reprogram would be more effective

Well, the extended length of the truck will help and if you have the exhaust exit out the back or behind the rear axle at least that will help a lot with noise. I have heard magnaflow are great for having a mellow sound w/out the cab drone you can get with flowmasters. The way your exhaust comes together will also help mellow out the sound...I'd put the muffler as far back as I could....

With all my rear air and lowering I think I will have to have a single in/out muffler and exhaust exit in front of my rear wheel. Any factory mufflers that somebody likes?

**67cheby** · 03-02-2011, 01:03 PM

that is exactly what i did on my exhaust

JasonBird · 03-02-2011, 01:10 PM

i think the 5.0 mustangs had the perfect stock exhaust tone. that's what i'm going to try and get for my 67.

**Palf70Step** · 03-02-2011, 06:33 PM

Why not use the stock Vortec muffler from 96-up dual in and single out. Fairly efficient and mellow

Along the same lines, why not go with a stock 2002 truck muffler since you have that theme going already.

Off the shelf replacement mufflers should give you some choice of sound level and they will all be relatively the same size so swapping one for another will be a piece of cake.

You probably have a stock one or two sitting around that you can build the exhaust system around to get you started.

Like your idea of 4 link in rear. I want to use a newer chassis for my suburban also and the wheelbase will be different no matter what I use (stock is 127"). That makes the change in wheelbase easier with the good ride.

Exactly!

On my 5.3L in LowBuk I have stock camaro manifolds with 2.5" duals out to a 3" merge right behind the trans then it goes from their the single pipe goes to the flow master in and out. It is mellow but you can tell their is something under the hood that is not stock.
With that being said I think with your build I would go with a stock set up you have around their and down the road you can swap out for a cat back set up that is made for your truck if you want a change.

I agree, I've got a free exhaust system, why not use it. I can always change it later when I'm bored with it.

No cats on yours? How does she run??

Does anyone know if you gain much by deleting the cats?

I am too cheap to buy an aftermarket air system since they are over $1000. I have 3 of these new style units left over, and it is factory engineered ready to plug into my harness. I'll have to make it fit somehow if it kills me.

Yes, a shrink ray would be quite handy about now.

Yea. Until the unit re-expands after install and tears the truck apart.

I tend to over analize cartoons. It's a sickness.

VA72C10 · 03-04-2011, 02:08 AM

Have you looked at what they run on the used parts market? Maybe you can sell them and pick up a vintage air with the money?

These factory AC systems never die and never get smashed in a wreck, so there is no market for them at all - that's why I still have 3.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can......

**67cheby** · 03-04-2011, 10:26 AM

i dont think you are trying to save money ....i think you just like the challenge of seeing if you can get it in there !!!!! YOU CAN DO IT !!! then you will have pass and driver climate control ...how cool is that

Hmmmmm, I think you may be right.

68 TT · 03-04-2011, 03:26 PM

What about pulling the stock dash off the firewall, fit up the A/C unit then reinstall the stock dash over the top. You could then locate the stock metal dash panel a little farther off the firewall than it was stock to give you the room you need. Some metal filler panels on the dash top and sides will be needed but it can still look stock when you are done, just stretched a little.

hgs_notes · 03-04-2011, 08:48 AM

You've done some terrific work on this project, but I don't think that unit is going to fit under your dash.

JasonBird · 03-04-2011, 06:28 PM

lol, i think the back seats just got smaller!! JK ;-)
