Post pictures of your mufflers and exhaust system - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I ordered my Spintech mufflers & X-pipe from Spintech.
I went by my original glass packs clearance to determine if they would work. But decided to go ahead and ask what all you've done to make sure I didn't screw up.

(mainly to get some really cool ideas

)

Heddman long tube headers, to 2-1/4 duals, they come up into the frame rails after the crossmember, Turbo mufflers are tucked in close to the springs, and it dumps over the axle. Came with the truck, but sounds mean as hell.

Sport/Truck · 01-21-2009, 10:30 PM

You made me think I almost oversized my pipes! I ordered 2.5in, and after a quick check here I found it's what is recommended.

dodged a bullet there. lol

Can't help you much my 292 was running straight pipe from the manifold back as the muffler had fallen off. Sounded mean kind of like a prop plane taking off.

2-1/2s are plenty good for our trucks. Hurts the low end a little, but it's not oversized for a healthy small block.

My truck gets enough flow from the tail pipes to blow leaves around that are 5-10 feet from the rear bumper, and it dumps at the axle.

EyeH8the24 · 01-21-2009, 11:31 PM

i have spin techs on my truck and love them ..i have a x pipe to install later .2 1/2 inch coming out in front of the rear tires ....ran it thru the center crossmember.i have long headers on it now so i couldnt tuck it up to much at the collector.will try to take some pics tom if i can get home before dark

bigguy69 · 01-21-2009, 11:35 PM

do you guys have any video or sound clips of your exhaust i would like to hear it

texanidiot25 · 01-21-2009, 11:44 PM

YouTube - CST10

Even meaner in person. Youtube and my cam don't translate well.

bigguy69 · 01-21-2009, 11:50 PM

it still sounds good does it roar in the cab going down the road i like it

texanidiot25 · 01-21-2009, 11:53 PM

Couldn't tell you, haven't driven it besides up and down the driveay while moving it around. If it wasn't for CPP's lazy ass shipping methods I would have it on the road this weekend.

At idle it's very deep in the cab, but when holding the revs at about cruising speed it's got a nice throaty tone with out droning like flow masters. It has a mean bark when you wail on the throttle.

Trust me, I can't wait to get on an open road and let that 4bbl go wide open

LuckyHenriksen · 01-22-2009, 12:46 AM

2.5 inch with X pipe out to the bumper. Running Cherry Bomb Extreme muffs. Scares the old ladies on the side walk

I am running a Dr gas (same guy who designed the spin tech) 3" x-pipe with 3 inch Dynomax Super Turbos. I will post a picture and sound clip a little later.

Sport/Truck · 01-22-2009, 08:07 AM

Here's a sound clip that I really dig with the spintechs.

YouTube - 2005 Pontiac GTO, Pacesetter Headers,...

lowriden58 · 01-22-2009, 09:23 AM

Here is one of mine on the dyno, guy couldnt get her to hook up

sorry for the sound/pic quality its just a digital. 3" straight to 1chamber flowmasters dumped

cadiman67 · 01-22-2009, 01:19 PM

here is a link (that i hope works) to a video of mine.
I have Jeg's long tube headers and a complete Stainless steel Magna-flow system with 2.5", x-pipe, polished mufflers, and behind the rear tire exits.

Sport/Truck · 01-23-2009, 08:08 AM

I just got this link from another thread. It real similar to how mine are now, and I plan on doing it like this one.
My concern is the muffler location on a lowered truck.
Is this how you have them on a lowered truck?

Andy4639 · 01-23-2009, 08:26 AM

That's how mine are ran. The only thing I did was turn the muffler on there sides for more clearance since it was lowered. I want to redo mine and run them through the rear support at some point and time.

texanidiot25 · 01-23-2009, 06:34 PM

Mine sit right next to the springs over the trailing arms. Just have to tweak it so that it doesn't bounce off the muffler any more.

Plenty of clearence over the axle though. I'd have to start digging into the bump stops before I hit the pipes

straitnate14 · 01-24-2009, 10:25 AM

this is mine, it's lound pretty much all the time but it's not poppy like the 2 inch stuff is
