Guys im wanting to add a bada** sounding exhaust on my truck and im kind've on a budget so I found this exhaust by flowmaster http://www.autoanything.com/exhausts...0A2491723.aspx and was wondering if any of you have this on your truck and if so could you post up some pics. I like the look of the duel outlet coming out one side and would like to see how this would look on a Silverado. Also does this come out behind the back tires or in front of them? And if you do have this system how do you like it and/or if you had to do it over again would you get a different one and why. Thanks.

I've had this exhaust setup on my truck for about 8 months now. I like it alot, and it is definitely louder than the one I had previously, which had dual out the back. It was a little easier to install than one that goes over the axle, but due to the awkward bend after the muffler, the tips were a little difficult to get on. There are only 2 problems that I have had with this system.
1. Rocks and other debris has a tendency to get thrown up by the wheels and increases the risk of dinging the tips. I've heard it a couple of times.
2. Last weekend I was going to dinner, and my girlfriend heard a grinding noise, then I heard the exhaust get louder at about the same time. We pulled over and the connection before the muffler had come loose. I could never get this connection tight enough, and the muffler/tips would rotate towards the ground. Total movement, about 3 inches. Never dragged, but it was a little unnerving. My advice would be to get someone to at least tack weld the connections, if not a full bead around the pipe.
Overall, I really like the system. I had a neighbor that would park his van next to my passenger side, and every morning at 6:00 I would set off his alarm when I started up. After about a week of this, he changed his parking lot.

Now, to answer your remaining question:
The exhaust exits right before the rear tire.
I will post a pic tomorrow on my webshots folder when I get a chance. Probably in the evening.

 

Hey, thanks a lot for the reply. Also if you have one could you post a sound clip up as well. And did you notice any power gains/loss?

 

heres that exhaust with a 11.1 6.0 and ORY

beastmode now has my old catback

 

When I think of badass exhaust, I think LT headers with true dual bullet mufflers.

 

ya check out my exhaust clip on my sig, like Quik said this is his old catback i dunno how long he had it for before i picked it up off him but ive had it for probably 2-3 months now and if something ever happens to this one (rust) im def buyin another one

 

I hear ya man. Thats the setup I had on my Camaro. LT's, TSP True dual setup dumped right before the axle through bullet mufflers, and a large cam. I miss that sound. Dont really want to put that kind of money into the truck like I had in the car. So I figured the FM catback was one of the deepest and best sounding for the price, plus I like the way it exits right before the rear tire.
"Beastmode" and "Quik" your trucks sound good! What did you run on that pass Quik?

 

heres an idle clip of that exhaust and the old motor setup

i think that pass was 12.7s dont remember much

 

One last question guys, will this system fit on my truck? Because it only has it listed as: Fits the 2/4wd, 119" Wheelbase, Standard Cab Short Bed, 1/2Ton, 4.8/5.3L Engine. My truck in 4wd, dont know the wheelbase length and its a ext. cab with the 6.0L. So will this system work on mine?

 

Help me out guys if this will work on my truck. Really want to get it ordered, but dont know if it will bolt up to the 6.0 w/ext. cab.
