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....

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 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.

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.

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! |
