03_SILVERADO_SS. Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Changed the exhaust on my SS today, Still not sure if I like it yet, May be changing to a Magnaflow XL series. Very loud at cruise!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 looks good are those 50 series mufflers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 You need to eliminate the Y pipe and dump right after the mufflers. The resonance on mine was horrible around 65-70mph w/ the Y pipe... since I dumped 'em its much improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I run 2 1/2" headpipes into a single 3" tail with a Y pipe- then two 3" Flowmaster 50 series in tandem on my motorhome, it's very quiet at idle but sounds good when opened up. It's not very "normal" but it sure works good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03_SILVERADO_SS. Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Had the same problem on my Suburban with 2 Magnaflows and a 4" tailpipe, I may just make two 3" tailpipes and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I must have a lot of tolerance, I have almost the same exact setup and I want it louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03_SILVERADO_SS. Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well your last name is "Payne" Put a 4" tailpipe on and it will be alot louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_a_n_payne Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I might do that I might also get the super 40s and some high flow cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03_SILVERADO_SS. Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Kinda getting used to the noise, It's only bad around 2,200 rpm......So I keep it around 3-5,000!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03_SILVERADO_SS. Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 I changed the tailpipes, Still have mixed reviews, resonance is gone at 70mph but, feels a little slower, and is much louder off idle till 2,000 rpms. Next up, Magnaflow Muffler install........Till then, here is this weekends work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveWire Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Great idea! I just went from Flowmasters to Magnaflow and really like the Magnaflow a lot better (well I put headers on too). The Flowmasters are louder if you just want that loud ass rumble, but the Magnaflow system and ASM headers really helped with performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSminneapolis Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 i had the 40's at one time. they were loud...i switched to a single 50 series big block muffler and it is much better...and instead of running tips out the corners like you did (i did the same with my 40s), with the 50 i just dumped it...

03_SILVERADO_SS. Posted December 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Well, here it is Christmas eve and I find myself changing mufflers again. Ditched the dual muffler thing, went to a Magnaflow xl dual in and out, sound is once again sane, I don't have to wonder if the cop on the next county heard me get on it!!!! I also put the stock tailpipe back on, I Really liked the look without but the clearance with 3" tailpipes is a problem if I lower it. Merry Christmas everyone, and to all a quiet night!!!!
