Which Exhaust?

[chevy16]

just got a 2001 silverado st cab long bed 4.8 4x4 for work. my old truck was a 454SS toooootal difference on the pedal. anyway looking to boost performance and sound. have the S&B CAI and a jet chip. ready to drop in when i decide on the exhaust. (single side exit to keep it on the non flashy side). so whats gonna sound

1. gibson single side swept

2. flowmaster 50 series/suv Single side out

3. magnaflow muffler cut in 12259 (other thread is outdated)

Even though I'm a die-hard CORSA fan I'll vote for the Magnaflow...STAY AWAY from Gibson!

 

Oh....Forget about the jet chip also...go with a Black Bear custom tune!

I vote #2, listen to my single in, dual out Flowmaster 40.

I have a Flowmaster and it sounds sweet.....

I have a Magnaflow and like it very much. I also had a Flowmaster that was not bad, but it rusted out in a couple of years.

 

Based on both build quality and sound, I prefer the Magnaflow.

I have a 50 series single out. Love it.

yeah this is a rare set up probably no one has on a LB 4.8........I think gibson is off the list now. My only question is if i have the cold air S&B intake, some people tell me the 50/SUV series cat back SOS. and the magna 12259 with stock pipe will sound the same.....True or False

Keepin' my Gibson. Guess it's like women; some are just plain "high maintenance".

Just swapped out my 40 series Flowmaster with a Magnaflow #11229 single in single out with full 3inch pipe all the way back.The Flowmaster was robbing me of low-end power, that I am now enjoying with the Magnaflow . I'm running a 4.8L in my truck with an Airaid MIT with drop-in K&N filter.

 

Here is a sound clip.......Zembonez asked for one over on TMC.

Go for choice #4, the JBA, www.jbaheaders.com.

 

You will not be diasappointed. Great quality and sound, without the annoying drone at cruising speeds.

As the OP stated he wanted performance and sound, Flowmaster (or any chambered muffler) is out. Get a straight-through design like Magnaflow.

got magnaflow 12259 i like it..

 

great middle of the road sound and i've gotten a few compliments on it.

 

not too loud, but does sound mean.
