new exhaust**sound clip/video added

After lowering my truck the exhaust was banging on the frame and rear axle. Very annoying.
Took it to a local expert and hotrodder. He worked magic on it.











He used Magnaflow mufflers and the sound is perfect.

Re: new exhaust

What I see looks good From a few yrs in the muffler shop with a veteran of 45 yrs.....spray the pipes with some cheap paint(from the headers back, or bottom of the 1 st bend back a couple ft. Take her out for a couple full throttle runs, & look see where the paint stops burning. This will be the optimum spot to add the H pipe. It will tame the loud just a tad, but will have a sweeter(cleaner)sound. This will also help with low/mid tork(without hurting top end power). have fun, crazyAl

Re: new exhaust

Got a sound clip or video? I've been thinking about having my exhaust redone and using magnaflows on mine.

Re: new exhaust

Sounds good! I have flow 40's right now but am considering magnaflows. What engine are you running, and is it stock or built?

Re: new exhaust

Is it a small block?

Just noticed the Tahoe in the background, now you need a magnaflow on it, I have one on my Tahoe and it sounds great.

Re: new exhaust

yes it is a 350/290 crate engine. The tahoe is my company car, I'm guessing they may want me to leave it alone....
