hollowman Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I have true dual exhaust on my 2005 silverado. The two pipes run into a y-pipe, which then runs into a single in/dual out flowmaster s10 muffler. Is this a louder setup, then if I had the 2 pipes each run into a single in/single out flowmaster s10 muffler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Dual would be louder. Get rid of the flowcrappers and put in some bullets or magnaflow magnapacks. I'm not a fan of a y pipe, x pipe yes. If I have duals if not gonna go into a single exhaust to me it makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollowman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 So, it would be better to run 2 single chamber mufflers rather than one muffler at all? Im actually thinking about eliminating the muffler all together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Yeah I would also recommend doing an x pipe and 2 single chamber muffler then dump them. Magnaflows are always a good choice. That setup will probably give you the best sound and performance gains. I would not recommend getting rid of your mufflers. Its way too loud and it atrscts the po po's Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1BAD2K Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I would rather have a single true straight through muffler (like mentioned above) than chambered flowmasters which cause horsepower loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollowman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Im not totally understanding some of these suggestions. I have true dual pipes that run from the engine. I havent had problems w/ sound complaints ever w/the system I have on now. There are mufflers out there that arent chambered at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My flo pro max is straight through and so are the two glass packs after it haha. All TRUE duel. No Y pipe, just a X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollowman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Why would you need the x pipe if you have true dual running thru 2 straight thrus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC03SS Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 To balance banks and help to scavenge exhaust. This is very true. So, it would be better to run 2 single chamber mufflers rather than one muffler at all? Im actually thinking about eliminating the muffler all together We know what your saying with true dual we have the same. If you take the muffler off all together it will be so loud you can't drive it. I personally have pacesetter headers no cats to 2 3" cutouts then to an X pipe then a 2.5" dual in dual out magnaflow dumped and I love the sound. Straight through mufflers are really nice I personally like them. I don't like chambered mufflers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coal miner Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I had two flowmaster 10 series on my truck and they sound like crap. I now have a borla xl dual in dual out 2.5 in. The sound is way way way better!! I will never use another flowmaster on anything I own. They was really holding my truck back to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollowman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Any thoughts on cherry bomb vortex muffler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollowman Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is the problem Im currently having. The hangar for 1 of the tail pipes broke, causing the pipe on the driver side to hang low and the y pipe broke where it connected to the flo s10 single inlet. I brought it to the shop to have them weld wear the pieces broke and I was told it would cost $100 more to just replace the flo s10 w/a flo dual in/dual out and just have the pipes stop short of the rear end. They installed a cherry bomb vortex instead, which I didnt want nor like. It doesnt sound as loud as I had it before. To me, cherry bombs are good if ur drag racing maybe b/c u only hear em when u floor it. U dont hear it at idle. I posted pics of how the setup is now. I just wanna know what would be best way to hook up system before I change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 A couple pics of mine maybe it will help you a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason76 Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Could I just run a single chamber muffler on each dual exhaust with no xpipe. Would it sound ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
