Nudder Muffler Thread

I have decided it's time to do something about the sound on my '72 K2500. The system on there now was done in '04. It's full headers with Flowmasters, I forget which, through 2 1/4" pipes out the rear corners. It has been rock steady with no issues except it broke loose behind a muffler and I pieced it together. That was a few years ago right there. So I'm thinking the mufflers aren't muffling like they used too because it's louder than I like anymore.

The 350 is a good runner at somewhere shy of 275+hp, TH350 that shifts strong, and 4.10s. I want a more muffled sound. I think I want more than the quiet power mufflers out there. I'm just not sure what I'll get with those. I listen to videos but I never think the audio sounds realistic. I want a low muffled tone and also want good flow. I'm just talking about muffler replacement here. A new system can wait.

I almost pulled the trigger on these.

I just landed on them looking for round w/offset. I wonder if they will have a nice tone. I know round is not as quiet as oval, but it has to do with how the exhaust is run. I'm ok with I guess I want more respectable sounding to suit the truck. Strong but not loud. I used to like the sound the truck had. I think any muffler will sound better now. It used to only get loud when it was wide open and the rest of the time just strong.
