Too loud? nawwww - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My friends all drive imports and have to make up for it with huge stereos. I on the otherhand, have a smallblock. They go through parking lots and try to set off car alarms with their systems and it's pretty funny. I never thought my truck was THAT loud untill last week. I was down at my college in the parking garage. It's been sitting for 2 days, so I gave it a pump and half throttle and cranked it up. As the exhaust cleared I heard this "whaa whaa whaa" and another alarm that sounded like a fire alarm. I look back and a jaguar's alarm is going off. I look around to see if anyone had put 2 and 2 together and noticed the emergency lights for the parking garage were going off. (that explained the fire alarm sound) I set off a whole freaking building alarm! ahahahhaa. I didn't stick around to see what happened next, but I'm pretty proud of myself. lol

I feel kinda guilty thinking about putting a new exhaust on it now.

Full length headers with flows tucked above the rear axle and exits on both sides behind the rear wheels. I'm about to put MagnaFlows on.

I used to have an 80 K20 with the pipes coming out the side about window height for the ricers. hehehe and they think its annoying to give me a thumping. I gave them a solid "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH" right in the face!!!!!!

I'm putting the exhaust off of my IROC on my truck but dumped at the cab. It is full 3" with a H pipe and 1 chamber flows. I set off 13 car alarms @ a local Wal-Mart when I went to show my friend the new Muffs. Driving in and then leaving it was awesome. I loved the drone...It was then that I had a great appreciation for tweeters so I could hear my music.

Do it all the time w/ Flowmaster 40's behind the 350

Back when I first got my truck I ran straight 2.5" pipe going out to the back and exiting right behind the rear left wheel. I never drove anything that loud until then. That old 350 never felt better.
