I looked at that dynomax super turbo, but the shop I went to in town sold me on a flowmaster 50 suv. It's a 2.5 in/out, but they tacked it right into my 2.25 setup. Way better. I can still hear it when I romp on it, pretty tame at cruise, and here is an ever so slight increase at 67 that disappears at 70. Dang, still gotta make those sound clips.

haha yeah and I want to get a high flow cat put on mine to make it quieter. but don't want it to hinder "performance". SO I am stuck $100 on a new cat or $100 on a magnaflow/flowmaster etc etc.

i would never buy a expencive muffler i came with the truck lol.

the last muffler i bought was for the 81 and it was a thrush turbo for 22 bucks lol

but i guess you get what you pay for because the magnaflow sounds ALOT better than the thrush lol

I dunno if this was mentioned already, but the length of the tailpipe and the amount of bends makes a difference. For example: my Blazer was super loud with the tailpipe off, but real quiet with it on.

ya i had a old flowmaster 40 series on my truck when i got it. the first thing i did was cut it off and put a dynomax on it. the flowmaster sounded like crap in the cab and the dynomax with no cat and a turndown had a pretty good tone but wasn't loud

I have a magnaflow that came with the downey kit. I'll have to measure how long it is.

The funny thing is, when this was my father's truck I made fun of him for complaining about how loud the exhaust was...5 years later and it's me who's complaining! LOL.

I hear ya. I bought K_Labs set up after he locked up his engine, a magnaflow high flow cat and a flowmaster 40 series with the dump right before the rear axle. I can set off car alarms at idle in parking lots. I need a new cat soon though, there was a nasty rattle in it the other day so I pulled it off and sure enough the honeycombing was knocking around inside of it. IT'S SO OBNOXIOUS! Seriously, I feel like just bolting in a test pipe and calling it good sometimes... Silly emissions laws, ruining all my fun...

That sounded pretty nice and is the sound I'm looking for, but you have the stock manifold and cat. Maybe I'll just have to reinstall the factory parts if I want it to quiet down.

Thanks for posting up that video.
