Could be - with smaller tubes of course.

You're stalking me! hahah

I just have to get my truck quieter, I've heard the 6.2's stock and i'll admit they sound pretty good. I don't have my stock 5.3 muffler anymore, but this might be something good that people don't realize just how good it really is.

Regardless, my Corsa is still coming off. Either this or the big 22" magnaflow will go back on.
As long as it doesnt rattle it would probably sound decent behind LTs. And you know I'm watching all the ARH threads so that means you must be stocking me lol.

Agreed. If mine was still around I'd cut it open and find out.

My corsa is too loud for me.

Do you have cats on yours?
Yep - but they're the ARH "high-flow" cats. As far as the sound goes, may as well not have any cats at all, LOL!

Im curious how that muffler compares to a duramax muffler.... i think they have 3.5" pipe as well. I also know someone who had a VERY fast ECSB with a 6.0 that ran one of those.

I have no idea concerning the construction nor flow of the Duramax mufflers, but I can def tell you that they don't sound nearly as good!

Sound clip with slight exhaust leak, untuned. Stock muffler, pacesetters, no cats.

And for those interested, I'll have a stock muffler for sale soon.

Why do you not like the stock muffler?

I'm actually having one of these put on right now.... as I type. Replaced my Corsa with it.

I think it sounds great on your truck btw. Just wish I had the 6.2... oh well, that's next.

Audio was a bit distorted, but yours sounds pretty much like mine. High-flow cats are like having no cats when it comes to the sound level.
