Default new muffler on my vortec max

http://video.ls1tech.com/video/95aad...ac68f8116a.htm

i like it so far. its the magnaflow 12588, little loud in the cab but i'll see if it grows on me in the coming days.

dual 2.5" in, single 3" out in stock location.

I think it sounds great man, if the drone isn't too bad you'll get used to it.

thanks man. and i think im already getting used to it. contemplating maybe a dump right off the muffler or doing an exit infront of the rear tire.

Sounds good, hopefully there is no drone on the freeway. I think dumping it after the muffler is a good idea. It gives the truck a clean look in the back. I guess it all depends on how it sounds with the dump. Small rant...I never understood why people start their engines, do a couple revs, and then immediately shut off the engine. That's kinda rough on the engine, IMO.

ok, what are my options? would an x-pipe help? dumps after the muffler? maybe some kind of bullet muffler before the magnaflow muffler?

If you think its loud now dont take off the cats unlessy our going to put some bullets or something in front of it. I have dural 3" in single 4" out on my truck and its LOUD at WOT. It also has some drone. Im thinking about putting 2 bullets in line before it. either that or a dual 3" in dual 3" out magnaflow in line before it

I just installed a #12599 which is dual 3" in and dual 3" out. I got it dumped and sounds great. Just enough to give it a rumble.
