My exhaust is rotted out on my truck right now. I have the stock manifolds. 2.5" pipe into an H pipe (no cats), and two single chamber flowmaster knock offs like the flow 10s with it dumped right after that.
Well they are so rotten that they have a fist size hole in the back of each muffler casing and it doesn't sound very good at all.
I'm looking to purchase a set of Hooker Longtubes for it (92 C1500 350TBI but switching to a 350 Vortec with a Carb and a cam), run no cats, but am undecided from there back.
I'm in between a Flowmaster scavenger Y pipe collector with 2.5 in, 3 in out, and a single 18" dynomax bullet 3 in/3 out with a dump right before rear axle.
Or A Magnaflow X pipe (or equivalent) 2.5 in 2.5 out, with two 18" dynomax bullets 2.5 in / 2.5 out, with them dumped right before the rear axle.
What would give the better sound and/or performance. I know sound is subjective, but I like the smooth, fluid like sound of the LS1. It just sounds tuned when you rev it up. Almost Exotic sounding. I know that has a lot to do with firing order, but what would get me the closest?
One of my favorite exhausts I've heard on a truck is the stock set up on the Silverado RST and Sierra RST with the 4.8L v8. They just sound mean to me. But I'm not sure exactly what they run. I just know that they have JBA shorty headers, and dual tips coming out the back. In between there, no idea.
Help me out!
