OK, in a nutshell, the 454SS is my high schooler's truck. It has 125,000 original miles, stock exhaust manifolds, catalytic converter in for now, one pipe into a Cherry bomb muffler, and dual pipes coming out to the back. It sounds good, but not real loud. We want to raise the exhaust sound level (read as much louder!).
Picking an exhaust setup is difficult because everything you hear on Youtube or the manufacturer's sites all depends on the engine size and components.
So here is what we have to work with:
1- Stock exhaust manifolds, if we can help it- we don't want to put in headers at this time.
2- Catalytic converter can stay or go- our county does not require one.
3- We still want to have exhaust going out the back- so a professional shop will be needed to do the bending/welding.
What mufflers will make the exhaust super loud, but not sound like complete open header type exhaust?
With or without the Cat?
Thanks for any information.
