As mentioned in another thread, I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread with all the pics of the various exhaust setups, custom or off the shelf that everyone has. If the mods wanted to make it a sticky, that would be cool, but if not, it would at least be easily reachable through a search.

I'll go ahead and start, even yough mine is probably the most simple.

The question has been asked many times, but I've never seen pics of a direct replacement muffler put in place of the stocker using the stock pipes. I used the Magnaflow 14589 5x11 oval 3" center/offset. As you can see, the welder made up the gap between the 3" inlet/outlet and the 2.75" tailpipes with no problem. He was even able to retain the stock hangars without adding any additional pipe. for $150 total installed, I'd say definitely take your muffler of choice and do this as opposed to a full catback.

It sounds just like I wanted, near to stock when cruising, with a nice bark at higher rpm's, no drone at all.

 

Good idea. How about some sound clips along with the pictures. I would add something but my exhaust is still stock.

 

here are diff setups i've had on my fullsize since 05

single side exit 4"x24" tip custom 3" tubing



gibson supertruck exhaust kit




dynatech long tube headers

dynatech headers and y-pipe


the day i bought it redneck tips (one pipe rusted off the first week i had it was flopping all over)



i ran a dump for a long time no pics tho

and i also dont have current pics of my magnaflow setup i made

Here's one with 3" pipe and some mandrel bends going into a square tip, personally I think it sounds great mild sound while crusing and it comes alive when you step on it, minimal interior drone. It sounds better than the old flowmaster 50 series that was on it, but that was just tempoary.

 

 

heres my dual 3'' i made in about 45 mins.. with my home made mufflers i made a while back..on the inside it is 3 inch pipe with holes drilled all around welded inside 4 inch pipe..ill get some sound clips tomorrow..all welded with a little cheesey CHEEZY flux core wire welder..it does the job

 

This is my setup for now...

 

Mufflers are 18" glasspacks and the tips are Chrome 4"x22"

 

nice lookin setups...

 

I'm used to the obs truck exhaust. I was wondering about the truck that i have. I got under it this past weekend to change the oil and forgot to check how many O2 sensors that it had. It is a 2000 chevy silverado 5.3. I want to run the pacesetter LT headers with their offroad y pipe, but I was wondering if the stock exhaust setup has o2 sensors in the stock cats? Any info would be appreciated, since its been too cold here to get out and check under the truck for myself.
