Need muffler for and 83 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yamaha74 · 08-08-2005, 09:08 AM

I just bought a 1983 custom deluxe 4x4 3/4 ton. I need a muffler for it. Where is the best place to get one? Right now there is only about 4 feet of pipe coming from the headers. All I want to do for now is make it quiet. Any suggestions?

I got some IMCO chambered mufflers....very much like Flowmasters, sounded a bit deeper and less tinny, and they were half the price of Flowmasters....LOVE "EM!!!

Does anybody know the diameter of the exaust coming from the headers? It looks like 2 1/2 in. I am going to pick up an exaust today on my lunch and forgot to measure it last night.

That would depend on what type of headers you have and what kind of exhaust was on there. You should definately measure it.

Yeah, don't guess because it could be 2 1/2" or something else completely different. Just go down to the parts store and talk to them about some decent mufflers if you are only worried about making it quiter for right now.
