    Has anyone ran a Glasspack with Vibrant Resonators Ultra Quiet?

    My current set up is Vibrant Resonator Ultra Quiet, X-Pipe, Borla Pro XS with all factory piping. I wanted something on the quieter side because I often go on road trips and listen to music. My goal was to bring out the V8 sound, but have minor to no drone. I think this setup accomplished that...

    Complete Exhaust Job - Tune for headers?

I’m Cat-less and am gonna put a Flowmaster Super 40 on. My question is.. if I spring for the headers, will I need to get a...

    P0134 and P0154

    My 99 k2500 was throwing these codes earlier. They used to show me two sets of the same code for each side. And I realized the front two O2 sensors were not plugged in. So I only plugged in the driver side front one, P0134. When I tested again, it only shows one P0134 now. Of course I still have...

    Headers and Glasspacks

    I'm sure that this is all on here somewhere, but I'm new to forums and haven't been able to find anything about doing glasspacks mounted to headers. I have a 1989 k1500 that I just bought about a month ago and I think I want to install long tube headers that go straight into two Cherry bomb...

    Exhaust flange nuts

    Hi everyone. I'm new here. The past few weeks I've been slowly breaking down the engine on my 97 Chevy C1500 5.7 Vortec to investigate a random misfire and smoke coming outta the exhaust. Come to find out a pushrod was missing on cylinder 4 under the valve cover, that I eventually found under...

    Fuel Economy Tanked in Suburban

    Hello Everyone, I have a 1997 Suburban 350, 3:73 and 4x4. I've always consistently been getting 17-18 mpg on the highway but recently its tanked and max I can get is 13.

    Manifold Woes

    Hey all, this is my first post so forgive me if I forget something. So I’ve been dealing with some exhaust issues on my 92 c1500 with the 5.0, so previously the RH side exhaust manifold had been leaking because of a crack that I had yet to find (under the heat shield). I was able to get a “new”...

    Exhaust System

    I have a 92 K2500 with a 5.0. My Y pipe is cracked, the flange from my manifold to Y pipe is leaking badly, and everything behind the cat is rusted out or just missing. I am trying to figure out a good budget bolt on solution. I am only using the truck for driving in poor weather and hauling...

    Best deep muffler for 5.7

    Looking for mufflers on a 5.7 that are deep and have little to no (preferably no) drone. I saw Thrush Welded chambered, Flowmaster 40 (but I hear they have a droning problem). Is there a good option fitting my list?

    94 gmc 454 manifold replacement

    after lurking on here some 3-4 years I finally need to ask. My manifolds are leaky at the y pipe. Makes sense since there held on my 3 c clamps. So here’s my question. I have 2-3 broken manifold bolts going into the head. Every single one broken at the y pipe. I have new manifolds already that...

    Exhaust Flange Springs?

    I have an odd question. I just bought this truck, 1997 C3500. It's got the 5.7 350. Stock manifolds. Both exhaust donuts are shot so I pulled them out and ordered new ones. However, I'm not sure if they're supposed to have springs or not? How do I know? No springs came off but they might...

    O2 sensor placement

    this is a message to all the smart dudes out there, especially when it comes to exhaust. i have a 95 c1500 TBI, I installed a 96-00 crate engine so I have vortec heads. I got true dual exhaust installed but the vendor didn't install a bung plug for the sensor. Now considering I got true duals...

    Best 5.7 Vortec Long Tubes

    I’m sure this has been discussed before, but I see a lot of back and forth of arguing with header recommendations on the threads, LOL. Looking to purchase a set of long tube headers for my 5.7 vortec. I will be doing an EGR delete to broaden my choices for long tubes. Obviously I can’t narrow...

    My tailpipe is the size of a cocktail straw

    Ok not exactly, but it's definitely smaller than stock. I'm the third owner of an 88 Chevy G20 van with a basically stock 350 (iron manifolds, factory y-pipe, cat, etc) At some point the previous owner had the exhaust from the cat back replaced by someone who cobbled together such a goofed up...

    Need a cheap exhaust system for my 88 k1500 5.7 and need help making sure I buy the right stuff

    88 k1500 5.7 with so many holes in my exhaust system from the y pipe down stream that I’m thinking of putting a new system on it. My truck isn’t nice but the 350 can still sound decent without a bunch of leaks. So I’m looking for a cheapo system for a not great truck just to make it sound a...
