Default New Colorado V8 exhaust pics and vids

I got my exhaust installed yesterday on my brand new truck.

It's the Aero Turbine AT3030XL. It was welded on in place of the original muffler, with 3" custom mandrel bent tailpipe and a 3.5" Magnaflow tip.
It was the first time the guy at the exhaust shop had ever put on that muffler, and had ever done a V8 Colorado. But I would think so. I have the first in my area.. if not the first in the state.

Original y-pipe.. and here you can see where each pipe coming off the headers is connected.


Stock muffler and tailpipe


Ok. How the new muffler was welded on.


Truck on the rack!


The outlet.



Here's some little videos. Not the greatest of quality, but it's a little idea. Maybe I'll make some new/better ones when it warms up and it's had some time to break in. I made a little one from inside the cab... it's hard to tell how loud it is. It's pretty quiet on the highway, but it roars pretty good at certain RPMs while accelerating.


And here's a good ol' start-idle-rev. It's brand new on a brand new truck. Less than 200 miles at the time.


...it's my girlfriend's grandma at the end of the video. Lol.
