Re: Mufflers
Depends on the muffler and if you like droning in the cab.

Re: Mufflers
Haha, I feel the same way about the wife. I mounted mine behind the cab.

Re: Mufflers
72 LWB C20, flowmaster 40's under bed. Amazingly quiet for this set up.
95 Xcab GMC same mufflers under cab - very loud. Iknow, different trucks but I think the later model would be better insulated. |

Re: Mufflers
Under bed - If lowered, mount the mufflers on their side and not flat for trailing arm clearance.

If your vehicle has an obnoxious drone put a "J" pipe on it and it will go away.... Mine did. LockDoc

Re: Mufflers
A j-pipe will definitely cure the drone (from the mufflers, not the wife), but an h-pipe is almost as effective and much cheaper. I had one installed on my '98 Silverado with Edelbrock RPM mufflers, and it almost completely eliminated the droning.

Re: Mufflers
Good point, the '72 has an H pipe & is quieter. The '95 does not...food for thought. H pipe should be easier to install for sure.
