exhaust options questions

[tsg2009]

My 2nd gen is a long bed club cab with the 5.9 and i was wondering what kind of exhaust to put on, if anyone has sound clips pictures or insight let me know thanks in advance,

-i know i want slash cut no rolled tips
-not sure on exit location/muffler/ or pipe sizes

do the bull horns out at the back an best place for sound clips is you tube do flows or slp

its a gasser

I had mine out the back when I first got it. stock headers, cat, no muffler with Magnaflow tips. I have another video but can't access you tube at work. look under wermbang there.





I now have it cut off just behind the cab so that I can curve it out to just in front of the rear tire. it will exit like so

 

[tsg2009]

It sounded pretty good, what size tubing to what size tips? I was thinking about glasspacks but I want it to sound good and I know some glasspack setups are funky sounding

I thought about infront of by back tire just not sure cause im so long, it would look good on yours though

my pipe is 2.5" I believe

 

[tsg2009]

ok 4" inch tips? i was thinking about running a super 44 for inspection then take it off and put in a piece of pipe to make it loud

 

[wermbang]

Yes I believe they are 4s

Just remember too large of pipe & the less restriction you will notice a loss of low end torque. I was blown away when I had a very low restricted muffler on my 97 S-10 Blazer 4x4 at the loss of low end torque. I would of never believed it until I did it.

So should I do 2.5" piping with muffler? Or without? Any ideas? I want a nice deep tone some crackel but a deep louder sound throughout all rpm ranges (if possible)

 

[wermbang]

I think the 2.5 is a good size pipe for our trucks.

For the "crackel" you need a glass pack, for the deep tone you need a good brand muffler. I have not heard one with the other yet, a choice you kinda gota make Before doing exhaust.
Personally I enjoy the deep rumble of a good muffler Moroso makes one I enjoy the hell out of Moroso Spiral Flow Mufflers - JEGS This with 2.5" tubeing and your cats if you need to keep them would sound mean I beleave.
But then again the stock exhaust note from the 360 always sounded the best to me, if not the best performance =)~

If you search Youtube, type wermbang I have another video there. i can't access it from work as its blocked.

[tsg2009]

ok so if i go with the moroso's should i do one then a y or should i do a y then 2?

open to any ideas i dont want to suffer in performance cause shes lacking a little on the get up and go

I have a 5.9 with MOPAR installed CAI, CARB legal headers and a 2.5 mandrell bent pipe in the stock spots, it sounds pretty nice as is...oh it does have one of those resinator tips on it too..

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Some of the tips clean up the sound, others completly choke it out.

 

[Hotroder383]

The closer to the end of the pipe you get with the muffler the deerp the sound MOST of the time, usally a bit louder too though.
As for one or two if your not splitin it off the cats and running a true duel I'd just go with the one and not worry about spending the extra $50. But thats just me.

 

[wermbang]

Yeah I would just do the one going 1 to 2, instead of 2 mufflers.
