Exhaust Suggestions


Recommended Posts

Posted

hello, I am new here. I have a 09 sierra 5.3 and I am looking to get an exhaust system. I previously had a 03 silverado SS with JBA headers and a magnaflow system that I really liked but alot of people on here seem to not like them. Since the engine size in my old truck is different than my new one I know that I cannot expect to get the same sound so that is why I am asking for some advice. I want it to sould very clean and quiet at cruising speeds. I liked my old setup but I am not sure which route to go on the new one. thanks

Any system by Corsa or dB Performance Exhaust should give you a great sound without the annoying AFM/DOD resonance. They might cost a little more, but the exhaust note is SO sweet!

I was looking at those, I really was looking to do the side exit before the rear tire, does anyone have any pros or cons to this application?

I used to have a Gibson SuperTruck system that exited in front of the RR tire, but sold it because of that AFM/DOD sound I mentioned before. But it might not bother you like it did me.

I used Flowmaster tips instead of the Gibson ones.

I know they used to sell just the dB mufflers by themselves but don't think they do anymore.

Anyone have some more info??

60 bucks.... cut off the muffler right at the very front near the inlet pipe and exhaust hanger, leave enough to put on a custom bent 3" pipe right out the side about 2" under the front shackle hanger.

 

thats what i did.

NO MUFFLER is correct NO MUFFLER, the only thing i did was cut off the exhaust from the muffler inlet back and had a 3" custom bent piece of stainless welded on, no tip, no mandrel, none of that. some people like it, some think it was cheap and not well done. I think it is the best bang for the buck. the tip alone was double what i paid for the custom pipe.... screw that, thats why i got stainless in the first place. it sounds best at 3200 after warm up in any gear doing a little work i.e. going uphill. no back fire either, it sounds just like the video here
