Anyone have LMC exhaust - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i posted this on myoldtruck.com awhile ago ...
just curious if anyone here has hear about or bought there dual exhaust setup ... glasspacks or turbo mufflers .... im seriously thinking about it... can't make up my mind though

lukecp · 11-30-2003, 05:42 PM

I have heard they are good.....but i don't have one.
Before you go LMC, ask around and price exhaust from a local shop.....easier on you that way (just drop off the truck and pick it up later), plus you can get whatever mufflers and pipe size you want.

As far as the mufflers go, i personally think turbo muffs have a better sound, but glasspacks are louder. A pair of 18" glasspacks, and some 3" diameter x 24" long chrome tips will sound OK and be loud though....

71-longbed · 11-30-2003, 05:53 PM

i think im gonna go with theh turbo's ... i have glasspacks now ... so im kinda in the "been there done that" attitude now
biggest thing is i hate having to ease up on the right foot when i see a cop up ahead .... im gonna let a few more people respond to this thread and then i will most likely put in my order today ..... 179 plus 21 shipping is great for new exhaust if you ask me ... i dont mind doing it myself

i have the lmc exhaust with turbo mufflers and exiting the rear of the truck i've had it for 2years without a problem

I have there turbo kit for the manifolds. I had to cut two of the pipes because of the shotbed but the fit perfect. I would buy another set if needed. JC whitney sells the same kit. Mine came in a box that read Heartbeat Exhaust.

71-longbed · 11-30-2003, 07:31 PM

you guys have any pics ...by chance ... i know exhaust is exhaust ... but i was curious how it looked

thanks

Tuck · 11-30-2003, 07:33 PM

nu2-72 · 11-30-2003, 08:47 PM

I have it also. Had to cut one pipe to make even. Otherwise was great.

da-burb · 11-30-2003, 08:53 PM

I used the LMC kit in my 72 4x4. everything fit perfectly. my only concern was the 1/4" clamps. they look a little on the light side, but they did work. I would buy them again.

71-longbed · 11-30-2003, 08:55 PM

wow tuck ...that looks awesome !!!!... are the turbos suppose to be angled like that or did you modify it ??

oh by the way ..the second pic didnt show up /... i'll pm you will my addy .... so you can send it my way

thanks

We have them on 8 of the 9 trucks that we have, (2x4s, 4x4s, Blazer 4x4, and Burb 4x4, short and long beds). We have had very good luck with them. As Da Burb mentioned, the clamps are a little skinny. We use heavy duty clamps and toss the light ones.

Jim

PS: Nice pic tuck!

onelow69 · 12-01-2003, 12:48 AM

Hope this is not a stupied question, but are the LMC exhust kits have mandrel bends. It looks to me that in the picture above that they are, and what sizes do the the kits come in.

onelow69 · 12-01-2003, 12:52 AM

Do you think this will work on lowered trucks with a 3.5 front and 6 rear drop from ECE. Thanks

71-longbed · 12-01-2003, 12:55 AM

its mandrel bend 2 1/4 inch pipes ....16 gauge aluminized steel

onelow69 · 12-01-2003, 01:39 AM

Thanks for the quik reply, also can you tell me what the off set for the mufflers are center in or side in and the same for the out put side. I think I'm going to buy this kit.
