whats the best sounding exhaust?

[dessert chevy]

i have a 97 chevy k1500 i currently have glasspacks and hate the sound of them. want a deeper yet louder tone. i live in virginia so i have to keep cats. any ideas?

[LBS]

I have the same truck, with the 5.7, and I run dual 40 Series Flowmasters. Very nice sound, I would definetly reccomend getting them!

[McDivot09]

Me and my dad have had 40 series flowmasters on everything we have owned and love them everytime...

go with a 2 1/2 tip which somewhat changes the sound a little deeper...

[dessert chevy]

in your opinion what other mufflers out there have a close sound and tone to 40 series?

[jlee003]

i would go with the super 40's and turn em down in front of the rear axle

[dessert chevy]

well i have no lift on it so in the state of va i cant dump em out underneath my truck. i would fail inspection.

Ask in the exhaust section.

Does any one have a video of a set of 40's?

[whiskeytown]

if you want loud then flows sound good...i have 40 series dumped with echo tips...i see you won't be able to dump them but i got mine done when i was in highschool about 5yrs ago and now i think its to loud in the cab and plan on getting magnaflow or something that has better air flow and sounds good but not necessarily loud...

[ZsevneeONE]

flowmaster 10 series sounds better than the 40s especially with no cats.40 series are over-rated.if it were me i'de just run no cats with an x-pipe with no mufflers can't beat that on the old 350s.

i ahve the same truck

get dynomax starights with dual cats

sound great inb idle and around 2000 rpms and then sounds amazing higher

[04BlackGMC]

Not straight pipes of glass packs.....The end

[92gmc1500]

irun a magnaflow cat with a dynomax bullet

[mossyoak 89]

i got straights and kept my cats and i think it sounds pretty damn good!

[Twiztedmods]

3" 40 series Flowmaster... Sounds good...

[ChevyMan02]

Thats my original setup 2.25" true duals with cats and no mufflers.



Then I cut the cats and added an x-pipe, still no mufflers. 10 series will give you a little deeper tone just not as loud.

[SilveradoLQ9]

I would go with a magnaflow.

so you have emissions in your state then...I was gonna say my last two trucks had no cats and a super 40. It sounds awesome!!! sucks for you cuz you need cats

[92gmc1500]
