So I have a 97 Sierra ECSB.....When I got it, had a drone king terrible sounding Xlerator dual in dual out muffler. So I removed it and had 2 single in / single out Magnaflows installed. This cured the terrible drone..but it still has a sound on hard acceleration that I cannot stand...We all know what glasspacks sound like...well that is the sound it makes if you go over 3500 rpm...it sounds downright cheap and crappy as hell.
The pipes go out to the back of the truck, I wonder if cutting them and dumping in front of the axle will help with this? I may have to anyhow because next week I am going from 2/4 to 4/6 drop...might not clear the underside of the bed so that is no biggie.
Suggestions? I hope this makes sense to some of you....I am very surprised that I am getting the crappy sound out of nice Magnaflow mufflers. Guess maybe its a trait of the Vortec series motors? its a 5.7 btw.
I also have an X-pipe I have thought about installing to see if it helps the situation out?
Thanks !
