I am wanting to put a new muffler on my 2010 Silverado 1500 with the 5.3. I want something that has a nice throaty growl but isnt obnoxious. Can I go with just a muffler or do I need a complete cat back system? Thanks.

I have been a proponent of Magnaflow in the past, but I have started to notice that my 28" muffler has started to drone a bit on the highway, especially if the RPM stay around 2200.

 

Ive heard the Corsa makes a good one, but they are a little more expensive from what Ive seen.

 

Also, you can just replace the muffler and use the factory tailpipe. Pretty easy to do it yourself if you have a MIG welder handy, but any muffler shop can do it for just a few dollars plus the cost of the muffler.

i just put a magnaflow 22 inch on mine about a week ago, and i love it. I kept the stock piping on it. i would highly recommend them, its not load and it doesnt drone on the high way. the part number is 12589. flowmasters are crap IMO. i got the magnaflow for 106 dollars off bizrate as opposed to 200 from the website.

Put about 10K miles on it and it will start to drone a little. It wont be anywhere near what a flowmaster does, but it will begin to drone once the fiberglass starts to compact inside the case.

Well I hear that cherry bomb extreme's are a really good sounding muffler. Maybe look into those

I would submit for your consideration, the Dynomax #17233 UltraFlow Welded stainless steel muffler. 20" body, 3" in/out. Low rumble sound with no noticeable drone when AFM kicks in. JMO

Just get a muffler don't waste ya money on a full system. I have 3" dynomax vt and a corsair dual tip out stock location and love it. I would get it or a dyno ultra flow or a magnaflow. The vt when cruisingsm sounds stock but When acceleration or u punch it valve opens get louder.

CORSA for the win. No Drone ever. I have had the Sport and Touring. I prefer the Sport. My dad had a CORSA cat back on his 00 Cadillac Deville DHS. Awesome systems well worth the money in my opinion.

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
