Exhaust Idea?

[sftull]

I had a flowmaster installed on my truck and while its ok for ridding around town, the drone kills me on the highway. I had an idea to install both mufflers and use an electric exhaust cut out to switch between the factory muffler and the flowmaster. Anyone see any problems with this idea?

 

Thanks

I'm not sure what kind of issues you'll have with that setup... BUT, it would probably be a lot easier and cheaper to just get a muffler that doesn't kill you with drone on the highway, but still gives you a nice sound for other times.

Any recommendations?? My grandfather has a GMC Yukon XL Denali and it sounds great w/ the factory exhaust. I would love to have a muffler like it has....anyone know what comes on them?

What about a Corsa muffler they aren't supposed to drone?

Dunno what flow master you put on your truck but. The Force 2 system is what I have on my truck. It is a little bit louder than the stock exhaust at highway speed in the cab.. The only time you actually get a good noise from the exhaust is during acceleration. I looked on flowmaster's site I have the older force II system (mine has the exhaust tips that are bent not straight DOR). My system has a resonator just past the catalytic converter. It is very quite at cruising speeds but gives nice tone. (Think this is the system I put on my truck) If you just stuck a Flowmaster on the truck get a resonator and put behind your catalytic converter.... That should hush it up..

Just my opinion.. but Corsa touring, Borla, or Magnaflow would serve your purpose.

Keep in mind that YDXL has a different motor in it than your truck does. So, that will effect the sound a good bit, too... So, you might be able to put the same muffler on your truck, but that doesn't mean it'll sound the same (it won't).

If you are talking about an 07 and up YDXL you can put the muffler from one on your truck and it will sound very close.

Which series Flows do you have?

Problem with the electric exhaust cut outs is they have the tendency to fail where they stick open or closed. I had a few on my race car, but ended up switching it out for a manual cut out after 3 electric failures.

a few of us have the Flowmaster 70 big block. No highway drone. A bit deeper and louder.

I don't know how they would sound on our trucks but I have a set of two Magnaflows on my Grand Prix GTP and they sound sick! There is a bit of drown around 50 MPH but certainly not unbearable, and sometimes I drive at that speed and have a little fun with the sound.

I just got the Flowmaster 70 BB on Friday and like it so far. No drone to speak of. It's only slightly louder in the cab vs stock through most of the throttle range and i get a bit more of its sound when up against buildings.

I have a 50 series flowmaster. Does anyone know what muffler is on the YDXL 07-08?
