system.

Good luck!

 

i see thats what you have, but i have a 5.3L...i have you heard it on a truck like mine before?

 

I have a Borla and it sounds great behind the truck with no resonance inside at all.

You are going to have to listen to a lot of trucks in your area and decide which sounds best to you.

 

but am i able to get what i want with ONLY a muffler swap?

 

"but am i able to get what i want with ONLY a muffler swap?"

Yes, search for my post on my new muffler on this forum.
I have Tahoe, but I think a SUV body would be even more senitive for drone that a pick up.

Buy a magnaflow muffler from summit for like 60 bucks and have your local shop put it in...

 

i read your post, what brand muffler is it? Will the part # be the same for me in the US?

 

That's the pricing im looking at. Would it just bolt right up with hangers or something? if so i could probably install myself. but if i need to change some piping then maybe not.

Anyone have just a magnaflow muffler? hows it sound?

 

"what brand muffler is it?"
I is a Swedish make,

Look at page 8 of 10, there you have the stainless 3" parts.
I bought the biggest oval muffler on that page. #U 32 76 00R

"Will the part # be the same for me in the US?"
Nope, they dont export as far as I know.

I am sure you can find something simmilar in the US.



As I said in my previus post, it is a glass pack/straight throug.
