Exhaust Opinion?
 
Well all last year my truck (250 six) had a dual header which i hated because it leaked a lot and was obnoxiously loud. I went to the junkyard today and scored huge. Part of my score was a manifold so now i have to redo the exhaust too. I was thinking of ordering the complete exhaust from LMC. Any opinions on what will sounds better behind a mild 250? Turbo muffler or glass packs? Or is the compete exhaust from lmc junk i figured it's $120 probably under 250 to my door and that seems like a bargain to me.

Have you checked local shops yet? You maybe surprised at the cost.

I got mine from Advance Auto for around 130 I think it was. Go there first, you'll get to pick a muffler that comes with it. I picked a Thrush Turbo for the lower notes it put out, sounds meaner and doesn't have the raspy sound of the Glass Packs.

The shops around here are stupidly expensive, unfortunately in Alberta the rececion has yet to be felt, about 120-130 an hour for shop labour and i was told materials run me $80 bucks for 6 feet of tubing by most shops that would put me up fast.

choose that muffler carefully remember you have a 6 banger and it won't sound the same as a v-8. that said i'd go turbo unless you have heard one of the others and like it.

Thanks for confirming what i thought. I know it wont sound like a v8 (part of the reason i bought it). I have never heard a six on glass packs and don't know if i would like the sound i imagine they would make. I am told a turbo muffler sounds nice on these sixes that is what i think i will go with.
