I am running shorty headers (same length as manifolds) and they hooked up to my exhaust just fine with no modifications. As far as sound goes, there are too many manufacturers to list, my suggestion would be to listen to exhaust sound clips on youtube for the best idea. Before you sell yourself on the "flowmaster" name, look at Jones full boar, and the summit racing house brand "flowmaster" mufflers. You can save a ton of money just at this point.
I'll most definitely look into this! I use flow master as a general term for muffler lol; she's got a rusted out glasspack on her right now. I'll look into your recommendation for sure!
I currently have the Jones full boar race mufflers that are essentially a flowmaster super 10 series muffler which is a single chamber muffler. This is as close to straight pipes you can get and still have some sort of muffler. I initially had them dumped at the axle, but it was so loud in the cab, you really couldn't carry on a conversation with the person next to you. I did eventually get tail pipes put on and it helped a lot, but I am going to have the summit racing version of the flowmaster super 40's put on here shortly. I have a true dual setup without a cat.
My dad told me a story once about back in the day he wanted to have the pipes come out at the axel; said the shop wouldn't do it and told dad just to trust him. Explained that's exactly why he did it, would sound really great but for any man looking to communicate or just enjoy some drive time without an exhaust screaming in your ear, it wasn't a good option. Instead they cut em out just behind the tires and to the sides. This way he could hear conversation in the cab, and all he had to do to hear the truck loudly was roll down the window.
I'll never forget dads trucks; any time you'd cross a bridge he'd roll the windows down and gun it lol!
I really dig the real trucks don't shift themselves in your signature, and I totally agree with you there. Here's a link to my build thread: https://www.gmt400.com/threads/94-z71.34945/
If you would like one of those stickers I can definitely ship one your way. My sister charges $15 which covers shipping. As you can tell, it's a big ass sticker lol. Just shoot a DM my way if you'd like one =). Quality is awesome and I get Pavement Princesses taking pictures at stop lights all the time lol. The sticker is an inside joke; jab at my dad lol.
