Exhaust routing question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chris4x4Gill2 · 06-11-2009, 07:43 PM

I need to buy some mufflers for my truck so I can run the engine without making all the neighbors hate me. I dont wnat ot do the full exhaust yet, but I dont want ot buy parts twice either.

My plan is, to just run the two mufflers straight behind the headers for now, basically attach them right after the reducer.

I plan on using 2.5" exhaust but I cant decide whether i need offset inlet/exit for the muffler or offset inlet/center exit. What do you guys recommend?

No trouble. Nice kit for the money too.

If you want something cheap and temporary, this is the setup I had for a time before I had my custom setup installed.

Basically $15 turbo mufflers from summit, and off the shelf components from Autozone. Installed them myself, no welding.
