I went with true dual Flowmaster 50 series delta flow mufflers and 2.5" pipe all the way from the manifolds back. I also had him weld in an H-pipe just before the mufflers. I made the appointment a few days in advance, and it was raining like the hammers of hell Saturday morning when I had to bring it in. It broke my heart but oh well I guess "first ride in the rain" can get crossed off the list. I wasn't sure how to exit the pipes, so I went with the conventional exit behind the rear tire. I am very happy with the look and sound of it. I will try to attach a cell phone video of it idling. (I know, I know, I didn't rev it up).

Last things left are the wood in the bed, and still waiting on the tailgate to be finished. Why is it so common for people In the auto body trade to never finish things on time?





1972 K10 idle sound - Flowmaster 50 series - YouTube

That was a little louder than i expected for 50 series, guess i'll go with 70 series..

My question is does it resonate into the cab when driving?

Your truck is lookin sweet!
