LT's & carven

savage_46 · Nov 27, 2016

I'm heavily considering ARH headers. Which carven muffler would be best sound wise? I don't want obnoxiously loud. I plan on getting 5" tips & leaving the resonators in. My truck is usually backed in my driveway & I don't wanna **** off my neighbors. I've watched lots of videos & all the ones that have headers, they don't list which muffler model they have. I'm leaning towards the carven progressive. I've got a feeling the progressive, LT, & 5" tips would be best for what I'm after.

Any input or vid links are appreciated.

If I'm not mistaken, the progressive series is more mellow and deep sounding. If I had to choose which muffler to go with my LTs it would be that one, especially if you don't plan on running cats.

I do plan on keeping cats. Hate the smell of no cats.

I would definitely go with the larger muffler as well. Their smaller muffler is obnoxiously loud to me, even with stock manifolds and cats. I do prefer a more mellow exhaust though.

Are any negative effects to mileage & drivability? Aside from the obvious right pedal being stuck to the floor.... :naughty:

I'm running their Progressive kit and have found no negatives so far, other than the heavy right foot that you mentioned :roflsquared:

Can't speak on LT's though as everything except this kit is stock, but I love it!

No, if you get the 1 3/4 headers from ARH or SS Works you should not have any negative low end loss. The 1 7/8 headers "may" cause some low end loss but with a custom tune, you should be able to pick most of it back up and with the 8 spd and 3.92 gearing, you shouldn't notice any difference IMO.

Fuel mileage may go up a touch if you stay out of the throttle. Other then that, you will have nothing but positive effects, especially from the sound and power alone! :favorites13:
